Blasts in Bombay. More communal tension. "When it rains it pours". Guess some people have nothing better to do than murder & maim innocents, who have no personal quarrel with them. Call it jehad, call it the crusades. Its our old friend politics at its worst. The Eagle's Song "The Last Resort" comes to mind..
"Who will provide the grand design,
Of what is yours and what is mine?
For there is no more "new frontier"..
We have got to make it here.
Satisfy our endless needs,
and justify our bloody deeds.
In the destiny. In the name of God."
At no point am I questioning the existence of God or of the validity of his/her message. It is we and our blind faith in men of the cloth who have corrupted things. "Religion is the opium of the masses", "Beware of the black man"..... You name it, we've screwed it up. But there is hope. There is always hope, though we may lose sight of it momentarily. Like when your dog gets lost for a couple of days. Or when you dont get into the B school you really wanted. I firmly believe that things are never as bad as they might seem. Its just matter of holding ur nerve, gritting your teeth & holding on.
