yeesh!

I just heard that a very 'successful' and 'modern-minded' couple - husband a CA/MBA and senior executive in a large MNC, wife an engineer - arranged for a lavish Saraswati puja at home because their child, apparently, has been running from pillar to post to get a scholarship to some undergraduate course in the USA but has been unsuccessful so far. 

Just wanted my readers to know.

Suvro da,

I am sure Ma Saraswati will oblige these poor folks. After all a divine recommendation is highly valued.

Are these folks going to have a puja next year once junior has made it to the promised land?

On the other hand, i shudder to even think about the treatment that is in store for Ma Saraswati if junior does not make it.

Sir,

I was wondering why you are breaking your head on this?

Blind superstitions bind the mind.
There are people who have lots of money and they do wonder on how to spend them, and thus end up with silly things.
By the way I would like to convey my best wishes and tell the lad not to give up until his aim of scholarship is fulfilled.
