Itne saare log.

Day One
The Discussion is about the long queues at Tirupati temple. One has to wait for hours to get a "darshan" - a look of the deity. I have been there. The temple is probably the richest in the world - counting the donations, etc.

Me - It is a waste of time to spend so many hours in heat and sweat in the long queues, pushing each other, just to get a small glimse at a black statue. It lasts a few seconds. The statue isnt particularly beautiful, and we have seen it so many times in photographs.

Others Mostly silent.

He - Umm.. Uhh..

Me - It would be much better to move around the beautiful hills, the trees. The surounding area is so beautiful ! God is there maybe, not in the statue. I didnt feel any divine presence, I dont think that is God.

He - Well, aah.. that cant be true. Itne saare log galat nahi ho sakte.

Probably he didnt feel any divine presence either. Maybe so many people cant be wrong. Perhaps.

Day Two
Me - Well I finally got tickets for Ghajini.

He - Cool..

Me - In the rush, the way people were fighting for the tickets, it reminded me of you..

He - Why?

Me - It was only yesterday, you said - Itne saare log bewakoof nahi ho sakte.
