The saner way of looking at this picture is to view it rationally. Surely, the all-knowing, all-seeing lord, in his infinite wisdom, would understand that his time-, attention-, and devotion-strapped devotees didn’t have the time, attention or devotion to bid him goodbye in the same way they welcomed him.
The less charitable way of looking at this picture is to view it as proof, full and final, of our civic consciousness, or utter lack of it. The brazen use of plaster of paris and lethal chemicals and paints to immortalise our devotion says much of how much we value his creations—the ponds, the lakes, the rivers—with vacuous prayers on our lips.
Which is why, this idol which wouldn’t become one with the water at a special pond in the Ulsoor lake in Bangalore on Wednesday, is now having to be disposed of thus, like last night’s garbage. Not that the good lord would mind, of course, in his infinite wisdom.
Or perhaps not.

There is one more ‘logical’ way of looking at this picture: This must be the real Ganesha, supposedly formed of goddess Parvati’s dirt and then beheaded (& re-headed) by lord Shiva. His returning back to garbage tank makes sense in a way. Perhaps,his devotees chanted “dump”athi Bappa Morayya and dumped him in this manner. Alas! – Srivathsa Joshi; Washington DC

Yes true. we were nincompoops till now. your reply makes me feel some are still dreaming in nincompoopsy.
I request you to start behaving like a citizen of third world country when you comment . I know you can improvise Einstein’s imagination prowess.
after crumbling atleast some can start afresh.
It becomes important to know who was so close to Nandita Gurjar to have still retained her out of the 8 founders. The quiet womanizer after Phaneesh. Pai cannot be a bad guess.
Also we need to build up US links from worker point of view who can see these corruptions and whisteblow immediately so that not all girls are exported.
WikiLeaks is growing strong. More leaks should happen from Indian HR offices so that the myth gets busted quickly and Mysuru administration should take strict measures against the fraud company.

If you talk less nonsense about ‘Einstein’s imagination’ and ‘third world country’ and ‘nincompoopsy’, and try to make coherent points instead of posting disconnected bullshit, people might take you seriously.
What’s that you say? “Start posting like a citizen of a third world country”, eh? Maybe you have ‘third world’ branded across your butt, but the rest of us are sensible enough not to subscribe to such bullshit.
Next time you comment here, try to talk sense, and make your points in a clear and coherent fashion, you might get some sensible responses and have a reasonable discussion.

We are discussing from a long time and funnily you still have the same butt. Just that I changed from Murthy to Anurag because churumuri had some issues.
and I have to tell you that third world brand is not a brand or tattoo on butt but awareness in the mind.
But yes you still act true to that first world Delhi around Rajiv chowk, metro, malls and among protenaceous thighs of punjab . It does enhance confidence with whatever sigmund freud’s logics but you need to gather AWARENESS to be what you called SENSIBLE . I suggest you to travel and STAY in remote corners of country and build your knowledge and awareness.
As is said

I swear, I thought of typing in, “are you Murthy’s new avatar?”. The disconnected nonsense in the comments, useless references to things like “Einstein”, ranting against liberalization as a whole… all of it reeked of “Murthy”. I am happy that there aren’t two such crazy people out there, but just one. :)
