With all the anti corruption thing happening around the world especially India, I wonder if we can bribe anyone to get our work done these days. Bribery is something that has been happening since god know when times and I am no newbie to the whole thing. I got to know from an early age that bribery exists in all forms and everybody does it.
Bribing God to pass the exams, get boy friends, get good husbands, etc.. are the most common (some times even class test for people like me) Guess everyone agrees with that ??
The things we do to bribe are some of the most illogical like fasting, being vegetarian for few days, sacrificing a few things, best one is shaving the head.....Sounds weird but most of us consider God to be Bribable !!!
Saying that, doesn't mean that I don't consider. Guess at this point of time I am first in the list of people bribing God. Next to me on the list is my Dad bribing for me. I know all of you will be doing awwwwwwwwwwww now...but he is the best Dad in the world.
I love my PAPA.
Way back in 2010 when I was still waiting to be diagnosed and treated for the pains and aches that I had, one fine day my dad called my husband and asked him to come to London as my parents live there. Me and my husband used to stay in Brighton those days. So as planned we went to meet my parents and my dad mentioned that he was thinking about going to the temple and I knew the reason why. Like most Indians he is Orthodox and God fearing. He believes in all the million or should I say zillion gods, goddesses, devils ( that includes in all forms like cows, snakes. bulls, trees, plants, and god knows what else).
So we became pilgrims and off we went on our one day pilgrimage to four temples in and around London. All this to bribe God to cure his daughter. Now you can imagine how sweet my Dad is :)))))
The bribing still continues !!!
BLESS ME AND MY PAPA
