Vinayak Chaturthi – Is it a must to celeb???

The recent NASA report about the lowering ground water levels in the sub continent shook many a Indian. Immediate measures are to be seriously taken up. The Onus depends not only on the Government but also on every educated citizen who is really concerned about the nation’s or indeed their own future in the years to come. For the past one year citizens must have been habituated to Inflation , Recession , Terrorism , etc. But the unseen worse problem which we are yet to face is the DROUGHT and the Water Scarcity. I am neither an athiest to fetter the devotees from celebrating the Vinayak Chaturthi nor I am an uncanny orthodox extremist to celebrate the festival despite the fact that the Nimarjan demands huge water resources. My unfeigned suggestion to the fellow readers and the local level Ganapathi Idol organizers is to rethink before establishing the Idol as it really consumes considerable amount of water resources for the nimarjan activities. Every time we see Lord Ganapathi not only in every colony but also in every gully. All the apartments in a colony establish their own Idol for worship. Instead club with two other near by colonies and establish the Ganapathi.This really reduces the water requirement for Nimarjan to nearly one third. It is in our hands to protect our resources while preserving the tradition.
