Boulevard of Dreams

Guru Sanket Biswal — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:07:47 +0000

On 14th Feb 2010, I asked one single question that every Engineering Student plans for. It was the turning point of my entire LIFE.

The question was (I hope u guessed it correctly) – What do I wanna do in my life … whether I was gonna delve into the adventures of my dreams or run after the so called ’security’ of a job???

And I’ve decided to Follow My Dreams !!!

But thats not all, coz here’s the good part – The challenge is to reach a 7 Figure Income within 1 year !!! In fact, I’m actually aiming to purchase my own Honda Civic by this time next year.

The real question is will I reach it or not. Only time will tell but I want you to stand witness to hear the final verdict of my fate on 14th Feb 2011 which I’ll publish at www.garysanet.com.

The countdown has started. Let the Adventure begin …

God is Faith

Guru Sanket Biswal — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:21:00 +0000

INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and…..

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
Student: (Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From…God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
Student: (Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
Student: (Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No , sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold.
We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat.
We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light….But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it?
In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.
Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
Prof: (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir?
Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
Prof: (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
Prof: (The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?…..No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir.. The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation !!

Interview of God

Guru Sanket Biswal — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 05:31:00 +0000

.———‘’GOD” IS GOING TO REVEAL HIS IDENTITY ON 25-07-2007——–.

An Interview with the Creator of the profile ‘God’, 15 days before he reveals his true identity !!

Interviewed By – Emma ( ‘The little sister of ‘God’’ ) on 10-07-2007 at 2 p.m..
Edited By – ‘God’.

Q) __ R u really the creator of the profile ‘God’ ?
Ans. __ Yes, I am.(Name revealed on 25-07-2007).

Q) __ Don’t u believe in God ?
Ans. __ Of course I do…………but I firmly believe that “Hands that help are far better than prayers.”.

Q) __ Now lets come to the ‘Big Question’………..WHAT WAS THE REASON BEHIND OPENING A PROFILE NAMED ‘GOD’ ?
Ans. __ After my12th, I got a lot of free time…………………Frankly speakin’………I wuz completely bored by the time all my exams got over n’ with 2 months of holidays ( with absolutely nothin’ to do)………….. I thought about creatin’ a profile named ‘God’ !! Believe me when I say – Boredom can be a good motivator !!

Q) __ Is ‘Jesus – Son of God’ also created by you ?
Ans. __ Yes.

Q) __ Well I’m gonna ask this one too – Whose idea was it to reveal ur identity ?
Ans. __ It was yours my sister……………. ( hey, u r blushing)…….. !!

Q) __ Why did u decide to reveal ur identity ?
A) __ Well, I think I wouldn’t get much time to carry on with the profile ‘God’ as soon as my studies starts so I thought it wuz time to end it.

Q) __ Do you remember the actual date in which u opened ‘God’ ?
Ans. __ I cant b sure …….. may be around 25th of May 2007.

Q) __ Do you know everyone in your account ?
Ans. __ At first, I wuz plannin’ to limit my friend list to just my friends …………… but then I decided to also include the ‘many interesting people’ here in Orkut.

Q) __ What wuz the best part about creatin’ the profile ‘God’ ?
Ans. __ The most excitin’ part wuz in the beginning when almost all my friends (even those who weren’t there in my friend list) ………… began snooping about the real identity of ‘God’. It wuz really fun lookin’ at them – accusing each other; (coz nobody had the slightest idea abt it )!!
And secondly threre wuz this added freedom u hav’ when u r ‘Under Cover’ / ‘Anonymous’. Actually, I explored a completely new part of me through the profile ‘God’.

Q) __ Did u tell anybody about openin’ the profile ?
Ans. __ I had told it to only 2 of my friends -
First to Bhargava ( Link – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=12107959772245451289 )
And then to Kartik ( Link – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=10969234222424043336 )

Q) __ Was anybody able to identify you ?
Ans. __ Well many did guess it right ………… but ‘Sindhu’ ( Link – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=14877333625411966041 ) wuz the first to do so …….
n’ Vishal ( Link – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=12340090352992435739 ) bein’ the second !!
However, nobody wuz able to prove it !!

Q) __ R u plannin’ to delete this profile after revealin’ ur identity ?
Ans. __ Well, I’ll let my friends decide ………….. ( majority wins ) !!

Q) __ Do you have any regrets about opennin’ the profile ?
Ans. __ Not really. Well, I felt a little guilty, at first, but since my intentions were nothin’ but pure – I got over it.

Q) __ Who did you like the most in ur friend list of ‘God’ ?
Ans. __ I’m not gonna reveal her identity until I ask her. But here’s a hint – She completed her graduation this year (2007)…… has got an serious attitude …….. n’ not to mention is a bit philosophical !!

Q) __ Would you like to say anything to your friends ?
Ans. __ First of all, I would to like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends for the ‘Wonderful Moments’ we have shared . ……..…………… Each one of u guyz r my special friends ……..everyone – wonderful in their own way ……….. You were always there by my side to gift me so much happiness that I’d never known before ………………YOU ALL MEAN A WORLD TO ME ……….…………..!!
