Dreams...Blessing or a curse?

She noticed it was getting dark outside, as she crossed over the street from her house to enter the one room set situated at the opposite corner.  “You are back!?” they said in unison. “Of course! Had to come!” she said smiling as she got in to the bed next to her friends. This is what she loved about their friendship. The fact that how so many girls and boys lived under one roof, cooked together, ate together. And the fact, that in a world full of craziness this was possible! And it was the only sane thing according to her… “Let’s get going!” said someone among them, breaking her free from her continuous chain of thoughts. “It’s beautiful outside. Let’s go by the sea side…” They hurriedly got ready, each one of them getting ready, pushing and pulling each other. Still amazing her how a bunch of girls and boys could maintain such a neutral relationship with each other even after being together 24 x 7! “It’s getting dark and I feel a storm is building.

A Christian would be to outspoken, a Hindu to superstitious, a Sikh to fanatic and a Muslim too conservative! So,back to my question again... WHAT IS RELIGION? Since ages I have been fighting my inner demon which wants to get up and question the religion heads about why they do a particular ceremony...or why they do it the way they do it! But I would not dare ask them,else I would be regarded as a total Atheist or a blasphemous! Is Religion all about burning candles, attending mid night vigils? Or is it about praying five times a day and fasti
