This is the final result of the kolam my classmates and I painstakingly did for 3 days. We're so proud of it. I am proud of it. But I can't help but feel sad about it as well. Because this kolam is made out of approximately 100 kg of rice!
I mean, 100 kg!! How many poor people can we feed with that? How many natural disaster victims can we help? This few months have been hard on countries like Indonesia and such because of typhoons, earthquakes etc and here we are in Malaysia, complaining about rain and the sun and wasting 100 kg of rice for art!
The things people do for art.
I feel like a hypocrite when I look at it sometimes. Like, we often say, "Don't waste food!" and voila! I'm wasting it right now!
But despite my bitterness towards this, I am very proud of my work. We finished it yesterday evening and already some naughty hands (and idiotic lady) disturbed it! I hate those people! There's a reason why the Tun Jugah management place those lines around it!
Oh well, another bitterness aside, I would like to wish all those who celebrate Deepavali,
Happy Diwali!
