First of all, let me clarify the the title of the post.
I am an atheist. Therefore, I am a little uncomfortable to even use
the word 'God'. Since one of the commonest phrases to convey the
feeling of surprise has 'God' in it, I always think twice before
saying it. Sometimes, I start off saying the phrase and then try to
fade it off. I'm a little more conscious of its use in
writing/computer.
My efforts to find an alternative word were futile until I saw the
move Alien Vs. Predator. The story hinges on the concept that a
species of super-intelligent-aliens come to planet earth. They teach
human beings everything. And the human beings worshipped them in
return. Basically, these super-intelligent-aliens are what the what we
refer to as God.
Not that I didn't know about this concept. I have read enough of
Asimov/Clarke to know this from my adolescence. Now this is helping me
out. Henceforth, I can comfortably use the phrase; at least on my
blog!
The other day, Ray was using my computer. I was showing him a
website with a cool shock-wave animation. To load the page which I had
viewed before, I used my Mozilla Firefox's History option. And there
it was! A dozen desi *straight* porn sights up in the front!
Ray looked at me in a puzzled way. I was shocked to death. Then the
answer came to me. My friend S. has been using my computer to browse
through *straight* porn sites. That is without me knowing it. He comes
when I'm away at the hospital and says to my folks that he needs to
check mail. And he commits the unpardonable sin of watching *straight*
porn.
I don't know what to do. I think I have to talk to him about it. I
don't know the reason why I don't like some of my friends using my
computer.
