Assorted deep thoughts on the meaning of life and other trivialities of existence

In the last chapter of his scandalous but chivalric book titled "Where is God?”, the world-renowned philosopher Virzan Alim meets God and they have supper together, talking about wine, women and divine conception. Overjoyed by the occasion, Alim asks the deity, "Are you really God?" God smiles back and replies, "Are you really Alim?" Astounded, Alim thanks God, becomes a skeptic and starts looking for God all over again. The story is a beautiful allegory of Man's endless search for truth and identity. Some claim that the meeting did actually take place, either during Alim's heroic solitary camel ride across the Kyzylkum Desert or the night that he got locked in after a visit at Madam Toussaut's Museum in London.
