Wow! In a world were the youth are taking a seat in the front row of
responsibility this particular story seems to fit in. India has a rich
culture, and each day something new comes from them. The fact of their
gods and how many they are is not a mystery, Arshid's story however
made me wonder.... His tail was a mystery. Nevertheless, I have read
stories of such situations and non of them have been worshipped. But
with respect to other beliefs we would like to ask Arshid how it feels
like to be a god, an interesting boy he is . A youth in the centre of
attention. What would you do if you were called a god? Because I know
I would ask for soo much I would become the next Bill Gates. Lol
