Oh my DOG..!!!!

The title of this post may have painted the wrong picture. Although it does reinforce the fact that i'm still an athiest. Anyway, that's not what this is about. It's about the fact that women are absolutely right when they say that all men are the same. Yes, of course they are. Because they are normal. And every woman is unique in her own surreal way.

After the tragedy that struck the city around 48 hours back; a travesty struck my home 24 hours ago. It happened when my mom brought up the issue of the terrorist attack and tried to establish a link between the event and the fact that a dog was crying the night before it. I don't know why he was crying, may be he lost his bone, or may be the one he was in love with had refused an offer to smell him. Anyway, i've always been at loggerheads with my mom about superstitions as they don't get along well with the concept of logic.

The poor thing was probably crying over the other serious issues i mentioned earlier, while he was being blamed for bringing in the bad luck that sealed the fate of many. My mom was pretty adamant on her opinion, as women are known for not being able to be budged. At one point of time i was trying to figure out what would've been easier- shutting up the dog, or shutting up my mom. And what i'm having trouble understanding is that if other people, like my mom, are smart enough to tell apart a dog's howling from HIMESH RESHAMIYA'S singing, then why are they dumb enough to blame superstitions for the evil around them. And then they go ahead and give the credit of their success to 'GOD', 'THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA' or 'THE MAN UPSTAIRS'.


I'll tell you what, there is no man upstairs. At least not for me, i live on the top floor of my building. But the point is, that GOD is equivalent to 'NOTHING'. This means that people are devoted to 'NOTHING'. So inadvertently, we use phrases like "may NOTHING bless you", "NOTHING is by your side", "we are the creation of NOTHING", "NOTHING is everywhere" etc.

But i also know that i myself am an anagram of GOD; i'm GOD spelled backwards. I know that whatever i've rambled on will not change a single person's perception. So yes, that's correct, i am a dog. As i have been barking up the wrong tree.....

  2. Remember..remember the 26th of November...

    Boy you're not barking up the wrong tree.

    Its about what you feel about something. Its your opinion and society must respect it...and vice versa my friend

    God maybe there for some...while for us athiests it may never exist...but whats important is...We respect each other's opinions and beliefs.
