My world as on 9.45 AM on the 30th of July 2008!

Its been a long time since i last blogged-i think my last post was in the month of April this year. Work has kept me away and maybe the world and its balance did not require for me to be vocal. However, the recent turn of events and the agony i see around me leads me to feel i need to be vocal and express what goes through my little mind...its been a strange last month first with the entire government going ballistic in Parliment over the trust vote where you were almost given to wonder whether these people in there were really concerned about India and its people or whether it was just all about that 'seat', that position of power. It was embarassingly sad to hear the things some of the politicians who had lost the trust vote to Manmohan Singh had to say in press conferences. One politician voiced how it was because she was a Dalit that she could not come to power...i wish she had had the presence of mind to share with the world how she could have truly made a difference instead of being so petty. Whay are we this way? Why is power such a craving that most of us have truly forgotten why we chose to embark on the journey of being a politican.
Shift focus to the recent bomb scares that has the country in shambles trying to pick up the pieces of why this is happening and what do the politicians do-they try to gain political mileage by pointing fingers at each other. It takes a calamity for politicians to make ammendments and changes that should have been made ages ago...Look around you...do you feel safe....?
The Mujahideen actually believe that jihad is the way to a better life....that is not the way to go but in your own language to explain what is required is to be 'etihad' for a cause. United one can be able to create avenues for communication. We have spent decades fighting over land and over water and what is it for....to showcase how powerful we are??? It is not the amount of land one owns or possesses on the global map that defines us as being developed!!! It is the economy of the nation and its progress that highlights it's growth...when shall we understand this..?
My home town is Baroda and as i travel there this weekend from Bombay i do not feel safe for the first time in my life...i do not feel the level of easiness i have felt in the past which allows me to roam free in the city i was born...why does the Mujahideen want to take from me the one thing i have loved and thrived in which is the sanctity of peace and joy that my small city has always given me....
