Thoughts of an Eccentric Guy

Theology and Science are two completely opposite Realms. One depends on beliefs, fear and trust to explain the Universe and its mysteries. While the other uses principles, methods and proofs to do the same. In fact, they can be viewed as two sides of the same coin. Things which could be explained logically with proofs came under Science. Theology, on the other hand, explains everything else in the Cosmic Universe. A common man has a healthy respect for both Theology and Science. Though, some may not bow to the thought of God, they do agree that a Higher Power exists which keeps the Universe running. It is inbred and thus, unavoidable. A person however scientific will have some part of his believing in Theology and every priest, however, orthodox would surely have to bow to the principles of Science in daily life. Theology is a frame of thought which is based upon belief and faith, while Science is based on principles, proofs and methods. Theology makes one humble; Scienc...

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ? Student : Yes, sir. Professor: So, you believe in GOD ? Student : Absolutely, sir. Professor : Is GOD good ? Student : Sure. Professor: Is GOD all powerful ? Student : Yes. Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm? (Student was silent.) Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good? Student : Yes. Professor: Is satan good ? Student : No. Professor: Where does satan come from ? Student : From … GOD … Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student : Yes. Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct? Student : Yes. Professor: So who created evil ? (Student did not answer.) Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exis...

Long long ago (no! this isn't a fictitious story!!!), when I was in my sixth grade in Navy Children School, Visakhapatnam,  there was an incident that I am never gonna forget. Instead I wanna share it with you all. As with every good school, NCS also had a School Magazine. And that year it had been named "Footsteps". I remember it well, because it had one of my best articles ever. My class teacher Mrs. Krishna Kumari Mam gave us a few topics and asked each and every one to write a few lines on each of them and submit. One of these topics was "If god grants you three wishes, what would you wish for." Other than this I had written on three other topics and though all of them were published in the magazine, this has always been my favorite. Reason is: I actually started thinking philosophical from this article onward. The article was very short and the boons I listed are as follows: All kinds of Magical Powers Eternal Life (Immortality) ...

Love.... A feeling that can not be explained... A thrill that can only be experienced... Reading hundreds of novels and stories.... Watching number of movies... And listening to maddeningly romantic songs.... Everything contributed to my impression of that great feeling called "LOVE"!!! But it also caused me to feel bitter as I did not have any lover.... Unfortunately, a fairly common sight nowadays is a girl and a boy enjoying themselves oblivious to everyone around. And the most obvious conclusion: they are lovers!!! And in these couples, I always checked out the guy first. Not because I was interested in him (I am not gay, fellas!!!), but because I wanted to see, what was in that guy, which I do not have... But in the few minutes it took for them to pass me, I could not find anything even remotely attractive in most couples, I saw... (Of course, I thought rather much of myself at those times...) And once they passed me, I would turn back and look at the ...

"On the floor a child is sitting on a carpet and his cries echo all through the house. His mom tries a hundred and one ways as do every mother. But as it happens with every other household, the baby does not stop his wailing. The Dad comes in and even he tries as many ways as he can including scolding the poor little guy. But what to do... The baby does not understand nor does he care." Till now the incident that I have described is an incident that has happened or will happen and might still be happening in most of the houses... (I fear saying all cause there will be exceptions to every hypothesis...!!!!) But that which follows happened in my home (in fact with me!) : "The mother, as if struck by a brainwave, took out a comic book from a nearby book case and showed it to the sobbing kid. The crying came to an abrupt stop. The little kid took that book and  tore all the pages   in an attempt to touch all the pictures in the silly book (The video is just a simi...

"Mummy, mummy, may I go for Cricket???" These were the words uttered by Ravi, the only son in an Indian Middle Class Family, a tenth class student. His Mom replied, "What? Again Cricket!!! You were playing cricket the whole of morning. Even yesterday, you played the whole day. Isn't that enough???" As if all the elements were against him today, his Dad enters the room at the same time. He looks at Ravi and says, "Look, son! Your 10th class is a most important milestone in your life. If you clear your 10th with flying colors, your life is as good as settled. So just work hard for these exams and after the exams you can enjoy as much as you want!!" On hearing his father explaining to him in such comforting and soothing words, Ravi feels the importance of his studies and studies hard for his 10th... To his credit, he clears his 10th with such a high score that he can be counted among the best students in his school. I am sure, most of us have gone...
