Man and a sparrow named “chioo”: 6

Man and a sparrow named “chioo”: 6

There was a man. But now there was no Chioo.

And how would she be? There were no trees, not even bushes, in the courtyard. In fact there was no courtyard. Only few unhealthy Rose-bushes in the balcony. There were no photo-frames, no vacant-unused places, no storehouses, no gaps under roof in the houses.

There were not even grains in the houses. Only ready to use Atta packets Roti packets or bread/Pizza from the malls.

Crows were somehow surviving. But where were Raghus (Parrots), Mainas, Bulbuls? And where were Cunning Fox, Wicked Wolf, Brave Waghoba (Tigars) and King of the Jungle – Lion? But there were no Jungles.

There was a man. He was grandfather now. Sitting on a chair in front of TV or Computer screen, while feeding noodles or cornflakes to his granddaughter, he would tell her the stories of Chioo-Kau, and Raghu-Maina. At first she used to listen. One day she asked, “what is Chioo?” He tried to explain, then showed her animated cartoons on internet. Then she asked, “where is Chioo?” from that day he stopped telling her stories.

She didn’t asked, but how on earth could he possibly answer the question of irresponsibilities and sins done for many generations?

Now he tells her the stories of Tiger-man, Falcon-man, Frog-man, Whale-man and Werewolf or reads her their comics. Or tries to make her laugh with the … of Heman-Superman or Zobot-Tobot-Robot. If nothing else, there are lots of cartoon networks.

There was a man. But he was alone in deserted world.

Once he was Omnivorous. Now He was Omnipotent and Omniscient God of Nothing.

Or, was he there in his own creation of Nothingness?            

01 – Man and God’s water – B

One day, one man, when he was used to get plenty of water, thought, I am wise and so I must do something about this water problem.

So he dug a big pit in his land. He brought God’s water from nearby river and stored it in that pit. This is My water, he said. It is now sufficient for My land, My trees and My animals and birds. And there is some excess in reserve for future. Now I am happy.

Then he jumped in and swam in that water. 

One day one man said, why should I get one, ten, hundred, or thousand buckets of water? After all this is all my water. And this is my land. My trees grow on it. My animals live on it. I give them water. I am supreme.

Yet I am so generous, I quench the thirst of the entire universe.

Then in the ecstasy of supremacy, he danced naked in the ocean of God.

Then one day, one man said, this entire universe is mine. It’s because of me and it’s for me. I am supreme.

But it’s not necessary to be generous. It’s not a binding. As such I am not responsible for the thirst of the universe. I will decide, who will get the water and how much. No water for those who don’t belong to me.

Then he made a fence around his water pool and supplied the water to his people, animals and birds. And he built a dam on the river and supplied water only to his fields.

He denied it to all others.

Man seized the God’s Water. But God didn’t prohibit him. Man seized the God’s Universe. But God didn’t prohibit him.

Because, there was no God to guard the Universe. There was no God to look after. In fact there was no God.

After eating the fruit of his own tree watered by his own water, in his own land, man realized, there is nobody to ask, nobody to prohibit and nothing to fear. There is no God. I am the God.

This is a story of Man and Water. This is also a story of Man and Trees, Man and Animals and Man and Universe.

And this is also a story of Man and God (who does not exist)

01 – Man and God’s water – A

There was a man. He used to get a bucketful of water every day.

Who gave it to him?

It was all God’s water. From that, the man used to get one bucketful every day for himself. He used it for drinking and cleaning. It was enough for him. Much more water was also there for trees and animals and for all life.

God’s water was for everyone and enough for everyone.

There was a man. He used to get a bucketful of water every day.

One day he got two buckets of water for himself. He used one for drinking and cleaning.

He used another for extra cleaning. But really he poured it on himself for fun.

Now he started getting two buckets of water every day.

One day one man got three buckets of water for himself.

He used one for drinking and cleaning; another, to pour on himself for fun.

He watered nearby plants with third bucket of water.

Now he started getting three buckets of water every day.

The plants grew. He said, I watered them, with My share of water. They are My plants. Now it’s my right to eat the fruits.

So now he rightfully started to eat the fruits.

One day one man got four buckets of water for himself.

One for drinking and cleaning; one to pour on himself for fun and one to water his plants.

Water from fourth bucket, he kept for animals passing by. He kept a handful of water in his garden for birds also.

Now, he started getting four, then five, then ten, then hundred buckets of water every day.

Then one day, he said with satisfaction; I myself, My land, My trees, My animals and My birds, we all have enough water and we are happy.
