The Supreme Court has given a ruling banning cockfights. Though it has been a part of our culture, during the recent years, it has become a huge spectacle with just about everyone from politicians to common man betting heavily during the season.
In fact, social media network is inundated with jokes which show Allu Arjun saying that on one single day, money to the tune of state budget will be betted in cockfights.
No matter where you reach in life, what you do during your growing up years stays with you. So is the case with well-known comedian MS Narayana.
He says he would enjoy the festival and be a part of all the events in and around his village near Bheemavaram.
Having worked as a lecturer there, he says he can still remember the cockfights, the huge Bhogi bonfires and the festive spirit all over.
Well, he also confesses that he enjoyed eating hot chicken pakodas after watching cockfights along with a drink. And before you ask the obvious question, he says he never placed a bet on any cock.
Narayana also says the best festival was the one in his village, where people would competed to light the biggest bonfire. The sons-in-law would enjoy the festival in particular and the energy that the three days gave would stay on for a very long time, he says.
Today, everything has changed and that’s rather sad, says Narayana.
