It never seems to end…

Posted on November 6, 2006November 6, 2006

Another two blasts in Guwahati yesterday. I called mom and dad immediately. My dad told me he was in the same area the day before. It’s a busy shopping centre so there’s likely to be quite a lot of people around. Mom travels to and fro work everyday and a pretty long distance.

It’s a little scary and unnerving as to how easy it is for someone to plant a bomb. The next thing you know is someone’s family is wiped out. Someone loses a father, someone a mother, someone else a sibling perhaps. And to what end? Right now, it’s more like violence for the sake of violence. They seem to be intent to terrorising the common man and wiping out their own people from the face of the state.

Right on “Trek”!

Posted on June 22, 2009June 22, 2009

So a year or so ago, I was presented with a Hercules bicycle. It’s a really reliable cycle and stood me in good stead over quite a few long trips that I made. Of course, by the end of the trip, every muscle of mine would be strained, but at…

Love, light and happiness!

Posted on October 17, 2009October 17, 2009

It’s the festival of lights – one I associate some great childhood memories. Growing up, we had fun with our share of crackers and other noise creating diversions. The crackers fortunately no longer seem attractive and we stopped indulging in them quite long ago – besides being polluting (both air…

    There was a time when I used to wonder how safe it would be for someone to be living in the J&K valley area where bombing was something so regular that it finally stopped making much news material.

    But now after the recent bomb blasts around various parts of the country – you wonder how safe is it to just “live” anywhere. Yes, planting bombs has become so easy.

    Just makes life so uncertain and insecure.Over here in Singapore we are also aware it can happen anytime. My friend’s husband works there too. Her story: (http://www.xanga.com/erikanissa/544894614/bomb-blast-amongst-the-unreached-group.html

    I know how it must have been. Every time there is blast soemwhere I keep thinking of all my friends in the city and cannot pe at peace until I have made sure they are all safe.
    When will they realise that it is totally unfair to terrorise common people who have nothing to do with their issues.

    I don’t know whether news like this makes me sad or fills me up with anger… No cause, No grievance can justify such horrific acts of sheer cowardice against innocent lives…

    It leaves me seething with anger at this idiots.. who gave them authority to take lives? If i get my hands on them i would like to slowly tear them flesh by flesh, blood vessel by vessel, cell by cell,,,,

    In lighter words, that would make me no different from those cowards…we can just make them do manial jobs for the affected family throughout their life.

    cheers
