Lest i forget

A candle lit held high,  

Honouring the dead

Stood a silent forty seconds, 

Paying homage the martyred

Posts of scorn on facebook

I demand my revenge

Forwards on whatsapp

Want my pound of flesh, to avenge 

 

Soldiers and people killed

Where's the justice I yell

Anger rages deep inside

All thats required, one bombshell

Tiring, its mid-day at work

Messages and posts repeat

My stomach churns, damn

Got to run, forgot the biryani treat

 

Taliban flogs girl, in Swat valley, Pakistan

This video is gruesome and disturbing. But i hope watching it only enrages your mind to protest and curb these deviant behaviour.



Pakistan is a funny country, in many ways similar to India and probably like most other countries in the world. This happening in Pakistan does not mean there is wholesome support for this practice, nor does it mean that people quietly accept this either.

Taliban is not the face of Islam. But unless more muslims come out in protest, it will become one soon. The western and other media shows no compassion for taliban and does not do enough to highlight the difference between this group and the religion it supposedly preaches.

Wanted - Reward Money - LeT

This came as after thought, or after a lot of deliberation. I remember seeing an announcement from the FBI (or US Govt) on CNN, for a 25 million USD reward for the capture of Osama Bin Laden. Two days after the whole Mumbai affair was over, the outpouring of the people into the streets of Mumbai, Banglore, Delhi, and almost everywhere else in India, kept me thinking. We could do something different. We need to act, but not necessarily fight a war. Well, this is one way to keep this man running.
Have any of you watched the movie Ransom, starring Mel Gibson. The only unfortunate part is that the GOI and we in India, would like this fellow captured alive. But i think i have submitted a proposal, and it can be tweaked to increase the reward money and also offer tiers of rewards for live apprehension and otherwise.

The only question, i have is:
Has the GOI issued an arrest warrant for this man ?
If not, all this moot. We cannot issue an advertisement if the person is not really wanted in the country for breaking the laws.

Another note: Will you contribute to this reward money ? So we can increase or even offer the 25 crores, if the GOI is not willing to participate ? We must explore legal ways to be able to enforce this whether the Government supports it or not.

Yeh hum naheen

You never know, what you find when you crawl the www. I found this, a beautiful effort by a group to show as they say it "we are not that" (yeh hum naheen). People all over the world are the same. No one kind, wants to kill an innocent person.



On reading from the website, the foundation was started by Waseem Mohammed, because of his children. He wanted to show that all muslims, specially all Pakistanis are not terrorists or supportive of their causes.

I caught the news, when over 6.2 crores (62 million) people have signed up for this cause. Shows that atleast so many believe. Now if only we could get rid of the politicians, politics, religion, and stupid imaginary lines that run on this earth.
