Our New year resolution.
Stop beating the breasts, blowing the nose, and shedding tears. We will meet challenges head on without flinching or faltering. Yes, All of us can.
Happy New Year.
Nothing is lost. Absolutely nothing is lost. So what if my brother Indian died on CST railway station by a bullet of a Pakistani national. (by a..non state actor, now a famous term). Who am I to care whether he died by Pakistani or Indian terrorist, the only fact is He was KILLED and he is no more with us today, but I know that the show must go on.
We have seen it all. what more the world will offer to make us meek? We are already that.
We have seen the partition. We have seen killings on the streets, We have seen Razakars killing us in Hyderabad. We have seen killings of Hindus in Bangladesh, We have lost 1/3 of Kashmir to Pakistan, We have lost some sectors of Ladakh to China, and we have lost only 11000 sq. km. to China in 62. We have seen China walking across Assam. We have seen Pakistanis attacking us thrice. We have seen Kargil, We have seen Khalistani movement. We have seen Assassination of Indira, We have seen Assassination of Rajiv, We have seen the collapse of Babri structure, We have seen the attacks on Mumbai in 93, We have seen the siege of Mumbai in 2008, We have seen more than 60 blasts in last 6 months, We have seen Tsunami, We have seen Earthquake, We have seen 26th July flooding of Mumbai, We have seen….
We are happy that Dhoni wins his matches, gives us pleasures. We are happy that we were able to win some medals in Beijing, We are happy that Lalloo is doing well as railway minister. We are happy that Aamir Khan is making good movies…life goes on for us.
We are happy that We are alive today. death comes to others not to us. I will never know the death till I die myself. So why should I worry? Why should I feel frustrated? Why should I even bother that my city is being given on a silver platter to a gangster right now? Let us celebrate and welcome 2009. We may see some more incidents in 2009. Why bother? We may loose our own life tomorrow, but the life in general goes on. Show must go on.
We will prove to the world that we are a tolerant society. We tolerate every thing. We tolerate gangsters, We tolerate politicians, We tolerate corruption, We tolerate disparity, We tolerate cast-ism, We tolerate regionalism, We tolerate religion fanaticism, We tolerate governments who do not function and tell us that by accepting few resignations and replacing some heads, we are safe now. Indeed we are safe, because they told us so.
We will tolerate the killings of our dear ones and we will tolerate our own killings. without resistance.
India is not Israel who goes on killing rampage because few of it’s citizens were killed by Hamas. How can they kill so many terrorists? where is the justice? India is a great country who has taught the world tolerance. To show, we have the best example in Afzal Guru. We are living to the principal of tolerance. Indiraji was wrong, SoniaG is right, Isn’t it?
may sound big joke. but this is the way it is. accept it or leave.(the topic or the country)
Happy New Year.The show must go on.
