Sitting in the examination hall of my board exams,looking around observing people on how nervous or anxious or excited or just 'whats going on with me' expressions on their faces and what not. Most of them were nervous and tensed but ofcourse there were a few people like me who were like 'oh great this Finally starts I hope it ends soon I want to go home and sleep.' Well ofcourse I did feel a a tinsy bit pressure because the hardwork (I shouldn't be saying hardwork that's not what I did) was about to be put to test. But then suddenly I saw two strange things. First : Few girls were adjusting their make up and setting their hair . Well its the board examination hall what are you trying to do impress or scare people like me with those make up faces? The only thing that popped up was 'Why? Just why?' but well that is kinda sorta normal when it comes to girls they love make... Many of them do but the real thing was the 2nd Strange thing I saw . Few children well a lot of them were praying to the god asking for an easy question paper and also more importantly asking for a lenient supervisor. Then I wondered... Is he really listening? Is it going to help by praying about an easy paper and lenient supervisor when it was already decided way before you started praying? And what if he did listen your prayers will you really benefit from that? Maybe. Being a guy who loves science I liked to think practically when it comes down to exams or such things . Praying 5 minute before the paper for easy questions seemed a bit foolish. Instead maybe having belief in yourself and the hardwork you have done so far seemed more 'Ideal' to me. By now maybe you must be thinking that I am atheist. Not believing in the presence of such entity. But not exactly. I like to call myself agnostic. I respect God but I don't follow everything about a religion. I just do things which feel right to me. When asked to pray I just pray for the well being of my family and friends and not for myself ... Why? Because they are the reason why I have a smile on my face. They are a reason I am able to enjoy freedom. They are the reason because of which I can be who I want to be. I don't pray daily but when I do I just take a deep breath remove everything from my mind for a while and pray and no one can dare deny that this gives you a feeling of calmness and eases your mind a bit till life decides to do a comeback and make you face reality :P. Again the same question arises back again are these prayers even heard in the first place? What even if they are heard? Well there are many perspectives to look at one thing. The same applies here. Consider this perspective : When you pray for the well being of you loved ones you first of all forget your worries for a while and relax your mind. You will surely think of the few who matter you the most. You will try to remember then the way they are their smile their voice and the fun times you have had with them and eventually this is going to make you smile because this is just simple human psychology that thinking about your loved ones makes you smile as well! And now let's be real is it anytime wrong to not smile? And what caused this smile? A simple prayer. Also this smile , this prayer didn't really depend on existence of this powerful entity did it? So well I wonder if god hear me or not but hey I ended up smiling I am good to go ;-)
