William’s Tales

Just as an experiment, I had published “A 3 – dialogue play” on May 19, 2008 untitled. I had requested to my Readers to suggest any appropriate title to fit the theme of the play. No matter, I could get only one response; but, this post succeeded to collect about four scores of ‘hits’. On the same day of my post, Mr. Munish suggested a title ‘Two Deaf Guys’ in the Comment Box as follows:

“Seems like two deaf guys are talking. Title could be ‘Two Deaf Guys’. Very funny post!”

Then, after waiting for about a half score of days, I put my comment in reply to him in Comment Box as follows:

“Mr. Munish,

Thanks for suggesting title. You are the only guy who responded my invitation. Though your title is indicative, I accept it with slight amendment as ‘Hard hearing Guys’. Further, I hope you won’t mind if I change the same also in future in case of any more appropriate title is suggested by any other Reader.”

On the very next day, I received his reply in the Comment Box as – “Hard hearing guys” is better one. Please feel free to change (in future).

Now, my good Readers, you will recall a very famous dialogue of Hindi movie “Sholay” spoken by Gabbar as “Three bullets, three lives”. Here also, you will hear those words echoing in “Three dialogues, three comments”.

My introductory text is over here. Please proceed further for my post of today narrated in biographical style of presentation with the Notes to be understood as in “Hard hearing Guys”.

A few liner story

I was on terrace of my house to have Sun-bath in winter days. An unknown fellow stood before me with the smiling but queer face. Before I ask him anything, he put a question before me with no any context but straight way.

“Do you believe in God?”

“No, not at all.”

“You may be a Rationalist! Am I right?

“Yes, exactly. But, what of that!”

He did not pay any attention to my words and said, “Will you please do me a favor? Is there any perfect slogan in your ‘Rationalism’ representing your ideology?

“Of course, it is as “God is nowhere.” I said.

“Would you mind if I separate your ‘nowhere’ in two words as ‘now here?”

“But why? I can’t understand what you mean to say!”

“I may prove for you that God is here.” said he with firmness.

“I don’t need any proofs for what I believe in.”

“It’s okay! Will you please answer my last question?”

“Ask. But who you …?

“Do you believe in ghosts?” he cut and ignored my question.

“No, not the least! I am a scientist also. Science finds truth on basis of proofs by experiments, you know?”

“I am sorry for not giving you any proofs about God as it is a very lengthy process to make you understand very well. But, I can show you the experiment for the existence of ghosts instantly.”

“Really?”

But, what I did see!

The stranger vanished before my eyes as if he melted into the air and I took bath with my perspiration!!!
