I have been flipping news channels and newspapers and all I see this so called secular country in total disgrace. Just looking at the fanatics running amuck and committing atrocities by will and all our government can do is just shoot statements and create quotes that are worth penning in books and not the impression in the life of those who are in the eye of the storm. I mean, where in the hell are we heading with all of this? Innocent people amidst the most wanted people are targetted with utmost dismay, disrespect and disgrace. Why are we playing god when we are just mortals? Sad acts like these will only be treated like forgettable tales but remembered as a friction strike for future reference. Where do in the pages of any scriptures has it been written that we should take lives in the name of god and for the sake of the purity of this land? I mean, arent we a congregation of races and religions since existence? Hasnt this been hailed as one of the most unique cultures in this world? Why are we then burning this legacy?
There certainly seems to be a deeper past and a much intense issue to all of this happenning...but a lot of fanatics are mistaking this to a propaganda and taking this to the streets and burning bridges to ashes. We might need to go back a thousand years to understand this angst and agony to which people fall prey to. Mankind has itself taken so many decisions to which the current generation is unable to fathom. Guess this is just a carry over from all those fossil remains. When are we going to turn a new page? Are we settling an old score? So much vengeance and hatred...
"Ignorance is Bliss" - an inexplicable and diabolical anonymous quote - are we being fooled by just being ignorant? Avoiding the truth gets us nowhere and will not bring us peace because it will be multiplied when we realize for real that it was too late to even heed what happenned in the past. What was just the strike of a match, might be the rage of the wild fire. We never know when an angry mob can walk down our streets and question our beliefs and our identity and by their will...weild their weapon of choice upon us. Its time to look up and see whats happenning around us and and not just read the papers to keep ourselves updated.
I can take a lot of recent and past incidents into account on what has been happenning in India for the last several decades (especially in the current decade) but I do not want to look into the past anymore - it would be like beating the dead rat - needless to say I am indeed aware. What was done has been done and nobody can change that. It has now been etched in the books of mankind's history - be it for fame or shame. I am thinking of living today and dreaming of a tomorrow. A world where we are about to see and are building with our own hands, blood, sweat and tears. Billy Joel once sang the memorable lines - "We dint start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning..." - he was looking at the past and how we are victims of the past. But, according to me, if this fire continues, mankind will be razed to the ground. We will be on the brink of self destruction if this wild fire continues.
Can we not educate our children and the younger generation about the existence of Mankind as a single identity. Can we not explain to them that religion is a way to a belief which is unique to each believer? Telling them that violence is not the way to victory but it is in unity and acknowledging the fact that taking lives is not in our hands. I think its high time that the smarter generation across the globe, put aside those differences and past tales of shame and shambles and reconstruct the world for them for a better tomorrow.
As they say that "Charity begins at home". If each of us can take this simple yet deep message to the ones we know and to those who matter the most, I think this would be a starting step to seeing the past through and demonstrate the true meaning of peace. Let us spread the message and be more aware of our country's actions as it certainly has a promising future.
I wouldnt be surprised if this small effort can turn into a giant leap...

Do agree with you - but rather than asking "Are we heading this way?" , am asking - Who is Leading us??? I feel all of these destructive activities of the past & present are all well planned parts of political agendas that have been executed.. Just as we discussed the twin tower incident, am sure these crimes are all linked & so are people who may appear to be disassociated.. I mean you need Insiders to do the job - so its all related
Whatever happened to our Intelligence agencies... are they even working on these cases..or is it just in the movies that crimes are solved???
It sure does makes a difference in saying who is leading us than saying otherwise. With so many corrupt political leaders sitting on the top to plan things their way, we have no other choice but to follow the same path. Incase if we dont follow then we are made to suffer. That makes life mechanised and people dont have much choice but to do the things they do as always. As rightly said, people are afterall convinced or happy that atleast things are happening in movies and not in reality.
But I am sure not all of us are alike and have different ways and styles to live our own life. We sure need a common leader to lead us to a common goal. Otherwise it will be like a traffic jam in our country with no traffic police to control it. I mean people just head their own way, neither reaching anywhere nor letting anyone reach anywhere.
But will there be a day when things might just seem different??? And then we could head the way we like!!!
