OMG

Close by was the Karmapa Gyuto Monastery, rising majestically
against the Dhauladhar peaks, the current seat of the Karmapa
Rinpoche of the Kargyud Lineage, with a Tantra School and
beautiful gardens. A whole lot of puppies were frisking about
on the lawns outside the main temple. A half day taxi tour
took us around the main sights of McLeodganj and these
include St John of the Wilderness Church where Lord Elgin
lies buried, the Dal Lake, Tibetan Children's village and
school, the Bhagsunag Temple and waterfall and the
breathtaking trekking route at Naddi, facing the gorgeous
Dauladhar range of snow-capped mountains. McLeodganj is also
a food lover's paradise, with an exciting range of cuisine
from Europe, Tibet, Bhutan, India and Japan at affordable
prices.
It is the right place to relax. McLeodganj is the place to go
to when you wish to do nothing, think nothing and say
nothing.The Hindi film with an English title, OMG – Oh My
God -- is reportedly a hit. It is, perhaps, one of the most
thought-provoking films of this year. Though there is lots of
humour, it is basically a debate between theists and
atheists; this is the subject that the film deals with.

While treating this subject, lots of questions have been
raised about the orthodox and rigid patterns of thought
within Indian society and this might not be very acceptable
to the general audience. These may be questioned and it is
risky to raise these issues in dialogues, because such topics
may hurt the sentiments of orthodox people.

This is not the first time that Hindu gods and goddesses have
been portrayed in Hindi films. Contemporary films like
Taqdeerwala, Shriman Shrimati or God Tussi Great Ho have
shown Yamaraj, Shiva-Parvati and God himself. Foreign films
like Bruce Almighty – the prototype for God Tussi Great Ho,
and The Man Who Sued God which has been made in Hindi as OMG
are examples.
