In India, there's a ritual,
where, sometimes when people go out to some religious place, they wish for
something and tie a piece of cloth to a tree. They believe that by doing this,
they'll get what they wished for.. And if such happens, then they return back
one day, at the same place and untie the cloth.. Well, its obvious that finding
that same old cloth from all the others is not possible, so they untie any one
of them.. To be true, i never saw anyone untie a knot.. I don't know if it even
works or not.. Well, i'm not that much of a religious person, but, i would like
to try it out once. And, i don't think it'll work anyways, as people say that
we need to have faith in it, and i don't have that. But, i'll try..
Well, I suddenly came up
with such topic because today, i went out with some of my friends to visit one
of such religious places, and i saw a banyan tree which had infinite number of
cloths tied to its body and branches. I just stood there and stared at those pieces.
The thought that I was not just looking at some piece of cloths, I was looking
at the wishes of millions of people, was creepy and gave me goose bumps.
But, well, as people say,
religion is something we believe, and it differs from people to people. So,
let's just leave it to its place... :)
