Bumps- Ah Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

The most sacred religious ceremony performed when wallclock (or for that matter any clock!) says, "Your birthday starts now..." is BUMPS!!!!! Although this must be known to everybody, but for highly illiterate sections of society, let me explain the ritual briefly. All your close ones gather at a place; two (or some time, it can be 3-4 also) people get your body in their arms (one hold legs and other arms), and suddenly, you feel proud to have risen few feets, thankful to those lovely people... Rest of lovely people worship your back portion till one of the following conditions gets satisfied:
1. Majority can see all colors of rainbow on it (or be sure about it..)
2. Majority appreciates your dramatic cries (Ideally they should start before first "Aarti")
3. People who have come to worship start fighting amongst themselves (some stupid being highly sentimental about others spitting their wrath on an innocent)
4. You lose consciousness (as you can't bear so much respect at one time)
5. Majority feel tired and hungry too.......

There can be two motives behind active participation in this noble activity. One is pure friendly intention and other is highly friendly (Like "Janam Janam ka sath hai tumhara hamara" or "Ye dosti hum nahi todenge" type..) People in first case are confirmed atheists, so they don't worship, but second type are pure ascetics... A leading doctor Udham Singh, AIIMS said, "There are various benefits of BUMPS... Memory retention power increases.. You can't forget birthday of anyone who attended your ceremony.... This leads to more interactions, warm and healthy relationships."

Recently I found a shop in Miranandani Complex, where you can get glasses through which you can see real intentions of this fake world. I saw them at a recent gang-bang of one of my friend. Results, though very bad and humiliating, didn't shock me as were expected... His close friends (I mean so-called friends) were bashing him with kicks, footwear, hockey.. whatever they could find (not with good motives, I am sure..)... Infact, there are some moments when you can check who's your friend... They say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed" How true!!!

The problem of carrying this evil way of worshipping in society lies in society itself. Once prayed in the manner, everyone accepts it for next one year before he is given realisation for his misdeeds in last one year. I think this is a heinous crime, and imbibes in youth, a quality of extremism/hatred, which rises its head at various occasions.

I strongly condemn the practice, and sincerely hope that victims of one time won't increase the number (Think what will happen if AIDS patients wish to spread it up????). This will slowly erode away then and relationships will improve at a subtler level. May God listen to my wish... Aaaammmeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!
