War Cry

War Cry
I received this forward from a friend and I cringed in horror and revulsion !









Tragedy should only happen to enemies or any body remotely associated with the enemy - by location, by religion, by country or by ideology. Our enemies are always black, and any anyone even subtly donning the color of white is comfortably wiped out ! They all our enemies ! They are terrorists ! They have killed our children and women and hence we must kill theirs too ! Ours actions are "provoked" not unprovoked barbarism like theirs. Our actions are justified because they are for the greater good of mankind, they are meant for perishing the evil ! Yes a few good humans will also die, but it is a necessity ! Necessity? ! bloody hell !!! It is not a necessity when you see your own child cut in half lying in a pool of blood, it is not a necessity when you see your wife a burnt corpse, it is not a necessity when your mother is an unrecognizable bundle of flesh !!!

We are so blinded by our own narrow definitions of misery that we cant even comprehend the horror and pain of violent deaths. Terrorism has bred in this world , thanks to the myopic views of very selfish and rich nations and persons in this world. Inefficiency, corruption shallow greed and hunger for power are the real reasons for terrorism, not religion !

There is no reason in this world which is strong enough to justify wars. Because no nation in this world has such missile system which has 100% accuracy ! Before we justify any war, ask ourselves this simple question - Is it still justified , if I had to pay the price of the life of the beloved one ?

Today the world is almost coming to standstill because of terrorism and anti-terrorism. It is not long that the virtual shield we have created amongst ourselves will fall apart revealing the demons within and outside. We can either keep our eyes closed till that time or wake up. The choice is ours !

*** I have deleted most of the pics because my sensibility did not permit to fwd such ghastly pictures !

The trip to Madhya Pradesh by road

The trip to Madhya Pradesh by road This particular trip has been very very memorable for a number of reasons ... starting from the fact that I came back home the night before 12:30 from Bangalore (same day actually!) and was ready to hit the road on our Vento with assuring hubby dear on its wheels along with ma and bapi ,the next day morning 7:30 am ... Little did I know what a rich variety of experiences will befall me the next 8/9 days ! We had to reach Bandhavgarh tiger reserve as our first destination which was a 2 days journey by road with an intermediate night stop at the divine city of Varanasi. We reached around 9 PM to Varanasi after a very nice drive of around 600 kms with acceptable road conditions at most places and some nice scenery near the Hazaribagh and Dehri-on-Sone region. Through out the trip, Ma & Bapi kind of competed with each other in clicking photographs on their cameras and cell phones! It was amusing to watch them fidget with the devices and observe

Do not let the child grow

Do not let the child grow D o you remember the wide eyed kid that you were many years back? Those absolutely carefree times when you discovered a new thing or two at every nook or corner. Remember the first time you saw heavy rains and wondered from where so much water coming from. Or the first time you saw water logging in streets and longed to jump in that filthy water Or the first time you saw a rainbow and kept gazing at it. The first time you saw a skyfull of stars and kept bothering your dad or mom to explain those twinkling sources of light. The first time you saw a butterfly and were so excited to see so many colors together. The first time you discovered a touch-me-not plant in your backyard and were amused beyond words. Your days were laced with so many “firsts” and yet the “firsts” never seemed to tire you. Your infectious enthusiasm and energy never fell short of questions to ask from the elders. Fast forward to the present day you – a hot shot professional i

Time with Kids

Time with Kids There were 26 of them all, their age ranging from 7 to 14 years. They do not live as comfortably as I used to in my childhood. Most of them sleep in cramped rooms of size 8' X 8' with questionable hygiene. They do not go to the best schools of the town. Neither their parents are over-eager to have them educated nor do they care about taking them to extra-curricular classes. They were children from a slum dwelling in South Kolkata, yet they had the same innocence on their faces as any child from a well-to-do family. I was very thankful to Kajaldi (Kajal Nag) for asking me to come over to that area to take a Bal Chetna Shibir (roughly translates into "Awareness camp for children"). It was my first Bal Chetna Shibur, and though I was happy, I had no idea who would it turn out to be. Bal Chetna Shibir is a beautiful course of Art of Living which teaches children very core human values through games, stories , processes and some pranayams and meditation.
