God plays video games!

It seems that God or whoever runs this imperfect world is very fond of playing video games with us. I remember those days when I was hopelessly fond of playing Super Mario bros, Contra or Spartan X.

So God puts all of us in different video games where each one of us is a protagonist.You would strive hard, jump over obstacles, kill enemies, swim through water with a reverse current, win over castles and forts and suddenly when you are just about to reach your a new castle the entire rules of the game would be changed.

Then you would have new challenges, new weapons, friends(and enemies) and new castles to be won. And one fine day when perhaps you would be in pursuit of yet another castle he would suddenly turn the main switch off like my dad used to do sometimes!

GAME OVER!!

All dreams, aspirations, loved ones, struggles, responsibilities, joys and pain over in a whiff, like Mario used to vanish in the black and white TV screen.

Now don't get me wrong. No I am not a pessimist. Just being practical and sort of...well, philosophical!

Actually I wanted to live a life that would not end when I am medically dead.

I am very fond of Kishore Kumar and Rafi. They would always live with their melody and versatility and would keep inspiring generation after generation.

Kids still read stories of Dickens and Tolstoy. Dhirubhai Ambani lives on with Reliance(ok the two companies of his sons) even though he is dead.

I have always been inspired by these people and wanted to live a life that would be creative, would add value to this world in the real sense and wanted to create things that would not end with me!

Since as of now I seem to be completely sucked into a run of the mill and routine life, I decided to use the internet to share my feelings with the world and in the process create something good in my small way that would still be there after God says, "Game Over!" :-)
