Face 2 Face with God.

Long hours of staring at the laptop screen looking at the black and white code which resembles my colorless life, marching close towards developing asthenopia or already developed only God knows. Eyes almost closed, my head about to fall on the table when suddenly heard a voice…

God: Beta !
Me : Papa!

God: Main tumhara baap nai hun.. Open your eyes son. Main sab ka baap hun!!
Me: Amitabh???

God: No No! Bollywood ke duniya se bhar aao. I’m GOD!
Me: What the F…

God: No slang, you are in front of God.
Me: Oops, sorry. Which god? I mean Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh or some other Foreigner God like Jesus.. o o oh.. I don’t remember any other foreign god’s name. Sorry Again.

God: Plzz.. Now you can go back to bollywood. “Bhagwan ek hai- we identify them with different names”.
Me: ok ok. So why are you here? Do you want me to construct some temples/mosques/churches ?

God: No No.
Me: Then anything important? One second I always have a short prayer after bath – in case you don’t know.

God: I know that. It’s just a regular visit. If you need any help. I try to cover most of the people whenever I get free time, today is your turn.
Me: Ok so you often visit people.

God: Only on free time.
Me: Oh ok. So you are also busy?? Gr8.

God: Yes. It’s same like a job of an IT professional – No Work /Very Busy.
Me: And what about Job satisfaction.

God: Please let’s not go in to this.
Me (To myself): He also has a job problem probably came down to look for one, but why me , he should have contacted HR peoples.

God: Hello!!
Me: Yes yes. So tell me what you want from me?

God: That’s the question I must be asking you.
Me: Ok. Happiness and good health for my family.

To Myself: What was that? I could have asked for million dollars ..y y millions.. Uncle Scruz Bank infact or some hot blonde gal as my Gf and some sundar, sushil and wealthy Wife. CEO of some big multi-national company, anything I could have asked for. Any ways chance gone.

God: Gud. I’m very happy that you care so much about your family.
To Myself: That was a mistake dude..sorry god!!.

God: Anything else you would like me to do.
Me: It struck me, Wait a sec. so you came here for something special and you know that’s missing in my life.

God: No no, it’s not like that!!
Me: Come on!! If you know what’s missing then why you want to hear it from my mouth. Ok so you want to embarrass me. So let do it your ways.

God: It’s not like that, I don’t want to hurt or embarrass you, it’s just my routine question, I ask it to everyone after my first question.
Me: Hmm. Actually I have lot’s of questions/things, the list is long can I mail you if you have a mailing address ?

God: No son. No service provider above.
Me: Ok. No probs. Rite now I need sleep, I’m very tired.
There it goes screwed my second chance also.

God: As you wish son. Good Night!!
Me: wait wait.. how can I get in touch with you? Or if I need your help.

God: No need. I’ll be in touch with you and I’m always there to help you- that’s service comes as default and free.
Me: Great. Bbye!!

No reply!! He has already gone.
Few minutes later I slept and snored heavily.

I was cursing myself when I got up in the morning that I screwed up an opportunity to be rich, famous, and renowned. Disappointment precludes me from getting up from the bed, so I thought of contemplating more on the purpose of his visit.
Long thoughts long discussion with me, brain cells fighting within my head for the righteous answer none succeeding though.

Finally concluded that the sole purpose of GOD visiting me was to make sure that I don’t loose faith in him or probably he may have seen that i am on the path of destroying it, although I was not converted to atheists or he may have thought I would have converted to one in near future. May be any of these reasons.

It was a message - do any thing you undertake with pure heart and commitment not too concerned about the outcome, he will always be there beside you taking care of all the issues and fighting along side you in overcoming all the hindrances coming your way.

Just go full throttle!! God hai na. !!

This post should be taken in the best of the spirit, in no ways I’m hurting anyone religious feelings/beliefs or mocking God. My earnest apologies in advance just in case.

Johnny met Sonny :)

Saturday evening , scheduled to meet at CCD, ‘Date’ Ya Ya , call it a date. He was looking at his watch, waiting for ‘Sonny’, was before time and that too half n hour early, ‘that’s bad’ he said to himself, as it shows desperation n gals don’t like desperate guys. Excuses are needed to give Sonny for coming early. His mind started recalling all the Bollywood excuses, he decided whatever he picks from those list it should be terse. Hmm..better to say that “5 min phele hee ayaa hun”. Ya that’s better..’Terrific Johnny’ , he said to himself.

But what to do now, he swept a look covering every corner of the CCD , people yacking at every table, no one sitting idle and alone, suddenly a thought hit him “What if any of his frnd see him there sitting all alone”, although none of his frnd will ever come to CCD on Saturday evening that’s the time to booze at pub. “Forget it” he said to himself , will see when it comes.

He had waited long to meet her, weeks of messaging and talking on phone late nights, spoiling his sleep, all these crap things he thought, had brought him to this moment, this brought a smile(crooked one) on his face . Never seen her before , so decided on a dress code which would be helpful in recognizing each other. The lyrics of the song from the movie “MDK” was flowing in his head . “Andheki anjanai si, pagli si deewani si, na jane kaise hogi woh”. Sonny’s voice was all charming, sexy and glittering , from that he framed a image of her in his mind/heart, though voice and looks have no synergy, but that’s the way one’s imagination defines and relate things.

All of a sudden his Nokia N72 started making noise, disturbing his thought process, it was her, he picked it up, “I’m there, Where r u ?” she said, “Inside , corner table” he said , as his heart started pounding heavily. She walked inside the CCD passing all the tables and fast approaching him, he raised his hand and his eyes scanning her as if looking for bugs in her, “She is hot and certainly beddable!!!”(courtesy –Company of women), Aaah!! That’s the problem of reading Khushwant Singh (No offense ).

Sonny: Hi!
Johnny: Hello!

Sonny: “Sorry I was late”.
Johnny: “Na na, I’m early , you are on time”. What was that ? I never saw that coming, minutes before I was looking for excuses and here I am admitting.

He was still staring at her, as she was going thru the Menu. “I hate this silence” he said. Someone should initiate to get out of it. What to say????

Sonny : “Let’s order something , I’m hungry ”.
Johnny: Gr8 she broke the ice, gals and eating are Synonyms I guess. “Ya please go ahead ”.

Sonny : One Chicken Sandwich with cheese , one French fries and one ice lemon tea.
Johnny: God I guess she ordered for both of us.

Sonny: “Yeh Johnny”. What for u man.?
Johnny: Only ice lemon tea. Why “only” in that statement, that’s for sarcasm , he giggled.

Sonny: Actually I skipped my lunch , was busy with something.
Johnny: It’s fine Yaar. “Busy” in what? It came out of my mouth, the very thought of its consequences chilled my blood, b’coz this mark the entry of unrelated , uninterested bulk of nonsense hitting my ears shortly of which I was least bothered.

Sonny: Nothing of that importance, just routine weekend stuff.
Johnny: That’s it, I thought. She suddenly took me off the hook. I was happy. “So..” before I could complete my sentence -her phone started ringing.

Sonny : Sorry, Excuse me.
Johnny: Hmm!! That will give me some time now to glare at her and reformulate myself. She was beautiful, minimal make up, no jazzy jewels. Simple yet appealing in her Blue jeans and white T-shirt. She was laughing ,that made me angry who was on other side, that reminded me of the late night talks where I made her laugh. Finally She hung up. I was about to Ask “Who was it”.

Sonny: It was bro. U were saying something.
Johnny: Ya, I forgot.

Sonny: What?
Johnny: Actually the throw of u r beauty are killing my brain cells and my senses. “Bravo Johnny” that’s the way.

Sonny: She started smiling. "U r too much" she said

And that was just the beginning of long awaited love for both of them, lot’s of such meeting that marked the era of new phase in life for them. The ‘Lust’ of the first date with Sonny was converted into everlasting ‘Love’ for Johnny.

They still meet and talk on phone late nights but it’s not the talk or words which connects them. Basically Words define Us but Love connects Us.
