Lord Ganapathi’s Inception
It was a fine evening, with the sky partially covered with clouds and the weather was quite damp. I can see every thing outside completely drenched with the heavy rainfall received couple of hours ago. I can hear vague sounds of shouting, as it was Lord Ganesha’s 11th day feast coming to an end.
I was in a pensive mood, and I was worried about where my career was going. I decided to take a walk to breathe some fresh air. Suddenly my phone rang and I was surprised to see that it was from Ganapathi of whom I didn’t had any contact registered in my phonebook.
I answered the phone by pressing the green button.
“Heyya!!!”, “How are you my boy?”
“Fine, Thank you.”, “Who’s this? Do you know me?”
I was even more surprised hear the voice and the way in which the person addressed me. I thought “BOY! Who the Hell are you man.”
“Yes, Of course, You are my Boy”
“Boy! Ahaa! (Atlanaa!!). Who the hell do you think you are calling Dude and What’s your Name?”
“Oh Boy you ask too many questions, Didn’t you see my name before answering me...Ha…Ha”
“What!! Is this a joke?”
“You call me BOY again without disclosing your identity I will disconnect your phone”
Now I was really beginning to be irritated by this conversation and decided to give him one more chance.
“Take it easy my BOY; everyone in this world knows who I am”
“I am The Ganapathi and everyone knows me.”
“I know you more than anyone else and even slightly better than yourself.”
Hearing this I was annoyed and started to bite my teeth. I decided to end this futile conversation going nowhere by pressing the red button.
But Alas!!! My Phone is not responding…I thought what’s happening to me and started to feel a chill in my spine and down to my knees traveling at approximately 1024 Terahertz per second(I know the speed is way over anyone’s imagination in actual fact way over director Shankar’s.).
I thought that someone is playing Betting/Poker on me with my life at stake.
I answered him by saying “Are you the real one?”
Hearing this he answered back “Oh! My Boy!!!!!!!!!!! ”
“How can I make you believe?”
I said, “By saying something no one knows other than myself. Let’s say what I was doing before this chat.”
He replied, “You were reading a computer magazine named T3 which you downloaded last evening and dreamed of owning an Ipod Touch, Ipad, Iphone, in the very same order and you also dreamed taking over Apple in the near future.”
I couldn’t control my excitement and decided to test him further.
I said, “Ok, Good……Before that.”
“Ok, you were thinking about suing Microsoft for not gifting you an XBOX as a gratitude for using all its products freely all these years.”
“And before that you were cursing Mumbai Indians and Dhoni’s performance, Mosquitos in your room, The Rain, Sania Mirza’s achieving 170th WTA Rank, Pakisthan, China, Obama, Recession.”
Hearing this I was flabbergasted, and instantly believed that it was Lord Ganesha who is speaking with me.
“Oh my Gosh….err…GOD, its You My Lord”
“I am privileged to hear you My Lord, this is really unbelievable.”
“Thank you, you are welcome.”
“Why are you worried?”
“You know the reason Ganesha”
“Things will fall in place very soon. Don’t worry and don’t compare yourself to others. Each one of them has their own strengths and weakness, some admit, some never agree and some even don’t know who and what they are.”
“Each one of them has a range (ability), a vision for which they are bound to, they only see what they want to which perhaps limits their ability to discover everything including their life.”
“Knowing oneself is the Real Key to Success.”
“The process of Self-awareness is not easy though. It too needs time and pampering, like a newly planted tree in the back yard”
“Humans made life complicated so you make your own simple.”
“Infact every person should explore their deepest darkest places of the mind, reach the boundaries of their vision which will help them perform to the hilt thereby gaining success gradually.”
“The farther you try to increase your boundaries the greater is your success. So expand your mind to farthest places of this Universe.”
“Think huge, Think Max, or Think Nothing (Infinite). “
“Don’t miss the opportunity to be one of them.”
“The real success comes from within (Right Thought) and with the help of hard work.”
“Success is a Vehicle and needs a Person to drive it and what matters is that are you driving on a right path or not.
Once you finish this challenge knowing others is another level which I feel is a lot less complex than the first one.”
“With this I want to end this Brainstorming session as I have other commitments. But before I go here is a gift for you. I hope you like it.”
“Wow!!!! It’s an IPhone…Ultra cool man!!!!! Thanks Ganesha. Bye”
I played with it all day, until I received a call from an unknown number.
I was really annoyed when I answered the call and it was some Salesman trying to convince me to buy an insurance policy to which I reacted strongly.
This time I was even more surprised to see that the phone which I am holding is not IPhone but an old phone of mine.
“Oh Gosh! I realized that it was a dream and I really felt sad (for losing IPhone) and happy (for having free spiritual session with The GOD himself) at the same time.”
After that I went outside for a walk on a bright afternoon. Suddenly every thing around me changed quickly which is very scary. The sky changed its color to pitch dark and surprisingly The Sun is falling down as if it is coming to get me and stopped right above my head with a peculiar shape.
I thought “Hey come on…I just finished a session with Ganesha, why is everyone playing with me.”
I heard a beep on my phone, opened my inbox to see the message. It says, “I am not the one who is playing my BOY, it’s CHRISTOPHER NOLAN. HA……………HA…………HA……………HA………………”
I yelled in disbelief. “What’s happening with me?”
That was not the end of my misery, with sun appearing bright, the dark clouds above rained heavily upon me as if there was a funnel beneath the clouds which channeled all of rain.
Surprisingly for the last time I realized that it was not the Sun but it is the Bulb in my bathroom and I was in the shower. I laughed at my self again in disbelief. It was dream within a dream, certainly I realized that Chris Nolan is playing games not The Lord Ganesha.
“Oh My Lord Ganesha Vapas Ana Hamesha”
