Red Alert - Diwali ??? No More ...

29th Oct... 2 more days to go and there u r.. one of d biggest festivals in India. Much sought after affair, everything new... markets buzz... happy feelin in d air... Me n mah family makin our lil preparations for d day. And dis mornin i took all mah younger siblings to watch the latest animated flick - 'Hanuman'. Out of it and head to other places to get a feel of d festivities around. Lights everywhere ... And boom - i get an SMS from Dayal sayin ''Guys plz take care and if u out, head back home. there have been 3 blasts in delhi''. And followin d SMS was d news on Radio stations confirmin it. Had no clues abt how many died and guess wat.. d first thing i hear around is ''why do these muslims have to create chaos jst when our festival is around d corner''... and damnnn i wanna bang mah head and wat i do is ... tell them calmly dat it has nuffin to do wid religion but few bastards who know nuffin but hatred. And ever since i havent been able to find an answer as to HOW ??? How can sum1 kill innocent lives??? Imagine man .. hell! Where are we headin to??? Dis isnt d kinda world i wanna give to mah children. What do i tell mah kids when they question me of what rights did i have to do dis to them coz we didnt get a world dat was so shitty, why then are we passin it on as filthy? Dis isnt what we were taught in school. Mah books dat i worshipped said all religions are equal and how India is a land of all cultures. I still wonder if its religion alone?? To a large extent Politics plays a hand! Whateva and whoeva... why kill ??? Why bloodshed?? kyon ???

Eva since the news broke out i got calls from relatives and friends from all over the world anxious and worryin.. Lemme tell everyone here that we are all fine, everyone in and arnd the family is alright. Thanx everyone for the support.

Over and over again when i hear news like dis one, it brings to mah mind a song dats perhaps is mah fav Javed Akhtar's work, its from the movie called 'Refugee' and mah fav lines so very well get me thinkin everytime -
Panchhi, Nadiya, Pawan Ke Jhhonke, Koi Sarhad Na Inhe Rokey,

Sarhadien Insaano Ke Liye Hain,
Socho Tumne Aur Maine, Kya Paya Insaan Hokey ??

Yeah, what have we achieved being humans?? The most intelligent and special species of God... He must be hurt the most seein all dis happen. May God give strength to d families dat lost their loved ones and May their souls rest in peace!Whoever asked me - if Gandhi is still relevant ... LIKE NEVER BEFORE!
PEACE !!!!!

'Zindagi apni jab iss shaql mein guzri Ghalib, Hum bhi kya yaad karenge ke Khuda rakhte the'... for those who dont understand Urdu, dis means .. 'If this is the shape of things in life, Ghalib, We'll remember that we had a God, who shaped them!' I hope God is watching !!

Just finished reading the story about the bus driver. Ordinary people turn heroes in extraordinary circumstances.
The perpetrators of these violent acts should be brought in the middle of a street, stripped naked and tortured to death, with people spitting over them. Thats the only end they deserve.

And the Peace Process should continue, as clearly, the militants have the most to lose with the opening up of the borders.

Sorry, thats me ranting after reading about the bus driver and his unborn child and his wife.
