Calling GODS!


Recently in IPL I saw the “Appam” (read Sreesanth from the fakeiplplayer fame), praying profusely every ball he had to bowl at the opposition! Most balls were hit out of the park, but still the praying continued…Out of all the games he played the most comical was when Hayden was smashing him all around the park, but Appam very meticulously returned back to his bowling line and prayed continuously…What was he thinking??

Did he not understand that the prayers were not being answered? Unless of course he was praying to get hit! Out of all the games he played, in only one game he actually bowled well, which resulted in his praying increasing ten fold…


Unfortunately, recently I had to visit a hospital and I saw that there was a mini-temple right in the middle of the string of operation theaters…Neither the temple bells nor the God had even a second of free time…Almost the entire time I was waiting there, right through the night, I used to see people praying for the recovery of their loved ones…I am sure none would have asked why they were there in that hospital in the first place…!

Instances such as these show that being GOD is the most highly unaccounted Job. Its always a win-win situation for Him, with most people being steady followers of some God irrespective of what is really happening in their lives…Having said that God never applied for this job in the first place and neither did he ask us to do what we are doing…So cant blame him..:)

Last few weeks has been hectic to the core…There was not even an iota of time for anything…Hardly used to sleep…In this melee, a lot of positive things have happened, both professionally and personally. Professionally it was very hectic but turned out to be really good considering that the reward was something that was totally unexpected, and personally I have crossed a barrier that had been haunting me for a long time now…The pain and sorrow was extinguished in an instant. The thirst has increased, but I am all geared up to quench it!! Life has started looking more rosy and there is spring in my stride..:) When all these things have been happening the one thing that never stopped was my prayers…I always wonder why is that we continue to pray whether things go right or they go completely berserk…Whether there is an actual God or not, one thing is for certain – praying definitely helps to keep your target in sight without loosing hope, because you feel there is “that someone” out there listening to you, who will help you make your dreams come true..!!!
