I am born in a new realm today and i am God

I had thought that the age for Internet to surprise me was over. But boy was i wrong.

I got a mailer from Tata Indicom about they being the first Indian brand in the virtual world. Now, i had heard of Second life... that it was another social networking site. I followed the link to finally demystify what the hype was all about and really how different could it be from a fb, orkut, ryze or any of the other networking sites.

But i was blown by the concept of Second Life.... for starters it is social networking site... but defining it just as that is akin to comparing computers to a better electronic typewriter. Metaphysically speaking it is a parallel universe with many gods. And the gods are the people who are logging in and becoming members.

What is Second Life? Well Second Life claims to be a free online virtual world imagined and created by its Residents. From the moment you enter Second Life, you'll discover a fast-growing digital world filled with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity.

You know it set me thinking... I have always wondered who created us and how is it that we have all come to be... Now the thought that stuck me was we could very well be characters playing out in someone else's Second life. Eerie, claustrophobic and completely possible.

Second life calls me as the real person and the profile i create as the virtual avtar... i wonder 100 years from now what will be real and what is virtual. Will the created survive god... i really wonder.
