At God's expense..

I know a 99% of religious people would wanna kill me and send me to burn in hell after reading this..But hey!!..I DON'T CARE!!

Having been on my people-observation spree again...it makes me feel confused if i should be feeling as scared for them as they are for themselves or continue feeling pity for them.With this whole " a million Hindu gods" and " supposed gods from all religions" thing going on , I sometimes wonder what does God's existence really mean to them..When they say " God is one".. do they really mean it or is it just another manipulative behavior to avoid conflict and become ' secular' in the eyes of others?

Well to come down to it, I have been ever confused to picture god in one form and worship that form for life..You may attribute this to be a part of my persona that gets bored very easily ..so much so that I can't even stick to worshiping one form of God..but hey.. this is probably because I have the realization that God is nothing but one's own higher self.

Why is it that we tend to externalize God and treat him like our boss or teachers or parents > doing things 'occasionally' to make him happy, like fasting and not eating onions during navratras?What difference does it really make if you do something daily and refrain from it for a few days? like not eating chicken or onions or grass for that matter!! if its wrong to kill a bird to satisfy your taste buds on a specific day.. is it right to kill it on some other day?? I think not.. its either black or white!!this or that..

Do you really think this is going to please your 'GOD'?? its rather a hypocritical behavioral pattern!!

Its super annoying and overwhelming to see people going to such extreme behavior..  one one hand.. they would worship female child , wash her feet and feed her with prasad on a specific day..and on the other.. a huge percentage of these very  people are against having a female child as a part of their family!! is this what our 'god' teaches us? I think not..

and i have often questioned people " would not shaving or shampooing  or washing your clothes on a certain day please your god or bring you luck?" and the answer i usually get is" i don't believe in it all.. but it doesn't make a difference to refrain from such things for some time."

IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO REFRAIN FROM MAINTAINING PERSONAL HYGIENE FOR A WHILE??

How nonsensical could one get.

I feel such people are the most stuck for they want to come out of the shackles of such misbeliefs but are scared and fearful of the unknown, of displeasing  the God...Or they are rather too rigid to open themselves to the simplicity and beauty of life.

It makes me feel overwhelmed to see how much fear and nasty stuff people carry in their hearts all their lives, mostly in the name of god or religion.

Ever wondered where does natural justice come from?yes-  from god!!

anybody ever seen god??- no!!

then why carry so much fear and guilt and so many distorted thoughts in the name of god and religion and not listen to one's higher self ??

A million questions.. a billion misbeliefs.. and answers?? well 'NONE ' or 'ALL'..are we really making the correct efforts?

Randomness during lectures

The professor, numb under the spell of his dumbness stood at the podium, having no idea as to where the class was heading towards..Haah! neither did we have any idea whatsoever!!

The situation felt grim and funny at the same time - a feeling that could be covered under what I term as 'accho-pie'.At about ten minutes to 6, a student easily walked into the class,cat- walked her way to the last seat and conveniently sat in her Cleopatran pose.

"Pleej.. listen to bhaat i say in the kilaas"- a voice emerged from far away , as it seemed- the professor was surely making desperate attempts to make his presence felt in the class.Its funny to see what went on during that one hour of our so-called 'lecture' - so much so that I'm sure a lot of my fellow classmates must have felt 'little' in one way or the other(pun intended).I mean who calls people to 'read'to the class! Haah.. sheer non-sense.

And then what I witnessed totally took me by my wits.. I had always seen such stuff in movies or read about them in fiction stories.. but now I had it all in front of me- a REAL pair of GEEKY twin- sisters dressed up as each others'mirror images, that too having emerged from the 70's, with the exact length of hair, braided in the exactly the same fashion with their 'nakli' Reebok t-shirts and the 'POMA' sandals, with the animal in a climbing position - well they just seemed to rock every guy's world  :o

 Walking towards the podium with her head high, one of the sisters reached out to read to the class from the Bare Act. In the meanwhile, I noticed myself wondering how proud one could get by reading out to am class led by a dumbhead at a Law School! well , i'd surely have a proud feeling if I were to read out the verdict of awarding Death penalty to Kasab.. but anyways... his death itself is a very TOUCHY topic.. for god's sake.. its been good riddance..Oh well.. coming back to the class.. all I could feel is NAUSEA!! <puke>
