I announced boisterously "I will do a Ph.D. in comparative analysis of Hinduism and Islam". Where? Of course to my parents. (And mom reminded me of my age :) )
Because I want to do something about the violence - of large and small scale happening in our country in the name of God. And of course I am worried about violence in other countries too. You just now read my previous post - didn't you?
I want to study these religions - understand them and write my own commentaries on them. Wow, when did I become ambitious? And when people read these "commentaries", they will realize that God does not give a damn about who prays to him or who prays to his neighbor. He just wants to be left in peace. And then people will not stop killing people of other religions.
And then people may have to die of old age, or as we like to say "when HE decides to take me to heaven/hell"
God bhi khush. Hum bhi khush.
Great idea? Isn't it? But how do I implement it? I who think million times before stepping out of my house, I who has emotional quotient of 10 year old, how I will collect data, do research? On religious texts?
But didn't Gandhiji say "Be the change you want to see in the world"?
