WHAT HAVE I BEEN SMOKING??


In a church, when I don’t press my palms together and pretend to pray like everyone else, but just stare at that poor man hung on a cross drenched in his own blood and pain.

Father: what do u look at, so intensely child?
Me: I wonder father.
Father: what do you ponder on?
Me: whom do I pray for? Me or this man hung up here?
Father: He doesn't need prayers; He is the one who answers our prayers. He is the son of God.
Me: hahhaha father do you really believe that? Look at him!!!! What have you been smoking? hahhaha
Father: (smiles) you are not a Christian are you?
Me: how is that any different from me being a Christian? 
Father: what is your religion, child?
Me: no. religion doesn't belong to me.
Father: oh! So you’re the atheist types 
Me: oh no, I have faith, I have a lot of faith
Father: in what?
Me: in me, in my God. Well he is actually not just mine, just that when he is with me he is all mine. I talk to him every day, you know!
Father: (not quite following me) so how does this God of yours look like.
Me: I don’t know.
Father: (peering at me with a question mark expression)
Me: well, you see for some reason he always walks behind me, and he once told me ‘never look back my friend’, so I don’t know what he looks like but I know what he sounds like.
Father: how does he sound?? (Curiously)
Me: a bit like my mum, I bit like my dad, a bit like myself and a bit like my cat and sometimes he sounds like the birds in the woods. Makes me think he is a very efficient mimicry artist. I complimented him once too, but he just laughed it off.
Father: my child, what have YOU been smoking?
Me: my soul ….it burns every day father…every single moment I live, I smoke it.

P.S- no offense to all the catholic friends. MERRY X’MAS

'creative brain and abstract person'

Image
Image via Wikipedia 'creative brain and abstract person' is the compliment i received from a friend on orkut. This is not the first time I have received this compliment, but it is the first time it has angered me. Previously I use to like it when people called me creative, it use to flatter me, in my mind I would say "wow man! that's great people think I am creative they think am smart , I must be at a higher level than the others". But today it just annoyed me, 'creative'.. bullshit, either they are saying it cause they want me to appreciate their work too, or they are just being polite, i don't know. Sometimes I feel like a total screw up, I don't have the street smartness or the skills of playing politics and manipulating things, I am utterly lazy and awkwardly shy, how am i ever gonna sustain in this media industry tat i haven't even entered yet? I know what an utter moron I am, people never see that(if hiding tat flaw is creativity then ...

love is air

Image
one of my friend was asked "what is true love to you?", he said "its a waste of time and money". one "yes" followed this remark. Of course they were both hurt in love, and drunk at that time. But seriously what is love? If I were asked the same question, I would say"love is like air" (not love is in the air that's a different phrase , i hope u know). It has different elements and compositions like air. It has different forms like air, and just like air you can never see it but feel it. It is as limitless and free as air. I personally hate the words 'boyfriend and girlfriend' sounds too lame, typical and possessive to me. All you can do is breath love, feel it, enjoy it and then let it pass through you making space for the next. Ever heard of air to be in one place forever?? no right!! then don't review the entire show of LIFE on the basis of just one episode. love one and love all. Be happy people.

ambitions or craziness

graduating from college gives you weird feelings you are happy tat finally you have graduated and no more exams , sleepless nights spent over assignments and projects and at the same time no more daily hangout wid friends either. but that's still something very common. i went and collected my final year mark sheet yesterday . somehow i was not excited to see it, I was not excited to know my result. I knew i wud pass, n i did, may be tats y i don't feel the excitement . what i had always worried abt is making this education worth all the money i paid for it. but here i am having second thoughts about changing fields , that wud include another 3-4 yrs of college education and 4-5 lakhs of rupees, neither of which i am willing to spend. worst is i don't noe which field to get into if i actually do change. this has always been a problem for me since i was school kid. y cant i fix my mind to one thing? i have been accused of being unstable all my life. honestly,...
