LIVING GODS

'GOD' is the word used extensively as a part of faith, belief, and trust in most of the Indian population. This always sends a wave of 'BHAKTI' to many, a ray of hope to hand some, a concrete of faith and trust to few and tremor of fear to least (this is the present scenario). Its the usual Indian family arena, to inculcate the habit of performing basic rituals to GOD and make the child know the existence of 'GOD' in this world, until it gains its own senses to finally ask its elders 'where is GOD?'. This puts the parents and elders in dilemma so as to prove, the child, about the existence of, so called myth (to the child till it gets the answer) 'GOD'.

According to me there can be NO better replacement to GOD other than ones PARENTS' which can end the journey to find answer to the previously laid question 'where is GOD?'.

From the day I have gained my senses (probably at an age of 6yrs???) and known about my existence on this planet till my teenage, I blindly did whatever my parents insisted me upon. I was a very sincere, shy and honest child (according to the feedback from teachers and well-wishers..others strictly ruled out) which of course was the quality imbibed in me by my parents. The violation to all these qualities comes when you land in a fairyland called as 'TEENAGE'. One tries to get detached from all the characters stuck to his/her image and take a command over the actions. But, I feel a ripple of pleasure to tell that I showed a perseverance against such changes in my qualities. Now, looking back in 25 years of my age, I feel satisfied to have overcome such violations which then couldn't have had quenched me of my thirst to find the answer to the question 'where is GOD?'

Friends, I refer every parents as GODS, as they are the one who give everything to you when you are in utmost need of, unquestionably and unreasonably. They are the one who don't show a single bead of selfishness to you at anytime. They rest their entire life in your well being and what not. There's hardly a time when they cannot think about you. When you were a child they sold off their sleep to you, so that you could rest in their arms and enjoy their warmth. They felt the pain when you shed tears on whatever may be the situation. They themselves found sick when you laid sick on bed. They were twin fold happier when you had smile on your face. It was they who had a profound proud feeling, than anyone else could, as they walked down the streets, when you had achieved something which you found was important. They know exactly what and when you need. They perfectly can sense your likes and dislikes. They are the back bone of your success. Whatever we are now its only because of them.

We go to temples and else where in search of GOD, perform rituals to satisfy the unknown figure 'GOD'. Remember, even GOD thinks twice before giving a VARA to you after having performed a serious devotional act. But its your parents who give away everything before you ask them. We usually tend to forget their sacrifices and to render our sincere heartfelt 'NAMASKAARAAS' to them who have made you capable enough to face this pragmatic world. At the peak of our achievements we often forget to give at least a note to them about their importance in our life . I feel good, that at least I don't do that. At every instance I make them remember about their importance in my life.

Be it whatever, I name them as 'LIVING GODS' in my life.



I LOVE YOU 'PAPA AND MAMMA',.. (i call them pappa n memmeeeeee...... muah!!!)
