Cars et al

Have you ever noticed how many people have 'Ram', 'Om' and the like written on their car windows? Or whenever they get a new vehicle they do 'pujas' and they have that ribbony thing on their car hood for a few months?

I just wondered, we Mizos are supposedly very strong about our religion, but how many of us in Mizoram have 'Jesus' or 'Isua' etc written on our cars? How many of us hand over our cars, houses and other possessions to God even by a small prayer? Many Christians here in Delhi (and other places) have 'Jesus saves' or some such pasted on their cars. I know it's probably not a very important issue, but it's just a thought, are our material possessions kept separately from our spiritual side? Maybe we are just not too showy about how we feel, maybe it's not a very cool thing to do, maybe we don't think it's all that necessary. But for some reason, it feels kind of nice when I see Jesus' name anywhere, even on the back of a car. It's just a thought :)

Hmmmm, the 'lucky charm' thing could be a major factor. But seeing 'Jesus saves' in a sea of Oms and Rams is still nice, doncha think, boss?
