Where is GOD?


Thats not a question meant for atheists.Its a question which everyone of us has asked himself when we have found ourselves in trouble even after having the best of intentions .It also comes to our mind if we are selfless and observant enough to look the unexplained suffering around us.Different religion have described God in different ways but the basic definition tells us that he is the creator of all,the master of all powers and is responsible for everything that happens.As a matter of fact i have always believed that if there is any God ,he is too powerful and complete in himself to exist in different forms as explained by different religions.If he is so powerful and just ,why does he allow a child who is born in a remote village in Africa die of hunger while at the same time somewhere in America, food worthy enough to feed ten such children is being washed down by another child. In the same context I remember this Christmas incidence...
I had gone to a shopping mall just to catch on the Christmas sales going on there.It was then that i saw a man dressed as Santa Claus distributing gifts to the children around him.It was then that i perhaps saw a clear image of discrimination that even God does.While the person was throwing gifts to the children from affluent families,a guard stood by whose job was to keep away the children from slums who had arrived with a bleak hope of getting something from Santa Claus.I think when believers in God says" money can't buy everything" and"its all due to previous births",they are just trying to ignore the injustice done.Why does a man who has spent his entire life helping people gets run over by a truck while a murderer turned politician spends his days in comfort inside the government quarters?
Perhaps there are no answers to all the whys that i have put here but to be frank ,even i have felt the existence of a positive energy around in this world and its not when i have been to a famous temple or shrine.It is when I see and read about people like Mother Teresa,Mahatma Gandhi,Martin Luther who brought justice ,freedom and smiles to all around them.Its when i see hope in the eyes of people for whom there is no use of hoping.God probably exists as the good part in us because its that part that is capable of saving that child in Africa from dying,that part which can play a good Santa Claus when given the chance and that part which can support the good and fight the bad.We all in a way have the capacity of becoming the God .

Why am i blogging???


Well from quite some time i have been hearing of celebrities and business honchos promoting their products/films/companies through their so called space on the web"Blog".But i was not able to find anything to promote(except myself which is in great need of promotion) and i felt that even if i did, it won't have the slightest of effect on anyone's opinion.So this was what kept me away from this space for long.But thanks to some of my friends(Rahul,Ashish) and Amit(my future senior colleague) ,i found some reasons to start with it.
Well i have seen many movies(English,Hindi,1French,2 Japanese,a dozen of Bengali) and given many speeches(mostly boring ones)as the Prez of the Tech club of my college.But somehow i am still waiting for the best movie and the still have not been able to deliver my best speech.The reason for this is only that while u read or write u expect things to happen and in some manner or the other ur thoughts come in alignment with that of the Author/Director.Perhaps this is a necessary condition to enjoy the writing/film.And while u speak u do so according to the expectation of the audience and on the relevant areas.In all of the the things that we do to keep ourselves busy...writing seems to be most expressive to me.That is why i have decided to pen down certain thoughts and views that i have assumed while thinking uselessly(my fav passtime).
Keeping in harmony with the name of the Blog every post will start with a simple question and end with an Intriguing answer.i hope u put in ur reactions(even if they are negative)
