IS anybody listening??

There are times when all you do is want to cry. All your rationals, your principles, the principles which govern your life, your fears, complexes, insecurities, troubles.--everything gets out of a single vent, in the form of tears.

This is that moment for me now. No, i am not crying. Not in the literal sense of the word. But my brain is screaming, for justice, for peace, for humanity!!

I cry in pain!

I just finished watching hotel rwanda now. The movie has deeply touched me. I ve read such things happen, but to see it is a different thing altogether. 100,000 deaths in a few months - is that a joke??

What happened in Rwanda is no different from what is happening all over the world now? We fight over skin colour, we fight over gods, we fight overcastes..and not only do we fight, but we kill. Is there no humanity left in the world?


There were never any Tutzis and hutus in rwanda. Not by birth. Not by nationality. They were made by the belgians. on the basis of height. And the width of the nose. And the hatred was fuelled by the french. And so their subsequent generations were killed. Why? becuase their grandfathers had a thicker nose??

Width of the nose??

Is anybody listening?

The crusades...
the holocaust..
the witch hunters..
india's partition...
sri lanka....
palestine...
gujarat........

And we call ourselves sane? intelligent? possessing consciousness?

That is what we do right? Get into IITs. Make softwares for big companies to serve their big fat clients so that they can buy a big TV and watch it on a fucking sunday evening with their family where they show a massacre of a hundred people in rwanda, so that they can take a big swill of wine and exclaim, "How terrible!!"

OR make shampoos to prevent their hairloss? I am sure that is what i will be doing 20 years from now!

your god, my god..
your caste, my caste..
your country, my country,
your colour, my colour..
your hair, your nose, your height.....your wife, your mom!

Are we going to fight over our mothers next?

Are we returning to the stone age?? no, no, no.....this is worse than stone age. Atleast, then the humans lived in herds and didnt kill each other!

I have heard of "social darwinism", "survival of the fittest", "unipolar world"..............but have never believed so! my belief in the righteouness of human nature is strong

enough not to let me belive so......

I wonder how far will be the day when i will lose all my rationality and kill my best friend! Then somebody can give me a nice lecture on human nature.

If they could kill their neighbours on the basis of a division created in 100 years based on the width of the nose, then i wonder when will the day arrive when my neighbour will kill me coz i am a sethi and he is a sharma.
