I drew a parallel to myself.
They call it The Ganges, I my parallel.
Well, lets call it the Gangotri phase of my life, where i was pure (well thats wht my name is supposed to mean after all :-D ), unadulterated by the outside world and more importantly eductaion ;-) A small, little, bald, cute baby who as time progressed grew not so cute, not so cute, till one day he was no more cute.
And then the Haridwar phase began, where the flow actually started. An introvert that it was, The Ganges never breached its boundaries flowing gently calmly and silently through the plains.....
That was till it reached the Kanpur phase, read engineering, where the heavy pollution started.
Burdened with a lot more than what it could actually bear and actually what it didnt want to bear, it moved ahead. It got murkier and murkier. But now the Ganges became an extrovert, breaching the boundaries, flooding other peoples lives with sometimes joy, sometimes with sadness. Some smaller tribuataries joined in, read friends, and life was never complaining again. It could take care of the high BOD and COD levels :p
As i wait pateintly now, for the Allahabad phase, where some Yamuna would come and merge ;-)
I appeal to one and all.
"SAVE THE GANGA. DONT POLLUTE IT."
:D
