Questioning the questionable

Aaj office e ekta daarun discussion holo kichu colleagues er shonge...about Durga Pujo. This is purely fun and is in no way meant to hurt sentiments. I being pretty religious myself treat this as just a humorous anecdote.

Discussion ta ki theke shuru holo bolte gele onek time lege jaabe, tai jist tai likhchi. Mot Kotha holo je amra je eto ghota/bahaar kore Durga (Goddess Durga and her Family) pujo kori proti bochor, taar theke amra ki shikkha pai?

Durga as incorrectly believed is not really the wife of Shiv (Durga and Parvati are different entities). She is actually an embodiment/culmination of the powers of all gods/goddesses.

Therefore, that makes Parvati a very frustrated wife . Then comes the chequered pasts of all of Durga's children...

Ganesh - Created by Parvati from bath cosmetics, decapacited by Shiv, added with a makeshift elephant head, obese and last but not the least - married to a BANNANA tree (of course coz he wasn't getting married otherwise...)

Saraswati - Another frustrated soul...frustrated with extreme knowledge, skill and beauty (some details are edited to make this family safe).

Kartik - Born from a reed, adopted by Shiv, extremely good looking/decorated and figure conscious, Likes flashy vehicles, out & out playboy (or probably impo----), never married till date.

Lakshmi - Gorgeous and wealthy, married to a philandering husband, never had a family of her own despite being her husband's so called favorite.

Last but not the least SHIV - Indulges in all vices, keeps dressing to a minimum, has questionable associations/hangouts, takes his consort along everywhere even when he is with his wife!!!

Eto kichu shotteo, amader purbo purush ra (undeniable WISE MEN) emni ekta family ke pujjoniyo keno bole chilo??? Aar tai jodi hoye tahole western culture ke noggonno keno bolechilo? Double standards er maane ta doubly dubious hoye geche.

P.S - Please keep future comments lighthearted and humorous as that is the only intention of this post.
