Swami Vivekanand, We Need You

No, my memory is not failing me. My friend Mahesh, who hated Mathematics in general and Calculus in particular and to an extent where he considered leaving Integration for option for his 12th standard examination, often wished that he were Swami Vivekanand. With the photographic memory as Swamiji was claimed to have, he wanted to read a page, memorize it and tear it from the book, roll into a ball and aim it at the dustbin. Nor do I wish to deliver a speech like Swamiji did at Chicago where this master of oratory left the brothers and sisters gasping. My presentations laced with limited wit and more of sleaze are enough to impress the small audience that I have once in a while. And I do not aim to be selfless as Swamiji to hold the knife by its blade. But Swamiji, I still need you.
Now, what has happened is that I have a Dart board in my new house at Pune. Now before you arrive at any conclusions, let me clarify, I do not want to worship Swamiji for concentration power. With whatever concentration I possess or luck as the critic in you might say, I have been able to hit the bull's eye thrice, which is more than the number of hits all my roomies put together have had at it. But that is not the only record I hold. The top most hole on the wall is because of my misfired shot. And so is the left most one. Yes, I am also guilty for piercing that plastic folder lying not very close to the dart board. And I am not the only one who misfires. All of us combined have missed so many times that there now is an additional circle around the dart board. This circle of holes in the white wall is something that we need to hide from the landlord, whom I have not seen till date but I suppose is a nice person from what I have heard from Ajit. That day when he happened to knock at our door, Rajinder was careful to open the door to the minimum possible extent so as the landlord cannot have a peep at the wall. But then, that was only a temporary solution. Datta has come out with a permanent solution. A big poster of Swamiji to hide the wall. I am sure Swamiji with his serene face and captivating eyes will serve the purpose.
