it was just that it's difficult to find a lawyer in this country, who was willing to put God on trial. In the court, Kanji argues his own case, not because he didn't trust any lawyer. Everyone, including the lawyers and the priests are certain, that such an outlandish and preposterous case will never get the dignity of a court hearing it will be thrown out in a minute, if not sooner. The news spreads like wild fire that a mad man has made a mockery of religion and law alike.
Kanji sends legal notices to the various high priests and heads of various religious sects. The insurance company invokes this act of god and promptly rejects the claim saying that 'earth-quake' is not a man made phenomenon, it can only be brought on by an 'act of god'.įrustrated, and left with no option, Kanji decides to file a case against God on the premise that if God is responsible for his loss, as has been made amply clear by the Insurance Company, then it is God's responsibility to compensate him for his losses. Now, this 'act of god' is that fine print which is hardly ever read by the policy taker, but can be used by the insurance agency to deny any unwarranted claim. for, the insurance companies possess a holistic shield against all such claims. nothing, not even a freak earthquake can upset his life.īut as they say, man proposes, god disposes, or in this case, Insurance company disposes. For just such a situation, he has taken out more than adequate insurance. Kanji's shop!!! But Kanji, is a wily fox, he always thinks 2 steps ahead. it causes the destruction of only one shop in the entire city. The earthquake itself doesn't cause any concern to anyone, and would have hardly been of any consequence, but for one small problem. Life has gone on for kanji and his family like this, and would have sailed smoothly for him in the future as well, but for that one fine day, when a slight tremor of an earthquake shakes the city.
She is as devout as one comes, in fact so much so, that she goes the extra mile to atone for her husband's sacrilegious babblings. His wife, on the other hand, is a completely different story. God is the biggest money spinner for him. Well, it's not his fault really, is it now? The average and gullible believer truly wants to believe that these are actually century's old and rare finds. He buys old looking god and other religious idols, which he usually sells as 'antique' idols at double or triple, and sometimes even 10 times its original price. For him, God and religion are nothing more than a business proposition. Kanji Mehta is an atheist, who runs an antique shop. For him, God and religion are nothing more than a business proposit.
