Before i write let me tell u that this note is a result of two events in my life .... where one is like a sum of many small ones .. while other is absolute and brief ....
1st event - my life
2nd event - a note by a friend couple of days back
we all have some or the religion don't we ???
i m a hindu... u might be a muslim .. sikh ,jain , christian ......
all have a different sets of believe ....
lets move on to a bigger look cuz i knw that ppl who are eligible and able to read this note don't think so (though this is an assumption , yet i feel a very strong one )
lets talk of our country ....
shiv sena fighting someone or the other .... riots in town ... not far back my town had one

all i feel saying over here is m done with talks of religion ... their preachings ... give me an answer
WHAT IS RELIGION ????
As copied from wikipedia " A religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. "
lets divide it ....
1) set of beliefs - do we have left any ??? yea we do pray chant hymns ... go to our respective worship places .... come back and indulge again in same activities that are supposedly prohibited ... and next morning .... go to that stone idol ... " pardon me for my mistake ....and give me more " ... huh
2)cause ,nature and purpose of universe -
hmmmmm lets talk of "global warming ... and have union and club meetings ... but yea ... " HEY ,SWITCH ON THE AC ITS SOOOOO HOT " ... thanks
oh yea god created us for good .... bla bla bla ...
Mr xyz .... wat happened to ur plot in that sector 34 of abc colony ??
Mr efg .... ah yea they ll be cutting down those trees to extend my share .. but yea i ll get a garden in front of me .... ( inside - i dnt care if its synthetic grass )
3)devotional and ritual observances - Mr x - on the phone while going to his office in his car - oh yea thats true i am totally devoted to it ... i granted some 2 lacks for building of that bla bla .....
suddenly while waiting for the signal - a poor lad is trying to sell a small commodity say , some flower or stuff ....
" hey shove him out ..close the windows ... jaane saale kahan kahan se aajaate hain desh ko barbaad karne huh " .....
" haan toh main yeh keh raha tha ... ki maine ......." and it goes on .
4) often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. - well this line is good enough in itself ....
,my purpose isnt here to change the definition in wikipedia or change beliefs in ur minds ... cuz i know that wat u believe is wat u believe .. if m able to change it , u never believed so ...
**********this was almost one percent about the first event **************
second event .....
it was a note by one of my friend ---- vishal kr ----- titled as
We love u n thank you for everything - METAL ( the ultimate genre of music )
.....
now ppl might think that wither m talking crap or m high .... but no m neither ...
anyways i dnt even care wtf u think abt this .. but watever this guy wrote is truth .... one hundred percent of it ....
wen i read it .. i looked back.... and now ( all those who dnt like music shudn't read forward )
i realize that i am one of him or anyone of us is .... lets not initially talk of metal ...
let me ask
1) wat do u generally do wen u r all alone with none to talk to and feel like having a company .. ??
2) wat do u do sitting on a railway bench ??
3) what do u do wen u have a power cut and we are pacing on terrace with cool breeze easing us ??
i listen to music ....
u ????
then i went through this definition ..
A religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
me and all my metalhead brothers will agree ....
METAL IS ONE RELIGION FOR US .....
WE BELIEVE IN IT .... WE KNOW THE CAUSE , NATURE , PURPOSE , WATEVER BE THE WORD BUT WE BELIEVE IN IT BLINDFOLDEDLY ...
SEE ANYWHERE IF A GUY WEARING BLACK WITH LONG HAIR , EARPHONES PLUGGED IN ... IS WALKING DOWN THE ROAD HE DOESN'T GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHAT A CHAP CROSSING HIM THINKS OF HIM .... CUZ HE IS A FUCKING METALHEAD
i m at peace ...
m i ??
no most of us aren't ... but wen we hear that pentatonic scale ... or the screams or growl .... or the pam pam bam ... heavy bass lines .... (for eg .WRATHCHILD ) OR even better FUCKING HEAVY DOUBLE BASS all we do is listen more ... go deep in that ocean .. higher in that trance ...
we dnt care whether god is up watching us ... or if satan is down being happy ...
all we care is that inexpressable feeling .. often conveyed by our goosebumps ... all we do is listen more ..
i walk in my college ... people at times stare at me for my long hair .. careless dress sense .. bla bla ..well fuck u
i went to this concert AMON AMARTH viking gods .. and yea gods .. for us atleast .. dont care abt u !!
and there i was at home ... i felt " man why do i have such short hair ?? " .... we never asked wats ur name ... first we ask ... wat bands do u listen to ... if its same cngrats ... if nt then the talk starts ... " man listen this ..... " "man check this band out .... " " its a crazy shit " .....
we know our gods very well .... we see them now and then ... up on the stage ... no don't confuse ...
its NOT the one with long hair or beer in his hand or the one shouting muthatruckers or fuck u .... no
look closely ... its them .. shouting his heart out ... screeming his guts .. playing that note ... hitting that bass ....
imagine seeing ur god bringing his creation to life ...
imagine seeing them playing wat we worship !!
METAL IS THE NEW RELIGION .... AND PROBABLY WE GOT MORE NO OF GODS THEN ANY OTHER RELIGION DOES .... AND WE GOT MOST NO OF DEVOTEES SPREAD ACROSS THE GLOBE ...
hail metal \,,/ forever
