May his soul RIP

January 11, 2006

I had sent one of my stories, “Did it rain…” to blogchaat and they have accepted my entry…do check the site out πŸ™‚

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was once chatting wit a gal from USA.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Me:Hi
Her:hii
Me:A/s/l??(age/sex/location)
Her:18/f/Virginia u??
Me:19/m/India
Her:India??????
Me: Yeah..y??
Her:I just love India
Me:Oh..tas so nice
Her: I have two friends who are Indian
Me: good…so wassup??
Her: Are you a hindu?
Me: Yes I am.
Her: Do u mind if I ask u somethin?
Me:nope..go ahead…
Her: Err…you have lotsa Gods rite?
Me: lotsa Gods?
Her: I have seen in my friends house…they worship lots of Gods and some of them are animals in fact…why do u worship them?
Me: who…the Gods or the animals?
Her: The animals…y do u worship animals ?? πŸ™‚
(The answer was like a response to stimuli…I don even know if its true or not)
Me:Hmm…ppl then were like barbarians..they used to kill any animal for food…
Her:Then?
Me:In the olden ages..n they vr illiterates..so it was not an easy task to convince them about such stuff..so the priests told them that each animal is a God and strung together a story to convince them that they should not kill all animals πŸ™‚
Her: like?
Me:for instance, we worship the cow. we call her kamadhenu..in fact we even hold festivals for Her and pray for our welfare. we have lotsa stories
Her: like fables?
Me: Yeah like fables…epics,etc…wat about u?
Her:I am a good natured Christian.
Me: πŸ™‚
Her: I visit the church every sunday..a good goody gal πŸ™‚
Me: oh yeah?
Her: πŸ™‚ …U know wat the priest was telling us during our previous Mass..??
Me:wat?
Her: He told us abt our president
Me:oh bush?
Her: yeah…hes done so much for us…u know wat, hes gonna save the world from doom..for instance 9/11..wat all good he has done…
Me:hmm..
Her: Ii will b eligible for voting durin the coming elections and I am gonna vote for him..wat do u think??
Me: Dunno much abt US politics…so cant say much πŸ˜‰
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“Like it or not, faith in the Apocalypse is a powerful driving force in modern American politics. In the 2000 election, the Christian right cast at least 15 million votes, or about 30 percent of those that propelled Bush into the presidency. And there’s no doubt that arch-conservative Christians will be just as crucial in the coming election: GOP political strategist Karl Rove hopes to mobilize 20 million fundamentalist voters to help sweep Bush back into office on Nov. 2 and to maintain a Republican majority in Congress, says Joan Bokaer, director of Theocracy Watch, a project of the Center for Religion, Ethics, and Social Policy at Cornell University.”

Neat rite???…. πŸ™‚

No offence meant to anyone πŸ™‚
