Observed At Cleveland Shiva Vishnu Temple

So there I was sitting in the passenger lounge at O'Hare Airport in Chicago, waiting for the passenger boarding announcement. There was an another flight to India about to board from a nearby gate. As soon as the chick made the announcement for pre-boarding, all desis jumped up from their seats and headed towards the gate like bees chasing a very hot girl who dared to mess with their beehive.

Similar behavior is often seem at the Greater Cleveland Shiva Vishnu Temple in Parma, Ohio. As soon as the aarti bhajan is over, desis make a dash to the north side of the temple to be among the first in the line for the aarti. I suppose some are eager to get to the food at the lower level and then head home and watch TV and some do it out of instinct.

Bandar kitna bhi boodha ho jai, kulati marna nahi bhoolta.
