I am an Atheist..Is that a crime???



Well this is not what I wanted to blog about after two months of sabbatical..But ....

“I’m attracted to you, we’re compatible in bed and I love hanging out with you, but I can’t see me spending the rest of my life with you. Our values are too different.”

Ashitosh broke up with Celina. He pulled the trigger but if he hadn’t she would have within a month, they were fighting so much. They were both young (20-21) and in college, and were both each others’ first real relationship.

The break up was mutual. But the reason...VALUES!!

Values???

Ashitosh had issues when he realized that Celina comes from a family that believes in the Messiah of Nazareth. Ashitosh, a pure vegetarian, Yagnopaveetham (sacred thread) wearing,Brahmin had a tough time convincing himself and his family about Celina and her religion.

It was hard for him, but the warmth of love ruled above the discretion of the religion...He finally did convince himself and family about Celina and her religion.

But life is not fairy tale to end in a happily ever after note ....

Celina finally told Ashitosh the long kept secret . No , it had nothing to do with her virginity, she was pure as holy Mary. It was something much more trivial, Celina was a non believer an Atheist.

And that was it .. All those promises...All those dreams...All those everything ..had no meaning

And finally one day....
 
He walked in and said he didn't want to be with her anymore and before she could ask why, he was gone 
 
Celina still remembers what he said last, for that matter she remembers all that he said since she met him, but those last lines – “I’m attracted to you, we’re compatible in bed and I love hanging out with you, but I can’t see me spending the rest of my life with you. Our values are too different...Don't worry  ...You’ll be ok, you don't need me, believe me, you'll be fine “...

Being an Atheist is a crime?? I guess its so in this part of the world. Here nothing changes...

I am taking a sip of the coffee. Flavor hasn't changed one bit. I cling to that fragment of status qua.
