Behind the Ghost

Most people believe in God. I wanted to see The Ghost.
There have been N-number of Ghost sitings by various Men around the World. George Bush and the Rest of the World are constantly in fear of Osama Bin-Laden. They should have left the job to the Ghost. Ghost's, that should have been became, from the murders Osama had committed...
Why does a Ghost always attacks an Illiterate Villager who worships God and does not attack Me, who doesn't?
We assume that Mobile Phones, Televisions and Computers does not become the Ghost. Since we call them Non-Living Things. But we don't see or talk about a Ghost of a Mosquito or a Cockroach, Rats or Elephants, Birds or Pigs, and all those Crabs & Fishes we have been murdering endlessly.
Should a Species must be well developed to "become" a Ghost. Or it should be well developed to "create" one?
We don't see a Ghost in a movie theater, playing their movies. No Radar detects them, no Satellite traces them. Its only men who see it and talk about them, since generations, ages and centuries.
And they all say, an unsatisfied life becomes a Ghost after its death, but I am yet to see a satisfied man, Alive.
And I wish to see the Ghost of a Bhagat Singh and N-number of Heroes who ended their journey... half way.

Three Years

I still remember the night, exactly same time, three years before. There were just few tired, neighboring women present, in the hall.
For a couple of hours only i had time to speak to my Mother, about how everything happened.
She just listened. She must have hated me for not telling her before. Even to her.
I explained her that it must be for good, that it happened soon.
We both knew he suffered, but very less when compared to what was predicted and what i had imagined.
My father died at about 11:30pm, 5th Oct, 2005.
Next day my mother was speaking to some relatives about the trauma i had undergone those 2 weeks, prior to the incident. Since i was the only who knew that his cancer has gone way beyond.
Sometimes, i am not sure, i have a feeling, may be a doubt, that if i had treated my father at the Apollo Hospital or an equivalent, rather than the Government General Hospital, would he have lived for SOME MORE TIME? OR would he have suffered SOME MORE PAIN?
The fear of how to generate funds for the treatment, made us take a decision, about the General Hospital. But, if my father had died, after the treatment from Apollo hospital, may be my conscience wouldn't be as worried as it was before.
But, if my father had never smoked in his life, he wouldn't have visited any of the above hospitals, and had definitely lived this day.
