1 chapter 1

Today science has advanced by leaps and bounds. Nowadays not many believe in the old gods anything supernatural . They believe these are just some stories and legends passed down to educate us or terrify us but to tell you the truth I think they are very real.

Because if we look more closely most of the legends, most of the stories and myths have a very real element to them, like most of us the protagonist of those stories was a real person who made some real difference, so now the stories are somewhat exaggerated ,and so if we take the story of Ram the Main protagonist the hero of the epic Ramayana as an example, he was a prince, he was born in a royal family and as the eldest son of the king he was the crowned prince of Ayodhya.

he would have inherited the throne . His life would have been very ordinary , just like all other kings he would have been very normal person. He would have inherited his throne ruled till the end of his life and then passed his throne to his eldest son, as was the custom at that time.

But all this did not happen and what happened is a story we all know as Ramayana.

This whole story came into being because of a small greedy servant of the very loving Stepmother and the favorite queen of the king Dashrath. the step mom who was coaxed by her personal maid that her own some should be the one inheriting the throne and so she wanted the throne for her own son.

she made her The KIng exile his own eldest son and the crowned prince Ram to jungle for 14 years for some punishment he did not commit.

Had she had not asked for his exile to the forest for 14 years which led Ram to meet many of our famous figures in Ramaya

But all those people would have been nothing if Ram would not have been exiled.. if Ram would never have been exiled , he would never had met Surpanakha (the very hot and sexy but crazy little sister of the so called demon king Ravan who btw was for all i know was a very powerful trader king) and Surpanakha would not have fallen for him and . Would not have suffered the fate of her nose being cut off by Lakshman which lead to Ravan exacting revenge by abducting Sita.

So if we think about it it all started with Kaikeyi (the step mother ) if she.. didn't want the throne for her own blood Bharat, Ramayana would never have happened and all these different versions of same stories which we all know would never have been known Ram would just have been a ruler of a kingdom lost in history.

but one single action changed it all.. and that's how gods are made.. cause my theory is gods Were or are not some supreme beings who created us and whole nature cause that lies in the domain of creators and that is a totally different concept of GOD ,here we talk about people those were people who used to live among us.. and once they acquired a way to become legends known to every person in the world they became symbols…

let us take Ram once again for an example we all have heard that Ram was so dutiful and so fair that he treated no one differently.

he even exiled his own wife for the sake of his kingdom the same wife he fought a war for. This was a thing he stood out in so we can see even if Kaikeyi made Ramayana happen by getting ram exiled. If ram was not this dutiful this honest and fair he would not have become a god And because of this he gained Divinity and is now worshipped as a god..

Ram is also among the most well known ones of the hindu mythology. people think no one can become a god now cause in the old days we used to worship what could not achieve or what we couldn't understand but that won't happen in this day and age . but people can't be any more wrong. yes we don't call them gods but still there are some people who are equally godly Just like ram take for example Mahatma Gandhi his story you won't find that similar to Ram's well they are totally opposite in many aspects in Ramayana there is killing , Ram slaying one demon after another .. romance revenge and his Divinity or superpower was shoen and he was always the most humble and kind person of all.. but if u look at Gandhi he was not a very good child, not had a lot of action in his story and he was totally against violence so people would call me crazy if I compare him with Ram but their are two things we talked about one is turning point and other is the persons nature which lead him on the path of greatness on the path of becoming a god and those 2 did come in Gandhi's life first was the turning point in him being thrown out of the train of first class coach and his nature which was very brave but he knew he could not win from British thought sheer force so he took another path the oath of nonviolence and did not stray from it and that is how he became father of our national

just like a god he has his portrait hung in nearly every house and practically being worshipped just people don't call it that now a days but my theory is Gandhi also gained some sort of Divinity but unlike Ram he didn't showcase it or was not as flashy as Ram's Divinity but he had it so be true to who u are and destiny will provide u with the chance to be a god and this is how my presentation about how people can become gods end here thanks everyone for ur time .

And this was how Shivam ended his presentation at his history and mythology class.. he has read a lot of myths specially Hindu and he thinks all those 33 crore(330 million) gods and goddesses were people who just did something awesome to be who they became… and he could not have believed that one day he will become a god but not like what he had imagined…

After giving his presentation Shivam came back to his own seat and sat down and next turn to speak was of Priya , the girl has an average build , a wheatish complection ,she had an oval face and a a mole below her lower lips , she was 5 feet5 . a very beautifully innocent looking face but she was a geek from heart, she was the girl , which every otaku dreams of. Shivam had just like most of the college a crush on her.

Priya got up from her seat and went to the stage . After putting down her paper and stated to speak.

Today i am gonna talk about how u can be a god .. well.. i have had an opportunity to listen to a lot of people avout their thoughts their ideas and i have learned and just as my classmate Shivam has said to be a god u have to have the turning point and the nature but in this i agree to disagree cause yes u can become legends or even god as my friend Shivam called them but the same formula can also make a demon or a dictator like.. hitler . Hitler had the turning point and the nature(mind set) but what is he know for now a cruel dictator who wanted to kill every one who was not of aryan race , which was everyone except Germany and if u want us north Indians cause we all know that in olden days india had the name of aryavarta which quite literally translates to abode of aryans .

so to tell u the truth I think u will need to add a little more to this formula and add one more thing , that is coming out victorious at the end of it all .if Ram would have lost then he would have been branded as a villain. who was a scum,would cut women's noses just cause they were beautiful or a lot worse stories would have been made and Ravan would have been a god to he kidnapped Ram's wife to teach him a lesson on how to respect women as he never once touched Sita and was quite a gentleman to her so it all comes to who won in the end cause if Germany would have won WWII then most probably we would have been singing his praises.. cause no matter how diluted the bloodline we indians are aryan descendents so.. this all comes down to who wins so to be a god…."

As priya was giving her presentation shivam was listening like he was having the fun of his life .. one thing he like more than Priya was myths and legends and Priya was recounting many tales and legends of ancients cultures and religions. And some were even new for Shivam so he was looking at her as this was a chance of him to look at her all he wanted without being branded a creep and a lot of fun tales.. it was like holi… fun all. Day..

After giving her presentation Priya walked back to her spot and after that this class went for another 45 minuted and 4 more people gave their presentation.. which was their own take on how to be a legend or a god and one even gave a presentation about how to be the greatest god of them.

After this was the study of remain class which most people called the grave diggers class.. in which it was taught how to identify which era or which civilization the artifact or fossil belonged to and this class was hated by most students and they couldn't recognize the minor details .

As Shivam was walking out of the class he as usual was stealing glances at priya when he saw her looking at him and come his way. Shivam thought that she caught him staring and got frustrated and was going to wanr him not to do that but he saw her smiling..

Priya said , I never thought we had such similar thinking our examples were nearly same . Well by the way i am Priya, so rude of me to start speaking without even introducing myself….. as she was talking, shivam was in a daze he thought he was on 7th heaven, Priya was talking to him.. he managed to reign in his excitement and slowly said " hello i am Shivam and yeah i was surprised too but i still think you made a better point I never gave the winner writes the history point much thought but ur presentation opened new doors for me. So thanks.. for that too. Hearing this priya nodded in agreement .and nodded politely and and walked away and Shivam was so excited that he stood in a daze for 5 more minutes unlit bell for next class rang and.. he was woken up from his stupor..

After the classes Shivam went to the hostel . He was on rhe way when his phone rang and when he picked it up it was his friend Rajat calling . He picked up the phone on the other side like always Rajat Greeted him with a namaste beta( hello my son) and they starred talking about their plan for dadar beach..which they were going to this weekend.
