Just a Moment

Today I don’t really have a topic relating to the news or stuff that happened around the world. Well, of course there is stuff happening all around, but I just don’t want to write about all that at the moment!!

Right now I feel like writing about everything and nothing, but that would be a little hard to do, don’t you think?

It rained a little today in the evening, n for the small period of time that rain drops were falling on the ground, all I did, was look up at the sky and try to make out the shapes of the clouds. This is sort of my usual time pass when I don’t have much to do. Don’t you just love the fragrance of wet soil, that scent, which is spread everywhere just after it has rained? Well, I do.

Anyhow, across the street I saw a kid, who didn’t look older than 6 or 7, doing almost the same thing, although pretty soon his mother came and took him inside. Leaving me wondering what was that kid imagining when he looked up and how would it be different than what I thought I saw.

Muslims and Terroism

So, I was reading about the Kamra Air base attack in Pakistan, which happened in the early hours of Thursday, on the Times of India website. Well, as much as dreadful that was, what really disturbed me, were the comments that followed afterwards.

It is well known that there is no love lost between the people of India and Pakistan. But reading those comments, it dawned on me, how even the common man, has been sucked into the ever vicious cycle of the political blame game.

Every individual, be it Indian or Pakistani, all were blaming the other country for the attack. Indians were stating this as an irony, that people who have been providing refuge to terrorists finally got a taste of their own medicine. On the other hand, Pakistanis were positive that this attack was organized by the Indian terrorists. Just like the politicians of the world, we were taking sides and blaming the other party for the destruction.
