Mahatma Gandhi para the conversation
Answers
Answer:
Today, I met Mahatma Gandhi. Yes, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. No, not in the dreams, but in real. I am not kidding.
Mom didn’t believe me. I don’t know why she thinks, I still make stories.
I am not lying, it isn’t in my head. I ain’t clairvoyant. Nor any of those difficult named psychological illness. I witness his presence in real — a white dhoti, round spectacles, a stick in his hand and yes a white cloth draped over his body — with a smile on his face.
I asked him, Bapu, are you in real?
He replies, it is up to you to decide. There is nothing absolute in the world.
I think to myself, How these big people speak so intense and philosophical.
So the further conversation goes this way-
Me: Bapu, I have a couple of things to say.
MG: My pleasure listening to you.
Me: So, first I will start with my recent experience. Some months back, I watched a Marathi play on Nathuram Godse. Yes, the man who killed you. I wanted to know his voice on your murder. Of course, it wasn’t justified in any sense. But, some of his thoughts made me think..
I do respect your thoughts and the tremendous work towards our nation. But, Nathuram at least deserves to be heard and not just hated. May be I am sounding like a hypocrite, now.
