"Here, take it", he said pulling out something from his pocket.
It was pitch dark on the pavement so there was no question of making out as to what was being pulled from the smart blue shirt's pocket.
"Keep it", and a yellow flower was placed on her palm.
A flower that had earlier that day survived from being crushed under the foot of some devotee.
"So from where is this coming?", was her next question.
It was not the general category of flowers which she had received in the past.
"It's from the temple", he replied.
"Temple??", she was startled to hear that.
"Yes, the one which is near to my office, remember?", he said.
"Yea...yea...okay", she got the source of the flower.
"But you went to the temple? When ? Why and with whom?", a lot of inquiries were done. Usual nature of women.
"I don't need a company to go to a temple", he found the question way too weird to answer.
"But yaar, I don't know whose temple I visited?", he said.
"You don't know? Matlab (what do you mean?)", she was confused now.
"I mean, I went to the temple, offered the prayers, got the Pundit's blessings but I actually don't know which God or Goddess I worshipped !!", his reply was enough for her to keep laughing for next few minutes.

Lol,good! That sounds so like me!
Recently we went to this temple atop a hill and the priest even allowed us(trekkers) to sleep in for the night and the following week when people asked me which God/goddess...I had NO freaking idea :D
It doesnt really matter. God is one after all. Btw couldnt resist making members a 200 :
LOL... :-)
Been there, done that! :P
On a more serious note, if the intention is to surrender to the Almighty, it doesn't matter what idol is in the temple and by what name people call it. After all, there is but only 1 superpower which we give many names and manifestations:)
