Massive devastation is what is happening in Uttarakhand
right now. The most religious of places are being washed away by the power of
nature. Or as some of you might want to call it, God’s wrath. Ooooooh. Scary.
According to religious nuts, God is all powerful and blah
blah. So God killed his devotees here in India? God killed his own Earthly self
in the form of temples, shrines, shivlings, etc?
“Oh yes Parvati. I’m
going to create man and then I’m going to make them praise me and then I’m
going to kill them all and kill what they create of me.”
“Sounds like a plan
prabhu. But after that?”
“Woman don’t be asking
too many questions off your man. You have no right to do that. Go get me a
drink and prepare that chillum. Imma gonna get wasted tonightttt! Weeee!”
Is that what you actually think happened? Can’t you for a
moment attribute this to freaky nature? Or better still, to our activities in
those areas which might’ve caused an imbalance in nature? Why do you think it
was us sinners who actually forced the Lord to open his 3rd eye and
4th shirt button and unleash the fury amongst thousands of
innocents? Oh why oh why oh why you tell me la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lies?
BTW, I just got my first Android phone. A Micromax. It’s
pretty decent I must admit. But then I think my next purchase should be an
iPhone. Android is too complex for me. I want simplicity. What say?
Coming back to the topic. In spite of all this mumbo-jumbo, I’d
request you all to help those in need. Go give some clothes or dry ration or
something to any camp organised around your home or office. Too lazy to do it
like me? Get online, which you already are, and donate some money off your account.
One less night out next month is hardly going to change your life. But a 100 of
you thinking the same and donating 500 bucks will surely make a difference up
there where people are struggling for their lives. So just go do it now. Here’s
a start: http://goonj.org/
Also, try and not attribute anything and everything to God.
Don’t stand in front of a train and say if it is in God’s will I will survive.
Don’t blame all bad things on God and neither give God the credit for
everything good that happens to you. “Beta
hua hai bhagwan ki dua se.” It wasn’t God. It was you who did not use a
condom and now we have another kid in the already over-populated country of
ours. If you don’t understand something that’s happening or why it’s happening,
accept it, try and figure it out, don’t simply say it is God’s handiwork and
give up.
So the next time it rains, don’t assume it’s God peeing or a
thunder is God burping and farting. It’s just sweet old nature which wreaks
havoc and causes problems all across the world. Nature is not racist. We are. May
peace be with us.
BREAKING: Apparently, 50 tonnes of wood and ghee arranged
for all those who were deceased in the Uttarakhand disaster. WTH???
