of Wrinkes and some Wondering

A thing that i'v been pondering on for the past few days- Out of all the people in my acquaintaince, the smartest ones are inevitably the ones who are the first to pronounce themselves agnostics, atheists or existentialists. For real. How does it happen that NEARLY all the people i know to be brilliant do not believe in the concept of God. Surely its not a weird
co-incidence, or is it? I have a humongous amount of faith in that Power, call it God/Krishna/Allah/alternative figure. Call it luck or pure bullish tendency but there is really nothing thats made me question that presence. Yes, i know terrible things happen and that sometimes they look very unfair but i know beyond the shadow of a doubt that something exists that's around us. Taking care of us. Looking out for us. It may not be easy to put your faith in something intangible, but in my opinion- we miss out so much when we dont...

See, i guess we need to put our faith in whatever makes us most comfortable but its just a little strange to know that the smarter people around choose to put it in other things. In some small way, in the Literary world at least... unconditional belief in the divine has become unfashionable. We have become more keen on using terms that signify 'not moving ahead' as opposed to embracing tradition based on the fact that tradition is itself obsolete. My take- why must eveything old be considered unnecessary. Have we, in our attempt to broaden our minds to new concepts, closed our minds to the old?

ps-on a different topic altogether...the biggest cliche' is coming true...is true...
All the good guys are either gay or taken. And this time im bloody sure. Gives up happily and decides to just 'be'.... :D (its almost a relief of sorts to know for sure) Hang diplomacy, its a freakin BLESSING to know.... Now we can move to the Himalayas and tend to expensive cows... I dont particularly know why but it sure sounds good.
