I have been thinking of writing this post for the past 2 days but havent got time. Finally..I am skipping today's workout and sat down to finish what on my mind.
I am confused. First question is, "Am I Athiest?" I guess the answer is No. Because I still go to the Temple. If I dont trust in God, I shouldnt be going to Temple, right? But, Do I believe in God? "I dont know". One has to take only either of the stance,"Believe or not". But I am on the wedge. Not able to make my mind on God.
I argue with my mom when she talks about God, temple, Pujas, etc., For eg., she asked me to lit the lamp in the Ganapathy Temple in my street before I left home for the airport in India. I argued with her saying,"mom..nothing happened to me in the past just because I didnt pray God".. But still I went to lit the lamp. Does that mean, I fear for God? Or I did that for my mom to satisfy her? Either way, I dont know what I should be believing in.
But a curious conversation between Chartrand and Camerlengo-The Priest in Angels and Demons novel caught my eyes.
Chartrand: "Father, May I ask you a strange question?"
Camerlengo: "Only If I may give you a strange answer"
"I have asked every priest I know and I still dont have answer"
"What troubles you?"
"I dont understand this omnipotent-benevolent thing"
"You have been reading Scripture"
"I Try"
"You are confused because Bible describes God as and omnipotent and benevolent deity"
"Exactly"
"Omnipotent - benevolent simply means that God is all powerful and well-meaning"
"I understand the concept . Its just ... there seem to be contradiction"
"Yes. Contradiction is pain. Man's starvation, war, sickness.."
"Exactly.Terrible things happen in this world. human tragedy seems like proof that God could not possibly be both all-powerful and well-meaning. If He loves us and has the power to change our situaton, He would prevent our pain, wouldn't He?"
"Wouldn't He?"
"Well...if God loves us, and He can protect us. He would have to. It seems He is either omnipotent and uncaring, or benevolent and powerless to help"
"Do you have children"
"No"
"Imagine you had an eight year old son...would you love him?"
"OfCourse"
"Would you do everything in your power to prevent pain in his life?"
"OfCourse"
"Would you let him skateboard?"
"Yeah. I guess. Sure I would let him but I'd tell him to be careful"
"So as this child's father, you would give him some basic, good advice and then let him go off and make his own mistakes?"
"I wouldnt run behind him and mollycoddle him if thats what you mean"
"But what if he fell and skinned his knee?"
"He would learn to be more careful"
"So although you have the power to interfere and prevent your child's pain, you would have choose to show your love by letting him learn his own lessons?"
"Ofcourse. Pain is part of growing up.Its how we learn"
"Exactly"
=======
After reading this, but one question popped up immediately, "Does this mean God would never show up?"
If so, why should I believe in God? Because if there is God, he gonna let me do mistakes and learn from it. So, either way, final result is me falling and learning. So...I dont have to believe in God...... But... I dont know if I want to do that. So...I am not Athiest :)

Arranged marriage???
Indians are famous for Arranged marriage.... Still arranged marriage in 21st century??? Oh Yes.. why not?
Am I against arranged marriage? No. I am not. But is it still necessary? Answer is Yes and No. No is for those lucky ones who fell in Love with the lucky he/she and Yes for those not-so-lucky. I just feel lucky about those people who got arranged marriage.
For some reason I am still single. I was in vacation for 2 weeks in India and as usual my family wanted me to find a girl asap. I did respect their feelings and went on meet few girls. But I didn't feel right about it from day one.
Think about this; you go and meet a girl, see her and have to tell the family about your decision. Girl is all dressed up in nice Saree; coffee and sweets; But you doesnt get the feeling that she is the right one for you. Ok. So, what now? How would the girl feel about this? What is she, a baby doll? There will be 10 guys coming and seeing the girl; and assume that all 10 doesnt feel right about their match. How would she feel? Its like someone officially saying that,"Sorry dear, I dont like you". Being a guy, I am feeling so bad about this. Its embarrassing. This is disgusting.
For all those singles out there, please find someone who really loves you/cares about you. Dont go for arranged marriage. Even those people who consider me as enemy, if you are still single, please dont be. All the best in your search.

Back Again
And for those friends who visit my blog, and I am back again after so long. I wish I could write more from now on. Well, I dont have real reason to state why I haven't been writing lately. But I do have some stupid reasons like, "I was busy. I didn't had time. I am a freak. I am a physcho. I am a bad person". haha. Sounds good, isn't? Hey..I could see some of you saying whtever reasons given are true. Well..you all welcome to bitch me because this is free world.
Hahaha...Does it really make any sense of whtever I am saying? I guess it doesn't. Bc it doesnt make any sense for me either. Kewl. you know what guys, most of the time I end up writing things like this only without even knowing what I am trying to say. gosh, its just a surprise that most of the time I end up saying what I feel.
Ok. Here it is. Some of my friends have been saying and asking me to write a novel or something like that as they believe that I write good. I am not sure about that. Because, all I know is simple english. Like, This. Like what I have been writing now. Just natural. Just whatever I come across I put them in plain old english without any + and -. This is what I found in my writing. Recently I had to write GMAT because I thought I laid out detailed future plans with ambitions. One part of GMAT exam is essay writing. Gosh, I couldn't write it that well though people told me that I could write it all well. All I scored is 4 or 5 out of 6. I wish I have scored 6 out of 6 but I couldn't. The reason for the poor score is, "I am not good at writing".
Move on.
