Oh My God!!!


Okay, From my childhood i have been taught that before we begin anything we must take the name of God.I however don't know whose name you take if you are born in a family which does not believe in God. I am guessing Mao Ze Dong!!

Now my first remembrance of god comes from my grandmother who every early morning used to pray to the various pictures in our "pujor ghor" at my mother's grandfather's house.She had taught me that in principle the concept of god is very simple.There are basically 3 super gods. Below him is a god who is the king of all other lower gods and below the king god are various other smaller gods. All gods excluding the 3 super gods held various jobs. They were responsible for mainting the various essentials on earth. A real Indian parliament in the heaven i must say. And like the parliament there is rivalry amongst gods who used their hapless servants on earth to get even with each other. Also one thing my grandmother taught me is that a god can have several sexy looking hot babes but a man on earth is entitled to only one ( sometimes not even hot and if you are totally unfortunate like me then perhaps no one).


My next impression of god is from school. "Jesus was the son of god and he came to earth to give mankind a new direction but alas he was crucified as the evilness in man did'nt allow for purity of jesus to spread". This concept of god later got more refined and i was taught about- the blood thirsty Romans who for no reason killed christians, the betrayer Judas, the good Samaritan , Adam and eve, etc. This concept was challenged by what my science teacher taught me namely that earth was not made by father of jesus but it happened over time when balls of gases condensed. I discarded this concept months after i began studying science after getting promoted to class-1.


Then when i became a teenager i got fascinated with the ideas of communism. Here there is no class in society. You work equal, get pay equal, use equal toilets etc. I liked this concept very much. To my small brain at that time this philosophy was the best. Initially it allowed me to argue with my mom that i and my teacher were equal and then it gave me ammunition to shout at a security guard who objected to my using the executive class urinal at the train when i had a 2nd class ticket. but when it came to god this philosophy could'nt explain as to what it was. "There is no god.".."Okay, then where do we go when we die????".."You don't go anywhere u just cease to exist.It is like that. There is nothing beyond here and nothing behind. You are just like any living thing".." Oh! FUCK".


My final idea of god was given to me by the art of living foundations and televsion gurus. They say " There is just one god.The true shiva . He is the eternal forgiving,the eternal powerful. He is your and everyone else's father.He is in you,he is in everyone and even in inanimate things"..."O.K maam why not a mother"..." He is what you will think him to be, a mother or a father or a brother even your wife even you"..This concept of god is amusing because it states that you can be forgiven even if you have committed the serious crimes. However it does state that God is abstract and cannot be recognised in true form. Its convenient as it just gives u a notion of something superior to the superiorest thing you can imagine... "What is my God???..well my god is Mr.Kim Jong ill...Why do i choose him as a God?? It is because he was the father of North Korea..literally.He is beyond any law in any land. He had the largest estate on earth and a personal army ,airforce and navy and as per N.Korean news he is the big bright sun"....
