" Anthems to myriad lives'' .

A Foreword...

How many times have I wondered. 'I', in the present prosaic circumstances, Wondered that what happens in our lives is governed by some prophecy written by who knows when and lying who knows where. Was it written by the same 'thing' for all human beings ?? Now why not 'he' or 'she' or 'human' or 'god' you might ask.Why do i say "written by a 'thing' ". Well , to tell the truth, I have no idea. Maybe to write this worthless gibberrish,the way it is being written right now was written by it too.
The lives of a gazillion (Ah yes! an exaggerated number ! ) humans that roamed and hid on the face of this Earth.Of a ***illion humans who loved and reproduced, who fought and slain each other on this rock(our Earth ofcourse ).Of another ...llion who are right now breathing an
envelope of un-inhalable gases they call air.
Perhaps ,All these lives , are governed by a random life generating algorithm in the supercomputer of a gook 'Betelguesian'.Now those who have a question mark writ large on their foreheads can do well to know that Betelguese is a fictional distant planet/galaxy civilization(Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy by Doug Adams). .....how unique is each individual's life ?
Perhaps its a MATRIX after all. An illusion ! And we all are truly nothing but batteries to a vastly superior being.Our neural connections the source of infinite energy tapped by plugging power cords into the spine!!
Or maybe we are a part of a hugely successful multiple client role playing game ! A 3D game
where there can be no grace lives. No steps taken back, no levels restarted, A game which is directed by a being who controlls us and things around us .The likes of "Age of Empires "and "Rise of Nations" (A strategy game where you build civilizations and empires right from stone age to present day)
If every person has led a life or id living one. A life of happenings and nothings. Pleasant sometimes sorrowful. A river course of currents and rapids and falls and plains . Joyous and macabre. Having its own share of ironies and tears and misfortunes and fears. And if every life was to be unique and wondrous on its own.. Then every life is worth learning from. However commonplace these experiences maybe.. they all have a genre to hail themselves with.The human 'grit' in some cases , and naked ignorance in others. 'The Human life' is still unconquered , many have tried to potray it.. via Movies, television soaps, theatre, radio, documentories, fiction and the list goes on... Imagine if every person alive on this planet right now would write his/her biography.What are the chances that atleast two biographies are exactly alike. A replica , a clone.... Are you kidding me.. !! only two ?? How come ? Any theory i have that i can prove it with ? No, i dont.

Its just coincidence ,an innocent thought, that 'a singular life' any person( like me) conjures up in his head, may turn out to be true. I am not much of a writer, nor a psychiatrist. But i will give a try to creating fictional lives and incidents. And ofcourse ...SPICE THEM UP !!.. It will try bits of absurdity, eccentricity and be humourously naive. At the same time there can be naked show of reality as it is. No Masks to what people are.. bare truths.. stark emotions . Maybe blunt too.

Wish me luck .. and you people hope for some interesting lives ahead :) Do let me know if it goes trite any where.
