the calculator world

recently i happened to have an overnight journey by bus... a midnight bus transfer upset my peaceful sleep... and having nothing to do to get back the lost sleep i happened to listen a couple of techie brats engaged in privat con... (due apologies)... they got my attention, when one told asked other guy about the news that he heard of the suicide attempt of his girl friend... the casual response that followed up was quite shocking... "yeah... i left the relationship... when i knew that she had two sisters... man i cant get into a trouble... taking the responsibility of a family which already burdoned with three girls..." i just tempted to ask... "then what about the relationship that you have entered??"... but restrained myself and let the reality sink in... welcome to the calculator world.. the world of profit... where there is no space for loosers... you must shall profit from every transaction... every relationship.... every second... and it's only the green count that matters... wheater it is a blood relationship... or friendship... or association of any sort.. the measure is what you have made out of it... badly need to readjust... badly need to tune up to live in this world...

Innocence personified - Saddam Hussein

How can you racist white skinned yankee hang an innocent Saddam Hussein... the man of peace... the champion of equality... the messihah of down trodden... Yeah It's true that he attacked and tried to annexe Kuwait killing thousands... but that was just an expression of Islamic brotherhood.... It may be true that he killed thousands of Shiates...... and tortured millions... but that is just the expression of Islamic pride... Butchering son-in-laws is a legitimate right of any father in law... any questions?? And it's natural for a true leader to resort to iron hand tactics to supress whatever uprising.. even at the cost of killing many... You white man... how can you hang our Saddam Hussein... the blood brother of Indian downtrodden....

In Pakistan you can bomb Madrassas and get away

Imagine a stone being thrown to a Madrassa campus in any remote Indian village... the whole country will burn... champions of human rights - shabana azmi's and arundhati roys of the world will shed crocodile tears..... vinod mehtas and tarun tejpals will spit venom in their national toilet papers... but when pakistani gunships bombed over a madrassa and tuned it into a cemetry killing 80 (as per their body count)... nothing happened... nobody is pained... no Islamic sentiments were hurt.. everything calm... quiet, prim and proprah...
