WHERE IS LOVE, PEACE AND FREEDOM????

 

 

There is confusion everywhere !!!!!. PUZZLEMENT between The REAL and the REEL world. Everyone is glued to the screen and whatever they see is made to believe . Leaving no time to the mind to think if it is TRUE or FALSE ; if it is RIGHT or WRONG.

Where are those days when simple things mattered?? Playing with friends in the evening without thinking if we are safe or not. We did not need any board games or video games …..a simple hide and seek, blind and buff would do it all. It gave everlasting fun that lingers in the mind even today. We did not have photos or videos of our accomplishments and friends but we still remember those people who made a mark in our lives.

We made friends…just friends …they were not for a PURPOSE. We sang prayer songs , participated in society functions, laughed, strolled around.

 

Did religion or mother tongue of  our acquaintances cross our mind. ……It was only during the then Bombay riots in 1993 that as kids we understood that there are these two sects of people who are fighting against each other. What was the reason ???? I did not know. I just knew that some of my friends ran out of their houses , their houses were destroyed, their books, , clothes were burnt.

 

We had a very kind and loving teacher in the primary section of our school. I still remember how loving she was to all the students even though she taught us or not. Schools were closed for few days as the tension prevailed.

When things were normal and we came back to school; we came to know that the so called teacher resigned and shifted from our place. May be she was a victim of these riots!!!!      

We lost a loving teacher. Whose loss?????…students loss!!!!

 

Humanity is the greatest thing as long we are humans. Nothing more….Nothing less…

History has proved that we as a country have been blessed with ancient heritage, intellectual people , art, and architecture. This is due to its diverse people belonging to different religion, caste and community . The world knows that we can be a superpower and this can be destroyed by the simple age old tried and tested method of DIVIDE and RULE.

As intellectual people we need to understand this and control our actions accordingly if………we love our COUNRTY, if we love PEACE , if we love FREEDOM……
