Some new musings
Last week was supposed to be fun
We had Diwali and right on its heels came Eid. It was a joyous occasion for all of us, the entire nation ready to get into the festive mood. India was winning cricket matches, last week was supposed to be fun dammit.
Then came the bomb blasts in New Delhi, smack in the middle of all the festivities, in heavily crowded areas of Paharganj and Sarojini nagar.If I had been in Delhi, thats exactly where I'd be hanging out.Talk about being a killjoy. And the targets? Innocent people going about their diwali and eid shopping. That was IT, somehow, something somewhere snapped inside me.
But as we all do, I got over it pretty fast, tragedies like this only make us more stoic, not a good thing at all.
But today I was reading the newspapers and came across this story.
Palestinian boy lives through six Israelis
This is the world we live in, so better late than never, Belated Diwali and Eid greetings to you all.
