I will build a faith
I will advocate a religion. Someday I will preach it, and I am sure there will be lots of takers. Some of the dictates will be as follows.
- My religion will have God/Gods, however, who or how I shall think of when the time comes as per public likes/dislikes. Chances are that it could be me :) Anyways, Gods will never be the same always. They will change with each each season.
- Truth, of course, will be preferred. However, when unavoidable white lies are allowed.
- You will be forced to think. There will be weekly gatherings where you will have to reach by solving a clue game before the religion will be propounded to you.
- You will be forced to participate in weekly gatherings that consist of PJs (phaltu jokes). All followers of this faith must bring along at least 5 such jokes and should be good listeners of the same.
- Mailing, chatting and exchange of interesting articles on a weekly basis will be a must, discussions on some of them will be mandatory on the weekly gatherings.
- Working will be permissible for not more than 3 days a week. Holidays will be decided later, they are the days which shall constitute discussions on the forums (refer #3 above)
- There will be a festival every month lasting for at least 5 days where everyone is supposed to do one activity they enjoy/ need to do. It may include eating out, singing, boozing, sleeping, learning something, or even lazing at home and reading book(s). The festival shall not on any count coincide with the designated weekly holidays.
- Music will be the standard medium of prayer. An hour is a compulsory daily dose for meditation; more is preferred. Type of music depends upon individual taste. Takes you closer to the Lord(s). Rock or Classical music, of course, will be preferred.
- Everyone will have complimentary access to a library (physical and web-based) by virtue of being a believer of this religion.
The basic dictate of the religion will be -
- Happy living through peaceful oblivion (also practicing a certain colourful 3 letter word).
- Reduction of ill vibes between people through reduction in bitching (except of course where unavoidable, and not more than once in a conversation.)
- Doing, instead of cribbing – yeah it’s a pain, but in this religion there has to be some work after all! One needs to work on one’s cribs.

GOD the dictates...
P.S: more frequent posts requested!!
I would like to join this religion. One more idea.. Inaugural ceremony of this religion should be hosted in a holiday resort with lotsa fun and music :))
shud i even comment?!
Good thought. Somemore things you can consider..
1. Select a cricketer to endorse.
2. Have a free channel on TV 24/7
3. One successful politician of that time should be invited to be a member. (Def make sure to let people know - he wears a white slipper because the GOD told him to and his attributed to thee)
i came here to read your new post.. was heavily disappointed once again.. too busy or wat.. not even a new year wishes post :((... hope 2008 would see more posts than the past!!
Its encouraging to hear people talk of religion and thinkng in the same...something which is an anomaly these days. With the use of religion in everything but for places where its actually needed such a thought is commendable.
But it fails to answer the basic question....do we need a religion for this?If we follow what we actually should, the world would be much better a place.
