Hey everyone!
How are you? I hope you're doing well and in case you're missing me, this is the sneak peak (first chapter) of the new book I'm currently writing.It's philosophy under the disguise of science fiction and all the weird stuff... Buckle up your seatbelt because the most amazing ride is here!
(Yeah I still crack lame jokes 😜😜😜)

INTRODUCTION
Everything humans can't comprehend, they associate it with God. Be it a horrible accident or a mysterious shock wave, humans like to blame it all on God.
But as technology grew powerful, people began to reason things. They started questioning everything. There was a time when educated people thoroughly believed there was no God.
Turning into atheist is so easy. You know everything is happening because of some scientific laws but you don't know them yet. Easy right?
Hey the accident happened because the cars started skidding when the driver turned round the corner...... But no one knows that the driver had got a call EXACTLY AT THAT MOMENT when he was about to take the turn. Coincidence that the phone rang at the exact time the car neared the turn?
Maybe, who knows.....
This story neither promotes nor demotes the idea of 'GOD'. It's a journey from a blind faith to reasonable trust in God.
Who knows science might be just an excuse to cover it up for God's magic? Or we are just a part of someone's experimental set up?
Or maybe.... Someone out there is really looking upon us...

CHAPTER 1.1
"Even the particle that was supposed to explain the beginning and mechanism of the universe was named The God Particle (it's Higgs Boson). But who exactly is God? "
-----
The city of Naṭcattira was located in a group of hidden islands called Viṇveḷi in the Arctic Ocean. The cloud disturbance above it prevented the satellites to track it but the weather below was calm, making it a very strategic location where people can send and receive signals from the ground but they can't be detected from the space.
Viṇveḷi means space in the ancient language of 'Tamil'. It is the oldest language to ever make an appearance in writing. So when the islands were discovered, due to their importance, granduer and formation, they were named Viṇveḷi islands. And the biggest island was called Naṭcattira, meaning 'Star' in Tamil.
The islands are distributed in the shape of a star in the water and are connected to each other by underwater tunnels.
Around 1991, when the cold war had ended, America and Russia decided to do something with their technical advancement. They had surely decided to stop manufacturing nuclear weapons but the race to space was inevitable.
So, the UNO stepped in between and asked the highly experienced and talented scientists to pursue their search of extraterrestrial life by staying on a neutral ground.
The scientists were then sent to The Viṇveḷi islands where they built their living out of scratch. There was no money system there. They cultivate food on their own, along with clothing and technical gadgets. And if they fall short on something, they simply had to ask UNO for it.
In this way, they were completely cut from the vile human race of satisfying their greed. They only had one goal- to find aliens and planets where life could survive.
The existence of Viṇveḷi islands was kept secret and everything was going smoothly for the white coats when suddenly one day...
Dr. Mehra was sipping on his coffee that Thursday night while staring at the algorithms on his computer. He took a sip and placed the paper cup on his desk.
"Everything is boring as usual. No signals from space, just our drones hovering the sky." He spoke reading the observations sent to him by the drones. He pushed his chair back and got up. "So boring... "
He left the control room and started walking in the white corridors. You know why white is used in labs and hospitals? Because they are the best reflectors of light. But right now, Dr. Mehra was getting frustrated by the intensity of light falling on his eyes.
He hated them. But still, he loved his night shifts. No human interaction, just machines to play with.
He entered the men's restroom. Yes, there were women on Viṇveḷi islands and some scientists even had families. Who said scientists had to be celibates?
"Oh God, protect everyone's soul..." He started saying his prayer. He was a Hindu man and the fear of God was instilled in him since childhood. So whenever he got time, he started chanting the name of God.
This day was no different, but he made a joke at the end.
"Hey Bhagwaan (Oh God!), if you want to protect my soul, please send something extraordinary to this mundane planet. " He wished and exited the restroom.
***
Back when Dr. Mehra was chanting his prayers in the restroom, something unexpected shined in the night sky.
Usually the behaviour of night sky was predicted beforehand, so the chances of something extraordinary happening there were slim. But nature never fails to surprise.
In the short amount of time, when Dr. Mehra used restroom, something entered our visible range of universe and penetrated straight into the Earth's atmosphere.
Unlike other meteorites, it didn't light up or burn in the sky. Instead, it absorbed all the light falling on it and the flames from its own burning to be as dark as ever. Not even radio waves could detect it entering the earth.
And as luck would have it, it fell on the Viṇveḷi islands.
Coincidence that it fell right when Dr. Mehra wished for it? Or is it a message sent from extraterrestrial beings?
