I became super religious just to impress my first ever crush in college who was my neighbor as well. I used to go to the temple everyday just to stalk him. Took part in the rituals I never liked but guess what, after a while, I started doing them with all of my heart and soul. I even tried to impress his mother almost everyday by greeting her in the morning ( You do that by touching people's feet in India, sounds crazy, right?) and serving best sweets that were available (we do that in temples, as religious offerings). I used to be a person who didn't really care about god worship before all this.

It did not work because one day I saw the same guy talking to a different girl in the temple's premises. A girl who used to hate me for hitting on HER CRUSH (same guy). Later on I found out through my friends that the same girl informed that guy about my stalking and that is when I ended this stupid shit. I am an Atheist now!!! God didn't answer to my prayers. :P I was 19 years old at that time.
