India - Can you grow up Overnight ?

Today being the eve of that day which might see bloodshed and brutality lying on baseless and ridiculous arguments lacking any sort of substance or practicality - i shudder. Tomorrow might laugh at our democracy and scrape of our masks of secularism to reveal the scars on the face of our country. While most truculently sadistic people in power act irresponsibly the country must learn from its past. Example - The September 24 editorial of Samna, Marathi newspaper of Shiv Sena, carried a heading that called upon Hindus to be prepared. The heading “Dhanush Tanun Thewa” means Get ready with the bow. The editorial also said, “We will not let the King of Aydohya lose.”

Thousands and thousands of our hindu and Muslim brothers have died in mindless attempts to protect their religion and we have mourned to many times to set cloth for another funeral ! Our society is immature and needs to understand that we are paying too high a price, every riot, to augment our tolerance levels which i believe we will ultimately achieve. Killing people is not the way to prove that your religion is number 1. It is only a way to show others how personally illiterate, shallow-minded and intellectually robbed you are and to connect with God for the sole purpose of securing a seat for the plane flying to Hell !

I personally dont care about Ram's birthplace or Babri Mazjid. I dont care about who was born where or who built the mosque - Thats all history and it doesn't affect my life ! I care about the future, I care about my fellow Indians( even if they don't think like me). India needs to mellow down ! Its people need to take the Burkha off their faces and see that the kid they are killing because of religion would have no clue about Babur, Ram and was probably not even born in 1992 and surely was not alive in the 16th Century. India - i know you dont care but i personally wish that you impress me and the world tomorrow. Can i please wake up and be impressed - Please......Okay , Pretty Please !

MODE: Standby

Dylan plays on,
Blank Pages await,
It’s been long,
Pink Nail polish and a lot of Blue!

Crushing Crowd tumbling,
I’m looking down,
Nobody wants to see,
Is that a silhouette?
Behind a cigarette,
Eyes on Auto Focus,
Mister Pip don’t cry,
Doesn’t matter how good it was....

Pacing to catch an Auto,
Drenched from head to toe,
I scored sitting on church stairs,
Doesn’t matter how good it was.....

I going to plan a trip to UAE,
And walk the streets in shorts,
Dusty roads –
But they’re in here too......
Prisoner in my mind –
I’ve tried to let you free
You’ve paid for your crime,
Silver chains and a lot of Blue.

Smiles, talks and people,
Decisions gone to drain,
Doesn’t matter how good it was,
I’m always alone at the end of each day!
