My 'GOD' & 'Me'

GOD : Of late I don't find you coming to the temple.. Me : Cutting through the over crowded bazaars,..jumping all those pot holes on the roads,.. trying to navigate through a chaotically managed mad traffic, & inhaling the suffocating stench of urine & garbage pile-ups,...the walk to the 'temple' is becoming more of an ordeal than a 'shrdha'. As though this is not enough...the absence of street lights in the evenings & the local hooligans free play all around ..it is ... literally making my trip to the temple a nightmare. I have therefore stopped going to the temples. GOD : Nightmare ..!and ..for you !...I don't believe it..looks like you have got everything you wanted.. and so you think you don't need me any more. Me : How can you say that?.You are my only HOPE. GOD : Don't give me that humble talk..you know & I know .... you are virtually the power that stalk the length & breadth of this country.

I just realized as I read the week's News head line that said...."BARACK OBAMA clinches Democrats nomination for the 'White House'. Barack Obma, an African American and visibly a total stranger to power politics of Washington....to have come this far is a sort of live endorsement to the Book "The Magic of Thinking Big".. At the time of 9/11 Obama was told his name would probably finish his political career since Obama sounded too similar to Osama...and here he is today on...
