Just imagine for a second, what would you do if you were asked to write a script involving trillion characters and it is all for a live show. And… there should be no goof ups.
Let me explain. Say for example, you have to create
that scene where a guy is waiting at a signal. He should turn right. When he
turns right, he should be in the path of a car that has been waiting at the
signal. Like Sun Tv serials you cannot simply have a car waiting there.
Remember? It’s a live show. So the car should have come there precisely at that
time to be ready to hit the guy when he turns right. So there should be a
separate story for the guy in the car and the story should so require that the
car is at that signal at that point of time. Let us assume that this car guy
had to cut across another guy in cycle and now because of one minute spent in
slowing the car to get back on track, he is stuck. He keeps cursing the cycle
guy because if he had not cut across him, he would not have been caught in the signal
now. Remember, you are the director. You should have a story ready for the
cycle guy with a good enough reason for cutting across the car guy.
'Whew' -if this is the word in your mind right
now, read on.
God is busy creating these scenes. Every day he
has to manipulate, screenplay, direct and orchestrate the Trillion characters
he has created in over enthusiasm when Eve bit Adam, er sorry, when Eve bit the
forbidden apple. So yeah! People, Grow up!! God has enough on his plate without
you yelling at him for a range of things from ‘Oh-God-he stamped my foot’ to ‘Oh-God-let-my-boss-forget-to-ask-
me-about-that-project-I-didn’t-do-yet’ stuff. (Of course: God does take these
into consideration and honors these requests if it is from his favorite
characters. Like ME of course!) Keep in mind, God has Trillion characters to
direct and more importantly, he has to fathom the mysterious girls’ and of
course, the guys mind and create scenes so atleast a majority of the characters
can be happy.
Trust me and God, making you sad is not his
objective. Okay. Imagine having to watch a Sun-Tv soap which only makes you
sob, how long will you watch it? Yeah. God is into this show for centuries so
surely he will not be able to stand the show he is creating, if it is always
sad. Its just that it might take him sometime to create a scene of happiness to
a particular character. Sometimes even a
lifetime.
Just imagine yourself writing this thousand page
novel and nobody seem to recognize it or even tell that you have done a nice job.
What would you feel like doing? Killing every character left right and center?
That’s how God must be feeling when none of us
thank him for his awesome creation, thats us. The simple fact that you (we) are
still walking, talking and laughing or even crying for that matter, is a proof
that God has different plans for you. Its not yet your turn to turn right at
the signal. Not yet! So you have to keep going. And oh yeah, God will work out
your part better than you. Not just because he is God, but because he is the director
and ONLY the director knows what happens to other characters.

Ho Na Ho line. Hence the entire post! Phuuleeese bear with me!!
