The DVD of Life- How living your life is akin to writing a DVD!

Living Life is like burning a DVD... Yes, it is..Here's how.

Depending on how your life is charted out, God gives you a DVD.... so if you have 8 rupees in your pocket, you'll have to settle for a low quality DVD. If you have 15 Rs, you'll get a better quality DVD... But, the fact remains true- both the DVDs are blank!

Similairly, based on your past life, if you have carried good karma to this life, you'll get a better quality DVD to write your life in. But again, you start your life at blank!

The DVD is put in the DVD Writer... the software is activated...
Real life= You are just born, in your parents' arms... Life, as we know it, has just begun for you.

You then choose what data you wish to write in your DVD. The DVD is 4.7 GB, but you can only write upto 4.5 GB. You select the burning speed (4x, 8x, 16x). You name your DVD ('My Disc' or whatever)

As you live your life, you get to choose how you live it. Destiny may be written, but the paths you choose to get there determine how you develop yourself. You choose a path, you walk that path, you realise your destiny- sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly. And sometimes, its the path that you avoid to take that becomes the path of your destiny.

The pace at which you live your life decides how and when it ultimately ends. We always think we should live upto 100 years. But then, its not true for all. Some make it, some don't. It is damn irritating, but then that's a part of life.. death i.e.

Some will ask, "what is the point of doing all this?" This is where the destiny part comes in...
Well, what you write in the DVD is what you want. What you write in the DVD of life is your destiny. And that's the DVD's name in itself- Life!

It takes you 10-15 minutes to burn a DVD at 4x speed.
It takes you a lifetime to burn your DVD of life at the chosen speed.

The DVD is burned and ready. The software asks, "Do you want to save your project?" You choose 'Yes' or No' and then the DVD comes out, you put it in a case, and use it for further viewing / use.

When the DVD of life is complete, that's when you know its time. The option of saving your project is similair to writing your own book. You will write an autobiography on your life or have someone paid to do it for you. Then life ends, you get put in a case or maybe you are cremated.

Either way, you soul is now in a grand place called heaven.
This is where God puts on his DVD player (I wonder if he has a Blu-Ray player!) and also super sharp LCD/LED TV, with true to life images. Your DVD is played, and then you sit back and watch all those moments right from where you were born (1st data ever!) till the last one...

Then God decides, whether he liked your DVD or not...and frankly, his opinion does matters a lot!

And depending on how you lived the (now past) life, he either decides to give you a better quality DVD, or upgrades you to a Blu-Ray Disc(Ha! I knew it!).

And then the whole cycle goes on and on and on....
