Thanks to the week long holidaying that I was sequentially browsing through new posts on each of the blogs I follow that I realized I missed this one!<br /><br />This is a problem that I guess we will face for all eternity. Politicians and religious activists have always had a knack to mould minds to think the way they think. And you as a rational thinker will only come across as a rebel and nothing but a nuisance-maker. The voices that will be raised against such irrational thinking and behaviour will be silenced in one of many cruel ways known to mankind.<br /><br />However, I share your views. So you have another rebel joining your gang. :-) Keep writing such moving posts that could at least entice a few to perform a bit of soul searching.<br /><br />Have a nice year of 2010. I see you have missed reading a few of my recent posts. I guess you are busy with your theatre work. Do read some time it is convenient.itsyvitsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163127814904396350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809483340935764696.post-22745327600850625302009-12-26T22:54:41.699+05:302009-12-26T22:54:41.699+05:30@ANC

Try to make at least one kid happy, try to look after our parents.. friends and more, if possible.<br /><br />i have noting against people who are pursuing religious activities/studies full-time. i have tons of respect toward REAL holymen/women. not the fake ones.Chhayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793691982402313454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809483340935764696.post-86979712087538891872009-12-23T01:27:17.654+05:302009-12-23T01:27:17.654+05:30Well written.

More importantly, we have to make sure our resolve is strong enough to defy these manipulative leaders. Our problem, however, is that we forget too easily.<br /><br />I'm glad you asked these questions.

Every country has these problems. Everyone talks abt 9/11 but before that there were the oklahoma bombings and they were carried out by a klu klux klan sympathizer. China has it's problems, Russia has it's problems, the middle east is full of problems. we don't have a monopoly over problems. what u must realize is inspite of these complex problems india has managed to hold on as one. that's the beauty of India. don't take it as our weakness.it is our strength.Ajaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096062450350922403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809483340935764696.post-11793361832649227872009-12-22T14:59:19.463+05:302009-12-22T14:59:19.463+05:30@Amribit

You know its not the common man who has a problem, its politics that generates that seed in people's mind.We grow up together, eat at each others homes, treat each others parents as our own, love our friends, it never matters who is who...I love being an Indian, because I know that I am a part of a country where there is no religious bias, and whatever has been created has been creative to meet selfish desires, making the common man an instrument. I hope people realise the problem that exists..the real problem, that its not us but a selfish few who create problems. How does it matter what religion our neighbour or our countrymen belong to, how does it matter whether the shop we get our goods from is run by a hindu or a muslim, how does it matter at all...we are a nation..a united whole, and whereever we may be ..in any part of the world..we should remember that being humane is more imp, coz no religion allows its followeres to destroy peace..<br />Its time that the new generation looks beyong such prejudice and peace and harmony rules our world.<br />Its a beautiful post Ajai, thanks a lot!A New Beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292758705734074064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809483340935764696.post-86671349674929741002009-12-20T23:02:46.781+05:302009-12-20T23:02:46.781+05:30I blv in that someone who lives inside us. its cal...I blv in that someone who lives inside us. its called our consciousness. for me, its that godly part. I know, if i hurt someone deliberately, it will come back to haunt me, today or tomorrow.<br /><br />For every religious fanatic, i have just one Q, How can anyone of us, doesnt matter of which religion, claim to be the care-taker of God? God does not need temples and mosques and churches. We need them. they are just a place where we can gather to pray, nothing more than that. not for me.<br /><br />i like th way you have sketched your thoughts. i was as old as u on that day, and yes, it has left some scars on my soul too. <br /><br />i hope nothing like this ever happens again, cz no matter which party/leader does it, only one person will suffer, the common man/woman<br /><br />nice reading :)Chhayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793691982402313454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809483340935764696.post-11261030069356116262009-12-20T20:19:45.622+05:302009-12-20T20:19:45.622+05:30Its time to move on..

It is just a man-made divide. And we often fail to look beyond those boundaries and are not able to see the underlying unity. I once wrote a post about such underlying unity: <a href="http://literarybonanza.blogspot.com/2009/02/who-am-i.html" rel="nofollow">Who am I?</a>The Literary Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421174480905206379noreply@blogger.com
