Gods must be crazy

Imagine five days of hectic work , followed by a clean relaxing coffee or tea which ever is your poison...

A lot of us now have such typical weekends.
Feels good is it not.

But Imagine , a hectic work load for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without coffee breaks or joyful vacations.
Sounds dull drab and boring.
Does it not.

But who has such a job.
Well in India , every God has such a job.But it is nothing dull or boring.

Each day when the clock strikes 5 or 6, the God (when I refer to God here , I mean both Male and the female form ) is woken up and invoked in hundreds of temples, they sound of singing , the sound of the drums and bells tolling. Imagine that you have had a tough day and just managed to grab some sleep  and then suddenly you are woken up, lights near your eyes, holy water on your head.

Imagine again, to be available in all places, at the same time, standing on two legs for the entire duration, having the lights brought so near you, flames of the sacred fire too.
Would you like such a job ?

No friends who visit you, no lets chill at the bar,
No pyjama parties,
No gym, no nothing.

Just standing there and listening to everyone ranting, blabbering, devotionally immersed in praying.

The brother wants more money, the sister wants a job so that she may not marry young, the guy across her wants is saying , woah, she looks cute, "dear God, can you create that spark between us?".
His mom is wanting her son to marry the girl from her home town.
So many wishes , desires, checklists , algorithms and what not.

If god was a software program then it is one hell of a program,
If God were a project now that is a whole new dynamic after all.

Just imagine , answering queries, solving issues, creating happiness, giving away blessings.

God does not even get time to breathe, or even fart in peace. Every where he goes there are people.

And then the lovely aroma of all the cooking , comes to his abode but guess what God cannot consume any of it . Such luck eh ?

And then there are no holidays, not even festival holidays. Beat that . It is precisely when God is working at full speed. Full potential.

Now coming to potential, imagine how God's yearly appraisal meeting would be .
"33 crore wishes answered in one day...!"

Wait how would God's resume look like,

Would there be an application process there  too ?

It gets really complicated when the wishes are not granted, some of them not even possible,
Especially during exam season.

Sometimes the death algorithm , fate algorithm takes over but at times God needs to be the all smiling person we all want to be.
Expectations you see , bother the Gods too.

At times there is no sick leave, no planned sick leave, It's India Vs Pakistan cricket match leave or just plain old bored of this work leave.

It is God's role to protect and serve us,
Like some people who like to say the "puppet show".

But is that because the Gods are bored that they need entertainment ?
They have enough on their minds already.

It really needs to be appreciated though that even after so many centuries, the Gods are awake every single day and night listening to an endless barrage of prayers, listing them, sorting them , identifying them and finally tagging them. And finally taking into consideration the varying Karma index , help them lead a happy life and at long last maintain their database at the time of their return.

Then take the blame, for not Saving some one, for creating rains and for not creating rains, for blessing relationships and cursing them.

And now I almost forgot, to be called into every function and marriage to attend and bless the couple, bless the baby, take back the dead .

Such tremendous work.

Phew ! That is some serious work . Insane indeed.

Yet loved so much , revered so much and being thought of so much has its own perks.

Where else can you get all of this.

Maybe this is the Ultimate Job. Running everything and nothing.
Being the enigma,
The protagonist behind many stories, being written about in folklore, celebrated as heroes, legends and not forgotten for centuries to come...

The Gods are truly one great topic of interest...

If Gods had gossip, had social media, had smart phones and selfie sticks, had likes, dislikes and thumbsdowns ....

Just imagine , for once how would it be....

This is purely a work of random thought, not intented to belittle any feelings towards the God you worship, this is not against religion or pro religion.
It is but just another tale spun out of interesting questions.
