Well how often do we come across this question "Do you believe in god?" and most of the times person asking the question is either a strong believer in the existence of god or he is not. If you believe even partly in what he thinks it is good for you otherwise well the argument becomes so violent at times that only "GOD" can save you.
Most of you will be aware about the constant cold war going between religion and science. Now all of you must have come across this argument more than once that well " if u don't think the god exists then who created this universe? " and the argument does not have any replies since science can answer you what happened at time t = 1 sec but will be unable to say what exactly happened at time t = 0 sec, the day science finds an answer what exactly did happen time t = 0 sec and how this universe was created then religion won't have any unanswered questions I guess. Now how do you visualise god to be? the so called creator of this universe, hmmm lets try...a huge tall man with a long white beard, an unlasting kindness in his eyes, juggling 3-4 galaxies at a time. Over the years, every religion be it hindu, muslim or any other have described god in one or the other ways. It's different forms and the kindness the god posseses and so on.
Now if we think muslim religion also permits a guy to marry four women. Now according to hindu religion it is a sin. The reason ( as far as i know ) that muslim religion allowed a man to marry four women is that the time religion was formed sex ratio of man to woman was 1:4. So that was the primary reason of having such a law. So is it not possible to heal the wounds which were not healed by humans themselves or thought they can not be healed, those very humans were conditioned to believe in some super power by the learned men of those times?? or was it just a temporary answer to all unanswered questions of those times?? . Now I really don't know the answer and personally I believe everyone defines his or her own god.
For me well god is a faith which we believe in, a faith, a hope to see a better tomorrow, a reason to make people smile even in their toughest times. An energy which people find from the deepest corners of their minds and hearts in their worst times. God is that neverlasting reservoir of hope, faith, energy which is in every single human being that has ever stepped on this planet earth. I guess no one can question the authority of "this" god.
Now I don't know what will happen if some day science does discover what exactly happened at time t =0 sec. Hence proves that well guys there was no white bearded man after all. Still I am sure of the fact that my GOD won't die.

Thanks!
I just couldn't resist myself posting this monologue from one of my favourite movies "American beauty" so here it goes....
" I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me but its hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the world...sometimes I feel like I am seeing it all at once and its too much.... my heart fills like a balloon that's about to burst then I try to relax and stop trying to hold on to it then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. "
It fills with me new spirits whenever I read these few lines. Hope it serves the same purpose for you.

A dream
Well, I have often come across this question "who's the luckiest person in the world?". I am not really planning to give my opinion on this question that easily. To the readers unknown to me ( I am sure there is noone falling in this category ) well I am studying in bits-pilani and I just completed my first year. I often used to spark off discussions with whoever I possibly could, about a theory I call "default engineers". I am sure all of you reading this will have this theory somewhere at the back of your mind, yet I list a few salient points of the theory :
1) Most of the people studying in bits are not really passionate about engineering as a subject
2) If given a chance they would choose other fields over engineering ( irrespective of the so called "risks and courage" needed to pursue those fields )
3) They landed up in bits due to some or the other reasons that would include parental pressure...brother or sister in bits, best friend is doing it, or they just simply go with the flow
4) They all are surely gonna pursue something other then engineering for rest of their lives
After I am finished with my theory and they are also convinced that yeah it's true, the instant flurry of questions would be
1)"what exactly are we doing in bits?"
2) "shouldn't we just do what we love to do irrespective of how it will make my dad feel or how much money it would fetch?"
after a bit of discussion they would also agree that "yes, we should but what and how do we find out what we want to do?" The discussion would invariably hit a dead-end at this point. The motive of writing a post here is not really to address that question and frankly i dont know what the answer is, really. Though, I feel I have something more to say.
Here it goes, well, once you DO find it out, its gonna bring you that eternal joy and happiness that every human being on this planet earth is looking for, somewhere in his subconscious mind. An everlasting smile on your face without a reason that ur close pals, ur parents would love to see and feel happy about. U are gonna wake up with something to look forward every morning, with a determination to do something and be happy and satisfied about it when you end your day for every single day you live of your life.
so coming back to the first question "who is the luckiest person on this planet?" according to me a person, who knows what to do in his life from day one that is gonna give him an everlasting joy and an unbounded happiness. Let's say ,a sportstar who knows he wants to stay associated with the game for every single moment of his life after he had first played the game at the age of four, may be. My dream is to find out what I want to do in life that's gonna make me happy forever.
Now it does raise a few questions:
1) what if I never found out?
2) what if I think I found it and then it wasn't to be?
I have an opinion on these questions too but may be some other time...
This post is not really meant to show any kind of light in your life but yes it's an effort to pull some strings in your heart as well in your mind and yeah if things got a bit messy in the post then please let it go. I am just an amateur :).
