Who is God???

As I sit here with nothing to do....I have these strange thoughts...well,not everybody thinks this way!!!(wierd,really...)And this is what is running in my mind....Who is God??? For most people ,the moment they close their eyes,the image of their favourite God is what flashes in their minds....But my question is above all that!It's not just the physical appearance of God that I am talking about....it's more of what he does.....
There have been several creative portrayals of God in recent films like God Tussi Great Ho,Thodaa Pyaar Thodaa Magic....where we se the modern God in a suit...
Here's what came to my mind...these small things that ran in my mind...
*Clothes...God's wardrobe must be full of clothes that we have seen so far ,with all the changing trends ,including clothes of every place that He has created(Oh,i can only imagine a He)..right from coats,to Scottish skirts,to Dhotis,Lungis,Bermudas.....everything..and probably all that is yet to be discovered and designed....
*His favourite hobby-Painting....yes,that's just it!!What else can possibly be there?
I see him painting those extra clouds giving that gloomy feel to the Earth when he is in such a mood...or painting the crimson of the beautiful setting sun hiding behind the scarlet clouds...giving a breathtaking and beautiful sky with the radiance outlining the clouds...which makes you think if the sun can hide at all..in a game of hide and seek!!He has painted the green pastures,the beautiful sceneries in several parts of Europe(with a windmill and a dusky background in Holland, green,green everywhere with that oh!so-tidy cottages of the English and the huge tall castles of the Scottish), the busy stretys of New York, a bazaar in India-with all its colours..
*Music- He really is a great creator!! He has created the soul stirring Carnatic music...there are several verses praising Him and they are all rendered beautifully,the Hindustani music that blends with anything and everything!!He has also experimented with a thousand instruments right from the sound of water in a glass in jalatharang to the huge harp that gives out wonderful notes when plucked!
*Dance-Well,we can see for ourselves the different moves...
And at this point,I really started realizing that He has given us sooo many things to relish and enjoy....not only has he created all of them-he has also taught us how we can enjoy the chirping of the birds,gurgling of streams,soul-stirring music....He didn't leave us alone....He gave us friends,parents and a host of several animals and birds....He certainly is the greatest teacher!!!
But hey!Stop there.....he also created bad people...ok,they are not born bad...but look at what's happening around us!!People who cheat,who are greedy for position and money....and the main evil-money!!!Ah!How it can buy you anything in the world and lure you into a trap!But he instilled in people who were meant to be good, values.....he made the bad and the good,yet he gave one money,posts,all the riches and the other,good values,kindness,generosity ,yet little money (in most cases...i don't say the rich are bad!!!)...
Ah! I understood....Just the way Shakespeare(I hope I'm right) said,"All the world's a stage and people,mere actors!"Yes,this is a game,a drama that God is staging.....he likes to see the good and the evil together,test his actors with their skills and hearts!!
Now I see Him,the great director,smiling away at his creation-his huge theatre!!!
