The closing ceremony -olympics-2024 an ardent wait to bask in the regalia of exotic send off ! The charged stadium stood like a skeleton stripped of its flesh and blood. The dismantling of the stately structures being dragged by the 'hewers of wood and drawers of water' who stood constant since time immemorial even after generational changes in civilizations when only the roles reversed and their fate remained unchanged till they have turned into mere objects or breathing creatures waiting eternally to tow the line of their masters. For them the beginning or the finale meant the birth and the toil in between and the final culmination in penury. For them their sensibilities were blunted through their struggles for mere survival when the wistful singing of Lady Gaga or Sinatra's 'My way....' fell flat on their ears.
