Three stories

Here goes three stories I heard at different points of life:
Story No 1:
There is a small boy living with his Mom. He was a good guy, doesn’t make much fuss about anything. But he has got only one problem. He always asks Mom ‘Where is God? What is he looking like?’. Mom tries to explain but fails to convince him.
One day he tells Mom that he wants to go out and search for God. Surprisingly his Mom does not stop him. She says ‘Go ahead son. Let me prepare you the food you will need on the way’.
So he sets out with a packet of lunch. He searches all over the village, asks around but doesn’t find God. By the evening he reaches the next village. It is almost getting dark. He feels the wetness of meal in his hand and starts feeling hungry. He sits down to eat. He sees an old lady sitting near by. She is slightly stooped with wrinkles all over her face. She was visibly tired. He goes to her and asks ‘Grandma, are you hungry? I have got something to eat’. She is visible grateful and they both sit down and share their meal.
He goes back home and tells Mom ‘Mom, I found out God. But God is not the person we expected to be. God lives in the next village. God is an old woman, seemingly 80 years of age. She is a bit stooped, has wrinkles all over and looks tired’.
The old woman goes home and tells her children ‘I saw God today, children. He is different from what I pictured him to be. He is a small boy, just looks like a 6 year old. He is a sweet little kid and lives in the next village.’

Story No.2:
A boy was looking into the window display of a shoe store. His cloth is in tatters. He probably must be from a poor background. A lady sees him looking into the store. She takes him to the store and buys the shoes for him. He is so happy.
He asks the lady ‘Madam, are you God?’
She replies ‘No dear, am just his daughter’
‘I guessed so, that you are one of his relative’

Story No3:
This is a couple of scenes from one of my all time favorites: ‘Anbe Sivam’.
Kamal Hassan is a atheist. Madhavan is a spoilt brat brought up in luxury. They argue with each other on communism, existence of God. Their train gets delayed. They learn that another train overturned on the way. They go to the place and sees that it is a big casuality. Madhavan is afraid of blood and the sight revolts him. He feels like retching. He has got a rare blood group- AB+ve. Suddenly a nurse goes around asking for some willing donor from AB+ve fpr a small boy. Kamal persuades him. He is too afraid. But seeing the plight of little boy and decides to donate his blood. After that he buys a ball for that boy. But the boy dies on the way of shifting him to a better hospital.
Madhavan asks Kamal if he believes in God.
‘Yes’
‘Which is your God?’
Kamal replies ’You are my God.’
Madhavan, ‘Me…how?’
‘Because you were willing to give your blood to a dying boy you didn’t know. You brought a ball for him to play with.’


So everyone is there any point in going in search of God? Can you see him in those around you?

Cheers!!!
