I’ll start this post with my favourite quote “ if there is a God atheism must seem to him as less of an insult than religion” the punch line if u have failed to note is “if there is a god” which is a long argued controversy… one of my friend oscillates between extroversion and introversion , when I come to think of it I figured out that I too have a floating mind but only in the case of the God, a mind that oscillates between theism and atheism for which I never managed to find an answer and for which now I ve decided ther cant be a precise explanation and even if ther is an explanation it will be of no importance now, as whoever this God person is seems to have lost interest in the current events, or may be he needs a battery recharge r something(a joke).
Human beings have never believed in anything that they cant understand or wat they cant see with their eyes but still the majority of people are theists atleast partly, when I tried to explain this anomaly to myself i understood that this is because God is a profitable asset as long as people believe ther is some one watching over taking account of everything we do they try to keep their sins to a forgivable amount which finds application in the law and order department especially in a country like India, and of course ther r priests in all religions who earn their everyday bread by washing our sins away and spending time speaking to God …. Our dear nithyananda and a whole lot of their kind will definitely agree with me on profitability of Mr.God.
Human mind works based on mathematics, the decisions it makes are expected by the mind to carry a higher probability of success, the belief of god is also based on a risk benefit factor, consider this two cases in the first case you don’t believe in god and by a chance he is actually out ther somewhere here comes the risk… and in the second case you believe in god u r profited if he s ther and you don’t loose anything if god is a false hypothesis, now our mind works out all the possibilities and decides that the most profitable option is the correct one.
Whichever is correct, I wish we should all with out consideration to our beliefs deserve to be protected from the kind of theists we know who….
Atleast as long as this God person comes in person and corrects his mistakes…

carelessness........
i wrote a post about the latest uproar about saving tigers, which my friends said and i too believe had some good points, the question always rises in my mind wenever i see those adds i wonder wat good can happen for the tigers when a white collared IT professional becomes a member in "save our tigers" campaign, and I had it explained why it is not important to worry abt this issue and even if it is worth the action should be taken in fields not in websites.... thats enough to understand wat i had in my previous post
now let me explain you the connection between the topic "carelessness" and my summary of the previous post, i actually deleted that post by mistake...
sometimes i amaze myself with my carelessness, forgetting keys, locking up my brother inside the house, loosing calculators, etc etc….,
one of my worst experiences is during my 12th standard, 2nd mid term if my memory is right, it is mathematics the subject I despise the most, I wrote that awfully difficult exam with great effort, wrote my name, standard, section all those stupid details required, folded the paper and brought it out with me which should have been submitted. When I realized wat had happened, I was actually happy because I’m the only one who knows that paper I brought outside is nt worth more than 10 marks, and I thought like all those criminals and decided ill deny whatever im asked about the paper.
Asusual my teachers and the invigilator that day and even our principal took special interest in the matter and efficiently traced back the crime and declared me the culprit, and my principle fixed me with his stare, one that FBI wd have given to Osama bin laden.
But ther was a sudden twist in the story, he told my teachers that its not the boy’s fault and it is human nature to escape from a crisis no matter wat the consequences could be.. and they, my teachers and the invigilator of that day should have been more careful and requested them to conduct a re-test for me… and I as usual hid my smile and walked back victoriously ……
I sometimes think too much and decide all theories about genetics and heredity are wrong because no one in my family are as careless as me or may be my carelessness dates back to one of my great great grand father or may be may be .. I am the odd piece in my family tree… or even may be I have developed this carelessness on my own and this will from now on continue to be inherited in the future, even if the last case is correct it still gives me a head ache because if carelessness is a trait and I have developed it now which might be inherited, then being careful should also have been a trait and which obviously is the dominant character in my family as far as my knowledge goes, why haven’t I inherited that?????? Whatever…. Who cares as long as I don’t carry any other papers out of exam halls because next time I may not be lucky enough to get away with it…… …

hero worship
this is something that has been bothering me for quite a long time .... even since my 7 th standard i ve seen my friends quarreling about their favorite heroes ... telling the other one that he will do anything for his hero and he is this boy's role model, at times i wonder what a role model means... i thought it was wat we want to be ... a goal we set ourselves to reach, its like a star that led to jesus something that will keep us going till the very end ... i have my own role models both the positive ones and the negative ones i have the positive ones to learn wat to do and the negative ones also to learn wat not to do... but in any case selecting a cine hero as a role model that i can never do ... i just think they dont have wat it takes to teach us wat to do or even wat not to do, i was nt too aggressive in this thoughts but when i see some of my friends, i wonder hw can any one be so blind and think some one is good, imagine as if he is a real life hero from wat they see in the screens and even to fight their friends for someone most probably they cant even see during their lifetime.
wat bothers me most is many of this heroes are nt talented at all may be they ll perform well if they ever act on a film about "how to act bad" and believe me they might even get an Oscar, i do have my favorites ther is actually nothing wrong in it but i dont worship them and i wont even care to argue in favour of them because i know if im going to get hit by a car which has my favourite hero .. the hero will never rise even a finger to save me.
ther r some talented ones here and ther but why dont people understand, they act, they get ther money, they invest, they live a happy life of course on our cost, and its their business and why dont we take care of ours, its absurd to do anything other than enjoying the movie.
