hi all!
love!
sometimes i wonder about love and hatred and their infinite forms. but today i was disturbed by images of gujrat. a state known for communal harmony and peace. 5 years have gone by but the demon of hatred has dripped in slowly & steadily deep into the minds. specially the impressionable , soft minds of children.
some cant even relate to other community, either hindu or muslim. as if each of these communities are "not humnas " for the other. muslim/hindu cant takes name of "the other" community as if they live in different realm, age & geography. the bitter fact is they are neighbours!
a child's mind can be easily moulded and the elders in the family , due to their own insecurities , have created their children as potential fission points. children as young as 5-6 talks of religious divide ,hardly grasping its significance. efforts are on. good organizations & samratians are working tirelessly to create a bond; sometimes desperately to weave a fabric in which every thread seems part of the design, using games, classes even cricket teams, yet...
as a part of our india & world lets take actions in whatever form and contribute in some form to the cementing of ties, as if no "partition" existed.
lets play a holi, in which all faces are coloured with colours of life so much that one face cant be diffrentiated with another. all seems one & one seems all. Amen!!
cheers!!!
