Belief is individual dependent.the motive is to move forward and rise from scratch .how we do it doesn't matter.but I believe in such dire situation one tends to go with Arnav s view.How did he (god) allow this to happen at all!?

hmm, i have met young adults who declare themselves as atheist. and no, they are not angry about anything. their argument is, 'prove to me there is a higher power, and then i will believe'. and these are people who come from a background like most of us, been to temples with their parents, heard stories from mythology while growing up... the works. may be they have it all and hence choose not to believe? or is it considered "modern" thinking? sure, it boils down to a lack of knowledge, but where does the justification for a non belief come from? i have never been able to wrap my mind around it...

Amazing update.

I think that every action has a reaction. If we chose to mess with nature by destroying it in every way, how can we blame god or nature for our destruction.

We people has become so heartless. No care for our world. Keep on polluting it. It's our doing that climate is changing. Still we are not blaming god and others.

Everyone is fighting for god but no god come and says that this religion is true. No one can prove who Is right. only your experience can tell what truth is.

Thanks for brilliant update.

My mom goes to these Upanishat classes every week. She was telling me today that when we start leading life the way Krishna says in Karmayoga or Ishopanishat we achieve greatness.

What I don't get is that these ancient scriptures have been present during times of Rama and Krishna. Yet we saw Ramayan and Mahabharata. Why didn't those people follow what was preached to them?

Evolution is like radioactive element. The moment radioactive element is exposed, it begins its decay. Except for the moment when it exists for the first time, the radioactive element is pure. After that there is just decay till it completely changes its elemental properties. Evolution cannot get better. Every passing day, we decay a little bit more and thus reducing the life of planet.

33. Sense of Ending

"I am sorry." Arnav says softly.

"I am sorry too." Khushi replies.

They don't expand on their apologies. Just that it's said, is enough.

"We've come a long way from our old lives." He says.

"Less than a year ago, my biggest worry was finding funds for post grad." She feels nostalgic.

"And now you are a zombie hunter." He says with pride. He has seen her body first hand, closely and intimately to notice how the physical scars on her body have replaced where innocence once shone. He has taken her apart just with his hands and tongue, and watched her slowly stich herself back up. She is made up of too many sharp edges for anyone else to get near. In moments like these, the edges soften and the old Khushi bleeds through.

"As you are." She trills. "One day we are going to go out and not come back. Isn't that a sad fact of our life?" She asks.

He shrugs. "Once you come back and see people you love, you thank for being alive for yet another day."

"Do you have to contradict me every time? And when did you start talking like a romantic sap?" She huffs in annoyance. He laughs.

"Remember the first day we met?" He asks a moment later.

"Payal tried to kill herself that day because the guy she liked dumped her. Now look at her." Khushi cocks her towards courtyard where Payal is playing volleyball with handful of soldiers.

"I keep thinking what if we didn't meet. What if I decided to stay near my sister's room? What if I didn't go to grocery store that day? What if you called me a creep and didn't give me your address and number? You know?"

"What are you suggesting?" She asks, surprised at this outburst.

"I never did impulsive things Khushi. However every interaction I initiated with you was impulsive. Don't you see?" He is working himself up to something that she cannot understand.

"See what?"

He smiles softly. "If you see how the events have unfolded, we are all together at this moment is because I had an impulsive moment."

Khushi laughs. "Aren't you giving us a little too much credit?"

He joins in her laughter. "Maybe. But it's a nice thought."

"Guys?" Akash interrupts, looking rattled. "Arjun is back. Arnav, you should see who he brought with him."

Sharing a look, Khushi and Arnav sprint to the hanger.

Sitting on a crate and covered in blanket, was Anjali.
