Just 10 minutes
Prof: So you believe in God?
Prof: Is God good?
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Prof: Is Satan good?
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, or smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Prof: Yes.
Prof: Yes.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Prof: So what is the point you a! re making, youngman?
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a preacher rather than a scientist?
(The class is in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class ! breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?No one appears to have done. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol,science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Now guess who the student is ????? If you are really curious in knowing the student, mail me at emailrajaram@gmail.com. I will definitely reply and will never say that its me.

Jeevan Ke Rang! Happy Holi!
Now, the above said reasons seem to have pushed to secondary position. People have been made to look for more TV programme, new movies and things which should not be given primary slot.
It is the marketers becoming experts in utilizing the entire potential of customers attention during festival season. Thanks to them that some minor "Day" festivals are also celebrated at least at the micro level. But, still at one particular junction, I get irritated to see some ads preying for customers during festivals.
I still love the ads for the creative content in them. Here, is an ad for a "post-event". This is the first time I am seeing an ad for a repeat telecast. It also has good creative content. Check out!

Stay Cool... The above said matter is a buildup to narrate my meet with Maniratnam, the man who made the world to look and listen to Tamil Cinema. He is one of the Intellect who has proved the mettle of Indian Cinema.
I met him in a public function in which Maddy, Hindu Ram, Khushboo, Vivek and Vivek Oberoi were a part of it. I had an oppurtunity to speak with him for continous 5 minutes.(The matter we spoke is highly confidential). I could not forget those 5 minutes in my life.
I was astonished by the simplicity he displayed and the very trait he follows till now even in the creative media:- HONESTY & POSITIVE APPROACH.
To me he is "THE DIRECTOR".
