ALROODU KA MATH
Let me tell you a samll story.
Alroodu is a small village in northern Karnataka, where many 'Sadhus' live. During the night these sadhus sit together and talk about their daily experiences and discuss what all they can do. Some say that they will go to a certain village & join some 'Math' (ashram) and start preaching, worshiping and doing social service. Some others say that some day they will bulid their own math at some village nearby and start on their own, etc & etc. But when morning comes all the sadhus take their katoras and go out of Alroodu for bhiksha & spend their day wandering from one village to another. Evening comes and the sadhus come back to Alroodu and talk and discuss again.
Story ends....
This story was told by Karu (one of my college friends).
I had been to Pune last week, needed a break from Bangalore. In addition, its always great fun to have Dhar, Karu & Prakash (my college frnds). Besides the masti and all, there is always some conversation which starts up on various unconnected topics, giving out ideas & a lot many things which we hardly think of normally. Similarly this time as well, we were talking a lot about this and that idea, when Karu told us the story of 'Alroodu ka Math'.
Nothing universal, but when I get together with my friends, a lot of time is spent in dicussing about a such and such idea, and we can do this and that, and we should do this and that. But next day, we all are back to our grand old comfortable IT jobs. Or rather back to the Alroodu ka Math.
