God – a myth or a miracle!!!

Time is ticking and days are rolling, my mind goes through thought process as usual and as always with many topics crossing my mind for blogging, but I never really found time to put together all the thoughts I had about them. Today, I felt like blogging and picked the most debated topic ever.

Existence of God. This is one of the topics in which I have often changed sides. :) Throughout my life with my experience I can never really take a side about his presence. There are reasons to augment to it.

I have been brought in an environment, where I was supposed to believe that there is a God who plans things for everyone in this world and his plans will be executed no matter what we plan or what we try to execute. I was also made to thank god for offering the life that we are leading now and was made to pray to him for better life or things in the future. And I was also thought to believe that if I do bad things, god will punish me, so I must behave in good ways. So being from such an orthodox religious brought up, I never really had a chance to think there is “no god” and it’s everything what you does, decides your life.

During my high school days or college days, I started to hear the argument from the atheist believers that “there is no god and it’s our action that decides our future.” We leave everything to god and never believed in ourselves or in our potentials there by resisting ourselves from achieving great things in life. Then my mind got confused and then there came the thoughts like

• If he is really the creator, why cannot he create people with good thoughts, so that people really don’t need to go through bad experience to learn from the mistakes that they make.
  
• Why he created people with inequalities in the life and lifestyle that they experience
  
• Also why there are quite number of talented peoples who never really got better life style, while there are so many rich people who are not really talented?
  
• Why not everyone is getting the opportunity to prove their talents that they have
  

Questions just kept rising with every day incidents that happened around me (and with every Kamalhassan film, I started to watch :)) and I was left with no answers to them, making me to believe as if there is no god.


As days rolled by and when I moved to corporate days, things looked better. I believed that my good thoughts and actions are yielding me better results. But then came the days, during which I was supposed to believe the factor of luck in the life. I started feeling as if there is no luck for me, in proving my talents or achieving things in the way I wanted to do. Days rolled by and I went through some good times and some bad times, during which I really didn’t had much of involvement with the things happened around me except that I was doing my job. Of course like everyone, I started thinking about god when I went through some bad times in my life.
This time I started believing there is really this creator

• Who gives things to us when we are ready to take it and he plans things or events which mould ourselves to take the things that he offers to us.
• We must just continue to do our job in good ways and he will take care of the rest
  

And I am very much sure, that there will be days in the future that will make to believe in atheism or in god. But over the years of experience, I now firmly believe that performing rituals in the name of god is stupid thing that a human can believe or do. It’s not just by making a business deal with god that we can really make things happen.

I have just given a glimpse of thoughts that crosses my mind when I think about god; I know for sure, there are more points that can be added to both the side.

Well I believe this is one of the topics in which I can never really take a permanent side. :) Catch you with some crisp and interest topic in the future.

Do drop your opinions and try taking a side on this topic. :)

Academy Awards A R Rahman

Congrats A R Rahman on achieving the most deserving award for his talents, This is a moment of pride for every Indians and Indian film makers. This best explains the fact that when we deliver or expose our talents to global audiences, they will be honored definitely. We still hide most of the rare talents (not only in film making but in every other industry) that we inherit and they were never delivered or reached to the global audience. Time is changing and world has started recognizing the best talents that we have.

Few more facts that I would like to quote about A R Rahman, Western world is greatly impressed with the leisure work of talented Rahman (the music for this film was composed on rahmans holiday trip to London) and I was wondering, “how the world is going to react”?, if they are going to hear his most impressive works. I strongly believe that “this is just the beginning and there will be more to be honored for Rahman and the talented Indian film makers”.

I was constantly following the Academy award nominations for the year 2008 and have watched most of the films which were in the nominations under different categories; I was not taken by surprises when Slum dog millionaire took home 8 Academy awards. This film was welcomed in a great way by all the western people.

Well as a viewer who watched last year’s Academy award ceremony, I was not impressed with this year’s award ceremony as the function lacked elegance with the design of such an aesthetic stage giving us a feel of watching a Game show. Host of the show, Hugh Jackman (X-Men star) tried his best to present the most expected award ceremonies in a best way; he and the ceremony team could not succeed in it. Wishing the team best luck for a better show next year.
