Orissa... :(

Woke to a wonderful Sunday morning….while lying in the bed I just picked the mobile to see the time..11:11...Wow……That’s a perfect Sunday morning anyone could ever think of…You jealous..I bet you are…but Laziness got the better of me…I just turned the other side to find the newspaper at the pillow…One look at the front page and I was ashamed of my selfish attitude…Here I am enjoying my day...Waking lazily to see the morning sun…and there are people being burnt alive…families striving to survive…
Shocked!! How conveniently we decide what to think and what not to think …
On the front page of the newspaper was a picture showing a guarded Baptist church and fire burning around it… I was really disturbed to see the current situation in Koraput district of Orissa where people have ran for their lives to take shelter in a forest…because the mobs (VHP “Leaders” to be precise… ) have torched the entire village (where Christians lived)..To “protest” against the murder of their local leader “swami Laxmananand” The “angry” mobs burnt down an orphanage…a lady was burnt alive…it was not enough to avenge the revenge so they burnt the churches..Villages…burnt a 35 yr old man (handicapped) in front of his helpless family members…
What revenge they are taking...Fuelling fire; revenge, angst, hatred in people’s hearts for each other on the basis of community…Does being a Hindu or being a Christian or being a Muslim make you a better person than the other...… Do these communities teach better lessons than the common universal laws of humanity...or they do but self proclaimed guards of the religion (be it VHP or SIMI or any other organization) conveniently use the laws of their religions to fuel their thirst for power …
I apologize if I hurt someone’s religious sentiments but I am sure no religion teaches you to kill or burn people for your own personal interest or for that matter “For the so-called common welfare of the religion”
God is benevolent…he forgives…he wants us to love each other and live peacefully….and what a mockery...These communal leaders do to “please” God
Ha…What an irony…These 50 yr old men ….these “pure” messengers of God brainwash thousand of youth in the garb of religious sentiments.. For being in office for “5 yrs”
For their political career of 20-30 yrs… (I am sure they will be killed before that...Courtesy the hatred which they have planted in people…)…they divide people on the basis of community…they destroy so many lives leaving so many orphans…so many children permanently reveling under the shock of seeing their own parents being brutally murdered in front of their own eyes(can you even imagine that!!!)…Their fault: they belong to a different “minority” community…
These political leaders will die in another 20-30 yrs…they won’t live for long…but the perpetual harm they have done to country’s harmony will last generations and centuries…
I am not a christian..not a christian supporter or not even a Hindu protester...but above all this I feel I am a human being...I can't kill a fellow human ...
How can their conscience let them sleep after seeing the crying children and torched bodies…..
I feel terribly sorry at the ongoing state of affairs in the country … Not even god can help this country and the people…

read it some where....was Impressed...:)

A wispy old man was sitting in a bus holding a bunch of fresh flowers. Across the aisle was a young girl whose eyes came back again and again to the man’s flowers. The time came for the old man to get off. Impulsively he thrust the flowers into the girl’s lap “ I can see you love those flowers, and I think my wife would like for you to have them, I‘ll tell her I gave them to you.”
The girl accepted the flowers, watched the old man get off the bus and walk through the gate of a small cemetery….

To you...Corbett!!

For Long I have been waiting for a peaceful night like this..to think about Corbett...a wonderful trip.. :)
Anticipated to be one of my worst trips....the vacation was a wonderful holiday for me.....
For me..the best part about corbett..was Water ...water is actually life to me..in every sense...
U can feel all beautiful things when you are surrounded with water..You can dream endless....
You can gaze endlessly at the splashing waves...one giant one covering the other...water has no boundaries...water has no shape...it teaches you so many lessons for your life...
water has gravity...it pulls you....water welcomes everyone with open arms..Water is just amazing.......River is just mesmerising.....Rain is just wonderful...
Rain just drenches you in its true spirit....it simply engulfs you with the feeling of water for ages...
Clouds...corbett had one of the amazing cloud formations I have ever observed...
Lying in one of the sleeping chairs in the rain...i had the opportunity to witness clouds fighting under the vast expanse of sky....
Another wonderful moment was the open jeep safari...the wind got me completely....the greenery refreshed the eyes and soul with a freshness long seeked.....

I have missed telling how beautiful the deer were....we cudnt spot a single tiger but still the safari was awesome......I have missed the Rafting experiences... :) yes i rafted as well......I have missed telling how wonderful the view of River kosi was...but....I can go on writing about my experience with nature for nay length of time...so better let this night remain serene and calm...let me put down the pen...
:)
One last thing....Do Visit corbett..... :)

Dedicated to our dear parents!!

Everyone is fighting amongst relations;
amongst himself; amongst tensions....
This world will end somewhere...But these tensions nowhere...
When the white beard was black...concern for relations none lack...
people cared for each odr...wife,a sister, a brother...
concern was so high..people dint even care to die..
But now everybody has grown...people only come to mourn..
How does it matter? ..if u die...if u live...
u r only cared for taking ;none cares to give...
Parents lose touch from their child...
..The children..just care a mild.......
it makes me wonder.....is this a relation??
full of insult and humiliation.....
an atmosphere of isloation....
an environ of tension....
dont u thnk ...we r losing the touch with our own soul...
a lonely fish in the golden bowl!!!!
