God must be an Indian

Americans get their kicks from six flags parks and its vertical drop roller-coasters in the comfort of the knowledge that their restraints and the security devices will hold them.  Ah! Then there is bungee jumping and parachuting down a stunt aircraft, of course there is also eating raw meats and scuba diving with the sharks, ya what’s up with that?

Well ain’t we lucky we get kicked day in day out even if we didn’t feel like it, all one has to do is be an Indian! I strongly feel that we Indians are never more than 6 feet from god both horizontally and vertically! You may ask why not 5 or 7 feet, why only 6 and all I will say in my zen is stronger than yours and it seemed like a good even number.

Any way I get distracted easily, our adventures come in all shapes and sizes and most have differing number of wheels. My favorite ones are the ones that have three wheels; they have the most potent capability to bring you closer to god. Potholes, speed-breakers, traffic rules, traffic and passenger’s life are all thrown to the winds.  If you go by the theory that it is our belief that gives god his power then you can guess the strength a billion people remembering, thanking god after safely alighting out of the ubiquitous tripod.

God probably runs a 24x7x365 operation to keep the wheels on our country running, he probably cloned himself 330 Million times to handle our population but we beat him alright … who’s your daddy now eh? The near clockwork misses between life and death is proof of the operations. The question that arises is, are these operations efficient, I mean what if god too was as fallible as er … an Indian? I know it sounds blasphemous, I am spiritual and all that but just may be he/she is fallible … but on the other hand the fact that this country runs is proof positive that he exists and is trying!

Freakishly crazy storm his US and couple of people end up dead while we lose more than 10 times that cause some driver was driving a rickety bus at 41kph instead of 40! It does seem that god is unable to keep up with protecting all our population or probably he’s just found a more efficient way to do away with the lot … get them on a bus! Of course it’s also possible and more likely that only with divine grace did the bus run all this time in the first place with all the bad quality manufacturing, parts and lack of maintenance that we live with.

Look at the mess we create for ourselves, CWG! Need I say more? Not only do we tolerate a shoddy job and listen to really stupid excuses and irresponsible comments but we actually expect that our super corrupt politicians & babus will be put to shame and resign just because of some newspaper reports! Gods probably trying to make things as bad as he can for us to force us out of our stupor without hurting us too much so all he is doing is flood Yamuna (I never thought it ever did after Dwapara yuga!), spread dengue… etc.. but not actually make us select the couple that will go on the arc….

We all have heard the story where a drowning man refuses to be rescued by a log, a makeshift barge and a boat saying god will save him, and after he dies god tells him, “what else did you want … sent u a log, a barge and even a boat”…..I guess that’s us!
