Bapuji ‘I informed all don’t hear bad, don’t speak bad and don’t see bad but no one listened… and then God decided…’
The whole class echoes… ‘CORONA came in like a CROWN… and we were left with masks / face shields ‘
Bapuji ‘see I cannot come every year to give such lectures and sessions… please understand the importance of masks’
Class student Roja ‘Sir… but how to stop those protests all over’
Bapuji smiles ‘non confidence movement… satyagraha movements… so many movements I pioneered.. and all because someone or other were dominating and trying to create monopoly… I guess the mood of people cannot be stopped.. As long as they protest… it is fine’
Class student Zakir ‘but what about social media… so many hate messages’
Bapuji ‘In my days… news would need people… and even today the news need people.. this polarized hate… it is unfortunately directed both inward and outward… I had told all to boycott foreign goods and then.. after so many decades…. again same message… am amused… why did we first and foremost let go that principle.. and now when technology comes in.. we wish to become Aatma nirbhar.. how? so many braindrains… so many settled in foreign countries and so easy to preach… give flattering dialogs.. but of no use… ‘
Class student Samir ‘Sir.. we are not having jobs’
Bapuji ‘didn’t I teach all to have minimalistic living… we are caught in materialism.. no kids want to become intern for free… am fedup.. why you called me… here.. through that planchete etc..’
Class students ‘Sir… we are also confused.. when will Corona virus disappear’
Bapuji smiles…
Bapuji ‘are you kidding… vaccination and all that… when we talked of Ayurvedic science… all didn’t take it seriously and now we have that Cassia Cinammanon (Dalchini) being exported from India to China.. our spices… used by other countries to make Drugs and again it will be sold back to India.. I cannot control my laughter’
Class student Roshan ‘Sir… what you feel about our political scenario’
Bapuji ‘am laughing still…. wait… I never saw Circus in such way…. we stop animal from performing.. and just see the performances… you tell… me one thing… I never promoted my own dynasty so why will anyone wish to promote that… and not sure why someone will keep talking about my ideologies but ..was I not shot dead due to polarized view
Class students silent
Bapuji ‘Dear students.. do you know.. any protests create multiple hatred, revenge thoughts… people should not imitate me blindly… ‘
Class student Radha ‘Sir… why this boundary fights’
Bapuji ‘they did earlier too.. you know the trauma during independence.. divide and rule… had told so many times for all to be united..but who wishes to listen… can I ask one question to you.. am curious’
All students jump.. and say yes
Bapuji ‘who put me on that note?’
All look at each other..
Bapuji ‘every day am exchanged… then during demonetization.. more I got exchanged.. trampled.. burnt but a amused.. there were rumors of me being replaced by a lead’
Class teacher Anne comes in…
Anne ‘students… with whom you are discussing’
All echoe ‘Bapuji’
Anne ‘are you all nuts… why will he come’
Bapuji ‘dear… that Munnabhai made money.. but then.. no one really changed systems.. I tried to do.. someone trying now’
Students ‘our PM’
Bapuji smiles
Bapuji ‘Corona Virus… see the discipline which it is bringing in… all stay put in masks… all realizing family bonding important… and boldly declaring ‘covid positive’… so much transperancy.. and hand sanitizers all over… I love it all… ‘
Students ‘any last message for this session Sir to the world’
Bapuji ‘do not try to solve problems using my principles if you are not convinced… solve the problems where human will be more happy…. see today that vaccination investor became more rich then our industrialist’
Students begin laughing..
Bapuji ‘all need to change… that change is now coming in form of viruses as no leaders are facilitating those changes’
Students ‘all leaders are not bad’
Bapuji ‘all are excellent.. but we never talked ill of each other those days… so…’
Students ‘hence mask protects us from not hearing bad… not speaking bad… we do see things in bad shape… and hence refuse to follow your last principle… do not see bad things’
Bapuji smiles ‘it was in different context’
Students ‘Sir…thanks so much for coming over here’
Bapuji ‘am in Notes.. no one can forget me ever… am ingrained everywhere… not sure why’
Students ‘because… we all respect you’
Bapuju ‘Is it so?? I thought all of you forgot me… ‘
Students ‘so many leaders mention about you’
Bapuji ‘ok… am leaving.. 2020 is also ending… wish all a very happy and prosperous new year.. be healthy.. be safe’
