By this time you would have heard the tragic bombings in India. It is shocking o your homeland and in a city where you spent three years, it is hurting as well. But this is also the time people demonstrate their magnanimity. It is heartening to read that so many bystanders, many living in slums helping (materially even) the victims, many of whom are First class passengers.
India experiences occasional (nay, periodic) indigenous communal violence. But the ray of hope is in how people react during and after such incidents. “I can only pray so that the world is rid of wicked souls set to destroy its peace and harmony. I can only hope against hope -- perhaps, some day these terrorists will attain self-realisation that what they are doing is brutal.” (quote by a tearful poet Javed Akhtar)
