I got a strange invite last night on my BBM. It was an invite from user name “00GOD000”. I did not know who it was, but added him however. Below is what transpired later
Me: Who is this ?
God: Hi
Me: Hi.. Who is this ?
God: My Username seems to suggest I'm God
Me: Yeah, right !! Tell me who is this & who gave you my BBM Pin
God: Umm..let me get back to you. I'll check with my secretary
Me: !!
After a while
God: Yes, confirmed, I am God
Me: And you had to check with your secretary to remind you who you are ?
God: Yes, there are so many things I have to remember, I forget some things.
Me: And when your secretary told you, you believed her ?
God: Him !
Me: Him ?
God: Yeah, is there a problem ?
Me: I thought your secretary would be a woman.
God: Should my secretary be a woman ?
Me: No..just… anyways, I’m digressing. So, if you are God, howcome we are chatting on BBM
God: Why can't we chat on BBM ?
Me: Well, I would expect God to communicate with a human being directly from the sky, heavens.. You know !
God: But, wouldn't that disturb everybody else. So much noise !
Me: I guess it would
God: Good
Me: So…are you sure you are God
God: I can't believe you are still asking me ! Din’t I tell you already
Murmurs in the background
God: Ok, Try deleting me from your BBM list !
Me: …. Shit !! I can't delete you !
God: There…
Me: But still, God wouldn't chat on BBM
God: Who says so
Me: I do
God: And who, if I may ask, are you ?
Me: Aha ! If you were God, you wouldn't need to ask !
God: Oh dear.. And why wouldn't I need to ask ?
Me: Bcoz..bcoz God is Omniscient !
God: So, if I don’t know who you are, I can't be God ?
Me: Correct !
God: (pause).. That is interesting ! (another pause) But then, who am I ?
Me: That's what I would like to know !
God: Wait, I'll ask my secretary..
Me: Wait….
(long pause)
God: I'm back
Me: ???
God: My secretary says I really am God
Me: Then tell me who I am. You would know
God: My secretary explained it to me. I do know everything, but just can't remember any of it. Like for example, the fact that I am God.
Me: That can’t be right. If God doesn’t remember stuff, we are all doomed !
God: No No..here in heaven, there is a concept of archived data, data warehousing, a search engine etc. My brain is not large enough to store everything, so only some data is readily available. I have to search for everything else.
Me: ok…
God: And my secretary pulled out your file. I can tell you some things about yourself. Name is Mihir, birthday is Dec 14..
Me: stop stop… these are info bits that anyone would know !
God: Ok, ask me something.. Something current, that only you would know and you haven’t even told your fiancee.. Whats her name… Nidhi
Me: Impressive… ok.. I told my fiancee that I was going to paint a certain wall in my room a particular shade of blue. But, last night, I thought of another colour ! Tell me that ! Ha !
God: wait.. Lemme press refresh on my search engine…yeah… it shows me.. Orange.
Me: (silence)
God: You there ? You believe me now ?
Me: This is eerie.. Im still in a daze.. Are you.. God ? The GOD ?
God: Yep, the secretary confirmed
Me: oh Shit !.. I mean, sorry.. Oh God.. what the hell…I mean..heaven.. sorry..
God: Calm down !
Me: ok..ok.. So, Where are you ? Are you One God or many ? Which is the truest religion ? What does my future hold ? Why are we chatting ? Why me ?
God: I have to go.. Maybe we'll chat later.. I'll happily answer all your questions..
Me: oh.. Ok :-(
God: Till next time.. "I" bless, take care
Me: Wait..
God: Yes, quick..have a meeting with my unit heads..
Me: Whaa? Unit heads ? Anyways, you said something about data storage and a search engine
God: Yeah..
Me: So, what's it called ?
God: Well, we here call it Godgle….
And then God’s status changes from “Available” to “Busy” and somehow, I can’t send him any PINGS. I guess I’ll have to wait… till next time…
