A moment alone

Being a part of college like mine one is left with two choices...either u are part of a group of friends who u eat together, study together and do what not together....or u stay away from the confines of a group and mingle with anyone and everyone u want. I choose the latter option for a simple reason...that being that i am no longer in school anymore. One of the main features of going down the road that i have chosen is that u get to (maybe even forced to) spend time on ur own. I am one of those who doesnt mind spending time alone as i find myself very entertaining. Gosh i wish at times i had a friend like myself....life would have been very ....how do i put it...interesting.

I also have a habit of speaking a lot to myself. Now dont go about calling the nearest mental asylum already...i believe that it is a very common thing nowadays. I do have a lot conversations in my head and with many people who i know and whose reaction i can predetermine... Recently i had this conversation with the Lord our God...excerpts of the conversation are given below:

Me: GOD? u there? God!!!
(no reponse...begining to believe that my earlier stance of being an aethist was quite justified)
Me: GODDDDD!! oh come on...answer me God damnit...U there
God: yep
Me: Phew what took so u long...i was begining to believe that U dont exit
God: I exist in everyone dear...why should u be so circumspect
Me: U mean to say U r in everyone and everything
God: ofcourse...why who do u think i am not in?
Me: er...George Bush..Britney Spears...Andrew Symonds...those dudes who did all those Nithari murders...Dawood Ibrahim...Osam-
God: Ok ok...i got it...there are a few messed up souls down there..I admit..but i am in them too
Me: That seems reassuring....even Britney Spears?
God: even Britney Spears
Me: then why do they keep screwing up...u know..that chic keeps getting hospitalized...i mean she has made it a second home of soughts.
God: U see dear...we all screw up a little...some more some less...u don't think that u gone all through ur short little life without erring have u?
Me: hmmm...true..but when U see we..do u include urself too?
God: Yea sure...why not? I could have made mars and venus a bit more habitable..so that land wouldn't have been so scarce...I dunno...somethign about the name Mars ...sounds way too funny to have that on a postal address...don't u think? And dont let me start on Venus..
Me: For a man knows it all...u do seem a bit weird
God: I am the sum of all virtues my dear..all
Me: So tell me...what does the future hold for the world?...how long do u think will the EARTH last?
God: oh for quite a while...dont worry about that... i do have faith in ur people...i just u all do too
Me: But even then be a bit more precise...gimme a number..a year
God: Ok...5632
Me: really! what will happen then?
God: Can't say for sure...haven't plotted it yet.. but if i may be allowed to venture a guess..i would say a big comet will come visiting
Me: I see..interesting...What will happen to Indo-Pak relations?
God: After 5632? well i would imagine it will go up in smoke..
Me: No..not then..in the next 10 years or so.
God: Oh..like that...Pretty much status quo if u ask me. U c dear this whole Kashmir issue is for votes rather than heritage and the like....and with people like Rahul Gandhi being in the forefront i am quite certain they will not even be sure what on earth are they fighting for...but it is one of those things that will drag on...because for the simple reason that it just has to..
Me: oh ok...what about the Indian economy? How big will it get?
God: Oh very big..very very big..we will be the largest economy some day not so far from now.
Me: Really...u mean in the next 5 years ...6 years
God: oh not that close...i am thinking more like 2220..
Me:jeez that's not even close..that is a century from now..what good is that to me
God: Who ever told u that it was good to u...i see things in 70mm ..a year or two is small change in the grand landscape of the history of the universe
Me: Ok the most important question....what about me?
God: a year or two is small change in the grand landscape of the history of the universe
Me: (gulp) u mean i am history in the next few years...
God: If u dont watch out..but if u do..things will move on very smoothly...
Me: oh i c..so what do u think will happen to the Ambani brothers..who will be richer?
God: The Ambani's will both do very well if u ask me... there will be an event which will bring them together and they will merge the demerged and create even greater value for all...not excluding themsleves...
Me: ok need to make a mental note of that...Buy reliance shares pronto...and what abt Tata Steel...how big will that get..will it touch Rs 1000/ share any time soon...
God: Now wait a minute u smart alec..i am not ur stock broker..figure those things out on ur own..

...And so went our conversations...We went talking about religion, politics, movies, girls and so on...a very enlightning experience i must admit...always nice to hear from aperson who can see tomorrow.
