I finally caught up on Sunday's episode of NCW, and it was an interesting episode. I first I was not able to gather what the message was, and I also thought something was wrong with Bablu's health. I also thought at one point BD was not going to get his vacation approved, and I thought maybe the theme for today might be to be to talk directly for your needs. The scene with his boss was hilarious! 🤣 I thought BD was going to get fired for sure! 😆😆

Anyways, it's a very good point and done in a light manner about how we as human beings discount our sins and bribes according our needs, and it also brought into light how we do all of these rituals and things (especially in Hindu households) thinking God wants us to do this or that we are pleasing God. For example, I personally do not believe that going to the Ganga River will rid me of my sins, but so many other people believe that. If you have committed a sin, it's a sin no matter what you do. There are though, some sins we commit due to situational reasons, like how BD had to give the money for the bribe to the officers on the train. He knew it's a sin to give bribes, but he had to give in in order for his family to travel on the train. He felt very guilty about having to give it, but Shivaye's message to BD at the end was very nice. I will have to watch that part again because I do not remember it so well.

It was interesting how they challenged our belief system like that. 🥱

I totally agree with you, Tulip. Shivaye's message to Bhagu(😆) was clear and true. In our culture, we tend to believe that going to the Ganga River (Idk what else to call it, so I am calling it that cause you did😆) will clear us of our sins. What Shivaye said though, actually made me think that he is right. Why do humans want the mother (in this case the river) to clear them of all their sins? Do they stop to think that maybe they are insulting the river?

Besides, like you said a sin is a sin, and going to the river isn't gonna help. I personally believe that doing things like this doesn't get someone anywhere, but the least you can do is do good deeds and spread happiness. That won't help your sin go away, but at least you've regretted it, and decided to take steps into the positive direction. And that's doing something good in itself. 😛

Yes, what you said in the last part of your post is crucial to do. Often times, we get guilted by our past sins, but we have to tell ourselves (in order live) is that, "I know I did something wrong, but I cannot change what I did and those results. All I can do is learn as a person and not do it again and try to do as much good as I can."
