The Verdict and The Learning Curve

It took me 24 months to learn and accept the term called 'Sharing'.
My mom thought I was a slow learner. I told her today, our country took 60 years and is still under the process. She says, "you are still a slow learner, its been 10 years since the first time I introduced you to the term called Politics".

DIRTY CONFESSION

How much you brooded inside
How much you bled


Your only demand was to be treated equally
Your only demand was to be heard


Your only demands were so silent
That your own conscious wept inside you
The weeping was loud yet unheard
And the demands un-granted


Once in a while
Came through a translator
He conveyed your feelings
He conveyed your pain


He was unheard or caved in the prison
Abolished from the herd
He fought for you
Or his conscious


But you never rose for yourself
The half of you is still waiting to be rescued
Waiting to be guided
Waiting to be lead


You ask the lord when will it end
Or will it ever
I pray to the same lord everyday
To make it over


Then I go behind the idol
Whisper secretly in his ears
That the day you listen to my first wish
Also grant me one other


I don’t want to see that day alive
I don’t want to be the one deprived
As the era of male domination will end
A peaceful yet brutal revenge it will send


Am I a male chauvinist?
Yes I am I behest
But it’s better than being
The dead descendent of a powerful sect

ATHEIST

ticha attahas chaluch rahila...mag mi pan ticha ikla. kadhi kadhi argue karnyapeksha soppa mhanun apan ekhadi goshta karto na taasch kahisa. aarti susru zali, sagle jan prasanna chehra karun, chan poshakh karun hasrya mudreni talya vajavat hote, jyana arti yet hoti te mhanat pan hote. maza chehra thodasa udas vatla malach, mag ajubajuchyansathi mi to thoda hasra kela. kes thode avarle. haslo sudha thoda. ani actually mala thoda bara vatla. tya purna divsat prasanna asa hasat pahilyandach hoto me. udbatticha sugandh saglikade pasarala hota. lok agadi tallin houn aarti karat hote. me pan thodasa tyanchasarkha honyacha prayatna kela.

isnt the reason for the worship of god actually to makeus happy? to make us feel safe.....why does one need parents for....to be cared by, to be looked after by, to be papmered by. the same reason for the existence of god. man cannot enitrely rely on himself or others of his kind to decide whats right and whats not. the eternal questions that try to find the reason of our existence can not be entirely answered by the mortal species themselves. and hence we need an entity who we can rely upon. who is more powerfull and is not one of us. and hence we worship the god. we invent an entity who we now beleive has a hand in the making of us. and has enough powers to save us from any dangers that may come. and we worship him for making ourselves happy.

the reason for rememebering god has two purposes. to revive the faith and to share the feeling of being taken care of. the sense of safety. but it also accomplishes a hidden purpose, of making people feel happy about life. to make them fel happy about everything and nothing. and it succeeds. atleast it did with me.

check out a baby who has recently learned to bow in front of the almighty. gauge the expressions on his face, they are of happiness. the happiness is not due to the sense of being able tothank the god, but its just about acheiving a new task. a task that can be nothing more or less t pronouncing a forbidden word over and over again and catch all the exciting reactions of the elders. its all about that reward, the reactions from his elders. and for th elders its the satisfaction of teaching him something that their parents have tought them. something that the kid needs to learn.
