Mysteries of the unexplained series

If the cycle of reincarnation were true, why is it that dinosaurs are extinct today?

Holy Pick

I was all alone in my room when I was frightened by a tall figure covered in white bedsheet,who appeared from nowhere in my room.He stood there as a real person across the room picking his nose.I was supposed to assume it was Jesus.A divine message was rolling at the bottom of my view which said
"Holy people too are allowed to pick their noses"
He seemed to tell me to go preach this good news to the world.
Initially I was reluctant for I did not think it was a profound message.
On second thought I put it on my blog. Who knows somebody like you might benefit.

VEG OR NON-VEG?

Turing Test on God

My last prayer was more of a Turing Test. God did not pass it! I never prayed after that. The ball is now in God's court. I have my reasons.
If Gods and gurus who know absolute truths can send their messengers along with mathematical models or theories which can be time tested for their accuracy by a progressing science, It would have been easier for us to have faiths. I wouldnt have minded having some faith when they perform miracles and preach some love and breathing exercises. But they do the easier stuffs!

Osama negotiates with Pope

Pope Benedict XVI : Why are you a terrorist? Do you have a reason?
Osama bin laden : I am just being religious as you!
Pope Benedict XVI : Child, Let me cast out the demon in you.
Osama bin laden : Oh you arrogant birth and of little faith, let me first.
Pope Benedict XVI : Let me see what America can do about you.

Scientifically Religious!

If the existence of God can neither be proved nor disproved, so is the belief that the earth was created by flying hippopotamuses receding away from us at the speed of light.

A Conversation with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Neo : Ravishankarji, I have this doubt. Are you secular?
Ravishankar: Yes I am secular.I treat all religions equally.
Neo: But,why did you take up promotion of Hinduism?
Ravishankar: I do promote hinduism but that does not mean i am not secular.Secular only means understanding that other ideologies can exist which are perceived as better by others.
Neo: Does secular have anything to do with scientific thinking?
Ravishankar: No
Neo: Let us take for example some people say Ram-Setu was built by Ram.And some others say it was made by natural causes. Would you support the scientific angle or the religious angle?
Ravishankar: I would say I do not know.
Neo: How about reincarnation? Are you sure about it or you think it is more probable a theory through your meditation experiments?
Ravishankar: Yes for me it is more probable and therefore I propagate it.
Neo: Probability against blind beliefs is your point.Is that right?Would you propagate it as The truth or a more probable theory?
Ravishankar: I must go now.nice talking to you.

Cultural Nationalism

We one,ours one

The girl says .. give me a break?
The man does not budge till they have a break.

The girl uses the opportunity to become a mother.She recognizes the beauty and the need for motherhood as something that comes at an opportune time.
The man cursing the damned brand starts reconciling with those moments of complacency, and going through trauma for another 8 months ,grudgingly declares himself a dad.

To hide the shame they act out a very emotional drama calling themselves happy and what not!This is the story of every dad and mom in the country.

We are all products of this break.
Sweetly admonished by the govt, they go on...
Who knew the secret of the number of mistakes?
It is called "We one,ours one"

Chacha Abdul

Last year around this time ,I was sitting in my bakery.It was raining heavily.I was getting nostalgic about my dreams that did not come true. I was thinking of doing some justice to my degree in telecommnication engineering. I thought i will e-mail a hi to president Kalam. To my astonishment, I got a reply the next minute. I knew he too thinks like an engineer (or scientist probably). I mailed him about how my kids are taking special tuitions at the school to talk to the president. They are also taught stories such as how when they were babies they were passionate about designing the airframe structure of a Boeing.
My children are very fond of him. They want to celeberate Nov 15th as ignited children's day.
