BLACK FRIDAY

Yet another film about 1992-93 Mumbai bomb blast post mumbai riots and babri masjid demolition. BLACK FRIDAY. How black is it?? I am not a psychologist or phsychoanalyst, but it doesnt take much to see and lament over the state of US, people of India.... made by ourselves. Where is the trust gone? where is the respect gone for another? We might be on the brink of becoming a formidable forc in the world..... but havent we got hollowed somehow.

The Film deals with bomb blasts, innocents suffering and screaming for their life.... where is the true portrayal. No event in this world originates by itself. Why donte we have enough conscience to look into what we have become. An educated milieu with heart fulll of suspicion, hatred and anger, ready to pounce on any one who seems a bit different and films like Black Friday fanning it to the full.

I am so tired of asking questions.... why cant we get the peaceful and loving neighbourhood back?

Faithful hope

My eyes blinked
Tears threatening to fall
Darkness loomed large
I wish i could stall..

Heart giving away
drifting away in the mist of despair
clenched fist...
Freezing cold air.

A hope all i need...
A faith to hold on
The love bringing me to shore
Urging me to go on

My heart grows warmer
just being full
Of faith and love
And a faithful hope

High courts should be last forum of appeal in most cases, says SC

So here it is again....... the ever increasing woes of Supreme Court of India. Can anyone answer this - Is the justice granted to an individual lesser than a group? Is the justice granted to a wealthy is greater than given to one who is living just hand to mouth? Is the justice given to dead person more of importance than a living person? Is a crminal justice more important than a civil one? Underlining it all -- Does the importance of justice differ from case to case??

NO... the answer is NO and can never be Yes.

The judicial system in any state is set up for one purpose - to uphold the rights of an individual or a group of individuals. Then how can one question anyone's right not to seek highest justice?

The need of the hour is not to disallow certain kind of cases to be brought to Supreme court. The emphasis should be on speedy and just trials. We do not have clogs in the SC's register coz some UNNECESSARY cases are brought to it. But we have it coz nobody bothers to clear it. We do not have efficient and fair judiciary system right from lower level courts to SC. How do we even expect to escape the side effects of allowing an inefficient system to run? And Do we deserve to blame the no of case? No.. we are responsible for this mess collectively and will have to take some measures to improve it... And teh first step is to improve ourselves.

SAMJHAUTA EXPRESS..???

Yet again... another blast that shook the believes of thousands, if not million. Isnt it an irony that the very vehicle of cordiality is now a bone of contention. Whatever Indian or Pakistani Government say, they are equally responsible for the hundreds of innocents losing their life when all they expected was a tearful union.. what a union it was.

I have lost my stomach to condemn any more blasts -- they have all the same gory ends. How much blood and tears will it take to drown these ulterior motives? I am so disillusioned now as to answer this - Not even the blood and tears of the whole world wud suffice. The people who fight in the name of region, religion or even atrocities upon them and their families( assuming all terrorists are made by circumstances- which is not true anyways) , have they gone blind? Cant they see that if a person suffer, its they who are wronged at the end.. not the ones who suffer. By causing misery to one person they are infact making hundreds others against them. Why cant we just be peaceful.... without turning against each other and in turn against our nature human inclination to love all?

At this moment, i am feeling all the grief that people all over the world have felt.. the terror they have hidden inside themselves .. of being dead any moment by any terrorist attack...

I am here saying to the insatiable urge of blood... inside the so called Terrorists.... U WIN.. LETS JUST GRANT US PEACE NOW...... Its not my defeat i am admitting.. its urs... If u think u can win by force... u have no right to think.. as u cant. U can kill people but how will u kill the indominable spirit of mankind... be it a Hindu, a muslim, a christian, a jew, a sikh.... just a single person alive who is a man of reason and justice.

Let us all LIVE.......

To Be or not to Be

I came across this line in BOLD at the place i love most to be, my teacher's place. Batul Da's Place. It has somehow remained always with me after the moment i had set my eyes on the frowning expression of a cute baby... with the perennial question. I always asked myself.. to be or not to be.... a question that is fathomless. In times of doubts, when i am faced with a choice.. any kind of for that matter, i question my being. I is so important , we hardly ever realize.
Just sitting here and thinking about I.. an entity.. a soul.. a love.... a being.. One life.
