Militants show their true colours

When you are proud to kill someone, you must be very much convinced that the person is a threat to the world and does not deserve to exist. You must also be 'dead sure' (whatever formed the term), that you are on the path of righteousness! What, then, is the motivation behind the burnings and bomb threats to the Indo-Pak buses? Are you sure that there must always be an ongoing war between the two nations? Are you sure that that is what you want, Mr. Terrorist?

Look how they have been exposed. They call themselves the fighters for the Kashmiri people, and yet don't think twice before burning up their houses, killing their children and blasting away kinsfolk. Fie on you, O self-styled moral police, because the average school kid has more understanding than you do and will not kill just for fun! If you are fighting for peace, how do you think you will usher in that by doing demolishing the roads to peace... Peace that has been asked for by the people, for the people and perhaps, of the people???

    Another irony is that they call their struggle as 'jehad'...which actaully according to their religion is a fight with your own self to change for the better..

    Islam is one most peaceful religions..It doesnt support violence at all...still they try to prove themselves spiritually correct.

    I read this in TOI ...really liked it ..

    " I broke the sword and forged sickles out of it" -Nund Reshi kasmiri poet.

    I think things are changing in the valley..Indo -Pak realtions are moving in the right direction.. though the deaths continue..i feel if militants dont get external support ...their strength will diminish

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when ...

Are Indians the most racist in the world?

In short, no I don't think so. We are the most diverse, yes, but no we aren't the most racist people in the world. I see this being thrown around quite a bit, and it hurts to see even educated people blatantly criticizing our own countrymen without thinking it through. This post is directed at addressing that question. I am going to support my point with five arguments. First, I believe what we mistake for racism (most of the time) is actually rivalry and some of the things that come with it. Second, the immensely diverse nature of our society and country is actually an asset which we confuse with xenophobia to call ourselves racists. Third, yes, there will always be some among us and others who will be intrinsically anti-social and absolutely racist - but you cannot disown them, as the " No true Scotsman " fallacy points out. And oh, lest I forget, some of us do behave in a manner that portrays a negative/uncultured image to the outside world about Indians. These p...

A day in the life of a new Indian housewife in the US

Thank you everybody for all those comments on the last post - yeah it made me feel a lot better :). Actually, I was curious about who are the 181 readers who show up on FeedBurner but I don't get to see them ever on comments, etc. But now I know - cheers! :) About this post - the editor of a magazine from Bangalore had asked me to write a chatty gossip column (you know he found the right person, didn't you? :P). However, it has been three weeks since I have sent the article and he hasn't replied to my emails or my phone call. So I'm publishing this article here. If he contacts me, I'll write another article for the magazine again. Enjoy :) --------------- 7:00 am – I woke up. No new Orkut scraps – life is boring. Nope, my cute hubby is still asleep. His drooling mouth looks so cute. Nudged him – leaving bed now. 8:00 am - Hubby still in bed. This has become a daily routine. You try to wake him up, kiss him, and he wants to drag you into bed. Then a littl...
