I didn't want to write this ...I know it serves no purpose other than to relieve my mind of the burden that it has borne since last Wednesday, a burden miniscule, nothing compared to those of countless people touched in innumerable ways by the sheer magnitude of the tragedy...but a burden nevertheless. It is strange how a world that is globalised and cosmopolitan finds itself torn apart in more ways than one...what is it about differences that they linger after centuries and generations have shown us that we ought to know better...what is it about pain that manifests itself in violence and leaves behind the foetus of hate to create a deadlier antagonist in the future...what is it about some causes that supersede very other claim, even that of human life...what is it about some interests that refuse to give way even after their fatal repercussions are felt far and wide...what is it about us that we see some truths as clear as crystal but refuse to see some others even if they stare us in the face...
My phone rings...a friend calls to ask if I am in for a movie over the weekend. I say yes, of course...only, one doesn't know anymore...
Praying for life and liberty...

it's a motley act and we are in the bandwagon...can't say "take light,all will be fine", we have to stop acting and clean our act.
