Dear God

Dear God,

 To keep it simple, I’m referring him as God, forget about how he is addressed by the rest of the 7.2 billion people that live on the planet with me. Also, to keep it really short, I am referring to Him as Him, we can discuss the feminist, the dual identity or the higher force later on. Till, then May the force be with you. In India, we all leave everything to Bhagwan.

It is his marzi if we survive, its his marzi if the nukkad wala uncle is beating his wife, its his marzi if the water is not coming in the pipes, its even his marzi if the young girl dies in her prime due to cancer; its even his greater marzi that Odhisa gets struck with a typhoon and the state escapes with minimal deaths. It’s not thanks to disaster management, but it’s his marzi that the stampede occurs in MP and 113 people lose their lives.

God, On behalf of us lesser mortals, I apologize to you. I am so sorry we have stopped taking onus for our faults, our own shortcomings but have started laying the blame on your doorstep. I know it’s a haloed one, and you just smile and take on everything but we need to sit up and take action. And not be complacent and smug and say its bhagwan Ki marzi. People dying, accidents happening, girls being born, all are our doing. We need to stop, giving you the blame.

Indians at a large have become lazy, ignorant to their advantage and also morally corrupt. The defense given here by us is that it has been carrying on for so long and due to media intervention it is being highlighted and sensationalized to achieve the target of maximum TRP’s. Life in short is a media circus along with projections.

I meet old, young , ordinary people of India of rural Punjab who all are smug and take what is happening to them as Bhagwan/ Rabb ki marzi. Punjab , right now faces an epidemic of substance and drug abuse but all we do say is its everywhere , and rabb di marzi that the youth got caught in it !

When are we going  to stop laying all the troubles on God’s door? And pick up our own backside and do something. God ji , I apologize and hope the next generation that believes in You as a face book page works and solves the mess we are in .

Yours truly,

A believer and who swears by Bhagwan Ki Marzi
