Ashutosh loved the tea breaks, he took tea breaks between 4.30 to 5.00 PM every day. He along with his colleagues, Mani and Shankar, would go to the road side tea shop and have nice long chats. A break from the fast and hasty IT Company he worked in, they would discussed about everything under the sun and at times above it ;) It looked like it was about to rain but the steady wind delayed the rain, they signaled three "chai" to familiar shop owner and grabbed a packet of wafers.
Mani: "You know I saw a video on face book about the Fibonacci series, made me really wonder about god!"
Shankar: "Yup! Freaky to use Fibonacci series to make unique things, I thought Fibonacci series were used only on viva questions or practicals! :P "
Mani: "Haa haa…! You know it shows how god works from above us"
Ashutosh with smirk on his face: "so that’s how he works? On numbers? :P "
Shankar: "You don't believe in god?"
Ashutosh: "Yup! I do"
Mani: "Then what's with the sarcasm?"
Ashutosh: "I feel that God actually doesn't work! He is just a… just a… you can say viewer or watcher, 99% of things that happens in your life he doesn't control"
Mani: "Dude! He creates human beings!!"
Ashutosh: "Really?! I thought our parents created us :P "
Shankar: "He controls your life; he can change life the way he wants! God is the supreme!"
Ashutosh: "God might be the Supreme but definitely he doesn't control changes in life, it is us who writes our fate"
Mani: "So you don't think God does anything?"
Ashutosh: "Let’s put it other way… Do you all agree that if there is God he exists everywhere?"
Both Shankar and Mani nodded their head in agreement.
Ashutosh: "What I am trying to state is, there is a part of God in every one of us"
Now Mani has a smirk on his face: "Even Osama bin laden?"
Ashutosh: "Yup!"
Shankar: "You have lost your mind!!"
Ashutosh: "As I said 99% of your life is control by you only 1% by God, in that case what I said is perfectly right, Osama choose his path and Gandhi choose his"
Shankar: "You are confusing me!"
Ashutosh: "I am just saying people should stop believing that everything is done by God and start realizing that everything which happens in your life is because of you. People are using God as 'reason' for their actions, if same God created Osama and Gandhi then why the difference?”
Both of them had no answer.
Ashutosh: “I believe there is a part of God in everything, even in the advertisement model you see on the hoarding, call it God, call it x-factor, call it anything you want, but that is what makes everything unique, people should realize that factor is within them, and that factor is just a watcher, whatever you do in life is controlled by you alone! And people who realized it has realized what life is! :) ”
His friends were giving a weird look, Mani: “Are you saying that hoarding there is God?!!”
Ashutosh smiled, he couldn’t stop it, and looks on his friends face were too animated: “Shall we leave?”
Mani: “You know who real God is?”
Ashutosh:“My manager! He controls my life! :( ”
All of them laughed and started walking towards office. Ashutosh took a last glance at the hoarding and entered the office.
The shape on hoarding relaxed: “For few minutes I thought I was caught! Thank the humans!”

Your question as to whether God is responsible for both Osama and Gandhi has been addressed quite well in the novel ' My name is Red ' by Orhan Pamuk. The novel is quite boring, but in one of the chapters, the devil takes over the role of the narrator and explains everything. The novel won the Nobel prize for literature.
nice!...calls for a debate sometime!
i would rather say that we are 100%responsible for what we were,are and gonna be...
i agree to your point that there is a random number generation scheme for life, based on which life moves..
my belief is there is no existence of god..
few questions regarding the existence of god..
1) let us assume the existence of god to be true. can u explain the birth and death of god..
2)can u explain what life actually is and where we were before birth and where we are gonna be after death...
GOD:only a concept..not actual..
anbe sivam :)
Nice article. I am sure you are heading the right way. God bless you.
Superb da..! A nice one :) I can c d way ur thoughts r transforming.. keep it up .. :) Miles to go..
@Doc: Point noted, will check out that chapter alone ;)
@Arjun: :)
@Vishwa: Random number generation scheme for life is not my idea,it was posted on youtube, but i find it interesting :)
1) God's birth and death = Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed
2) Again same law, it may not be our body, but as i said the x-particle or the god particle within us tries to reunite with rest of the energy(this is just my theory/view)
@butty: thanks da!
Nice post da Vikram.Am not matured enough to comment on anything about the content. But in my view ,its jus on how you take up ur life, the way u see it and the way of execution for the happiness that ur inner thing feels....This God thing ,the mantras, the festivals, the formalities everything once created for someone(someppl) for their own pleasures and beliefs..Life has more to analyse and understand rather debating on the someone's invention(GOD).....I don say there isnt GOD, but discover GOD in ur own way.... :)
@Senthil: Thanks ! "poda poi pulla kuttiya padika vai" nu solra ;)
u touched a really subjective & contentious topic...:)...do agree with you that we tend to determine most of the things that happen to us...but i dont agree to your statement that god is just a spectator...
thanks palani :) it is just my view :)
@vkrm..hmmm :)
btw.. forgot to mention.. personification of the hoarding is too good da :)
@vishwa: danks danks ;)
I was referred to this page by a good friend of mine. Shrinivas Bhope, if you may. I must say, this piece of writing is excellent. :)
@praveen: thank you :)
Good one. Nicely said. What I feel is, We make a wrong decision, when we do not have courage to accept our mistakes, we blame GOD.It becomes a factor of escapism when we do not find an answer.
