Yesterday I watched a live 'Dayaro' for the first time in my life. I didn't understand most of it (as expected..), but I liked some of the dialogues and jokes. Overall, it was nice. After sometime, we left for home.
On the way, my husband asked, "How was it?"
I answered, "I saw flying money and that also live for the first time."
Yes. Money was flying. Most of you must have understood it by now.
In such functions, it is common to shower currency notes on artist, just to show happiness. When people get too happy with the artist or they get to involved in Bhajans, they do this.
I have heard about it and seen in movies, but saw something like this for the first time in reality. This sight caught all my attention. I was just observing this activity. I doubted, "No respect for money at all? What is this actually? I don't understand it at all. It is accepted in our society, but still I doubt it big time."
This was not it. Something shocked me more. A few men were there. They told two to three kids to go on the stage and gather all the money. Kids did whatever they were told to do. They gathered and put it in a big steel container. After sometime, people again showered money, so the kids again went on the stage and started gathering the money. At that time, the artist told that kid in mike while singing the Bhajans, "Haji bhega thava de (Let us get some more money then you gather it)."
Few days back, I got a video on a social media. It showed something like this. It also said that they were about to donate all the money they got. And it was few lakhs. So may be, with the amount they get in such functions they do charity. It is definitely a noble deed. I agree. But why to flaunt money? Why to show off? Why can't you simply go to the respective organization or place and donate it?
This tradition resembles our culture in one way. We have been taught to respect time. We have been taught to respect money rather than having cupidity for it. But when we see such thing in reality, it seems contradictory.
It is not right or may be, I am taking it in a wrong way. I still don't understand. In India people worship money through Lakshmi Pooja, but what I felt was disrespect for what you have earned.
