GOD? NAH!

What have you asked from God this festive season? Oh, I guess you’re the type of person who doesn’t ask anything from god? Well! Now that’s not surprising because I happen to be the sort of person who never asks anything from god either. That is because I don’t believe in god. You can call it blasphemy if you may. Either ways I don’t care. The answer in today’s lingo would probably be “WHATEVER!" There is only one god on this earth and that is children. I know that many have said this before but just saying that the moon is the earth’s only satellite doesn't make it wrong no matter how many times you speak it out loud.


You know what I see in children? It’s the same thing I see in a mountain brook or a young sapling. They’re unpolluted by the world we live in. Its simple, really, and the fact is that they are the only people who speak and think alike. Now think of all the people you know and think of one grown up who can lay claim to this fact? I don’t mean you, of course, you holiness, but all the rest of them are tainted and polluted. We speak of so many things and none but we alone know what lies in our minds. If a child says something then chances are that nine out of ten times he means it. That is also why we fail to understand so many things that children say or do. We start polluting them by just laughing at their mistakes and simplicity. It teaches them that they need to hide whatever mistakes they have committed and to lie so as not to look stupid in front of others. We baby talk them and teach them its disgusting to be a baby and, in turn, they want to do all that we do. Nobody tells them that what we do have also been learnt from our adults who had learnt it from theirs and so on and so back. If only some one were brave enough to face up to this fact and tell them that most of what we do everyday is cheat others and the best cheater wins then we wouldn’t have so many lost souls.



How many teachers are there who haven’t cheated in their own exams or wouldn’t cheat today if given half a chance? How many of today’s parents try and teach their children all that they know are false and won’t follow at the risk of their lives? Yet, we keep telling each other, “Grow up!” or “Become mature.” Why on earth, I would like to ask, should I grow up? To become like the rest of the world, conniving and scheming. Sho shweet, hai na?
