Gully Cricket of Gods

“This is the last ball of the final match of this epic gully cricket tournament, ‘Religion I’ needs 3 runs off the final ball and ‘Religion U’ is on their toes to win this one. Lets go to the heavens and see what happens.”

“The bowler is all set to ball the final ball while the batsman looks around the ground searching for those gaps. The bowler steams in, the batsman grips his bat hard, eyeing to clear the fence, tension in the stands pertain, all the Devi, Devtas and devotees are on the edge of there Singhasans as he bowls a bouncer.
The batsman hooks it and the ball is flying towards the boundary rope, this will cross the fence, Religion I is going to win this.
No way! That’s a brilliant catch on the boundary and Religion U has pulled out a great victory. Fans are going crazy, we commentators are going crazy! What an epic game of cricket today!”

Religion U lifts the trophy and till the next year will choose which new born on earth will follow what religion.”

May be this is how Gods decide the fate of every new born on the earth, sending the intelligent ones to their religion and the evil ones to the other. I know it is a very sensitive topic and you guys may not like me writing about Gods and all, but it’s, My Perception on Things. The one question, out of thousand unanswered ones is this,

“How does the God decide on sending a new born to that specific religion?”

I have asked my mom many times about this, and she has always replied with one thing, ” Pichle Janam mein acche Karma kiye hai isiliye, tu ish religion mai paida hua.” Listening to this another questions pops in my mind, what about people belonging to other religion? What kind of deeds they would have done in their previous births? Or why would a God agree on sending a terrorist or a dictator to His religion for spoiling all the name that He has made for himself and for His religion. He can protest, he is the God after all!

I am a big fan of hindi movies and I believe they teach us many things about life. There is a scene from one of my favourite movies “My Name is Khan”, where Sharukh’s mother tells him, ” There are only two kind of people, One who do good deeds and the others who aim at harming others.”
This is what I have believed all my life.
