God Too Is Watching Thou, Boisterous Backbenchers!
Folks!
I'm out with all required gears for an early morning walk towards a community park.
Dawn is very romantic and breezy. The traffic on the main road is so deserted that you can take a number of selfies from different angles. Only some rag pickers are scrounging for scraped saleable items from the garbage. The security guards are taking naps with half-open eyes like zombies.
Streets are eerie. Air is playful. Tree branches and leaves are swaying to and fro cheerfully. Some stray dogs are loitering in their dominant gang. My long hair is flowing backwards with the oncoming gust of air. My face is feeling heavenly frozen. A chill is apparent in the air.
Cool air is blowing and buffeting my face as it happens romantically in open-car-drive and bike-riding in Hill Stations like Dalhousie, Shimla, Switzerland etc.
I'm passing by a Shiva temple. I must bow to the deity or deities to have some blessings in this Kalyuga world. He is the Almighty and Ever-present.
I suspect how human beings could be so lazy and lethargic under the strict surveillance of God. Simply because physical and spiritual obesity has taken over a whole generation due to deficiency of benign Karmas.
My mind is now circling around the variety of students in an offline class as the online era of COVID 19 is dying down like ethics.
I'm talking about the studious quilt-wrapped, chat-lover, one-day-a- week bathers, momos-devourers uniformed, often called BACKBENCHERS, mediocre middle benchers and forcibly seated bright-looking front benchers. Any Vantage Point can skip their hyena sort of sincerity.
Ironically, meritorious students are invisible during active classes until final results despite having a serious look over their gait.
Now, nothing is different or indifferent about them. All is one and one is all. They function in crowds or hordes as we can define so, merging and emerging with new qualities and tinge.
So, the point is that God is counting the sins of these lethargic social animals still living like sloths in this scientific golden era.
However, I don't hold any grudges against their postures and gestures. Because they will finally attain these qualities in their 50s.
Backbencher has become a notorious term in academic circles all around this globe we dwell upon. Teacher community can identify the particular symptoms of the benchers by simple observation and cursory glances. Backbencher has become a class itself, minted later in socialists, capitalists, and other varieties.
Nowadays it's become a vogue to look cool by showing off a demeanor that's once counted as defaulters'. Now fashion is everything.
Remember, this age is definitely supporting such thriving tribes. We have become laggards in every technological aspect compared to our other peers. Nonetheless we'll catch up with them very soon with the help of AI and IoT. But to only keep a tab on them, not to ditto.
One more interesting thing is that these backbenchers are so socially, religiously and politically active in their later lives that even the political class has a room for them to influence community consciousness and rule the roost.
Now I have reached my park to stretch my physical and aesthetic dimensions. You too can skyrocket your fancies.
