Celebrate what?

Yesterday when we were returning home around 8 PM, we saw a lot of policewallah's standing near one junction, quite close to our place. Hubby wondered aloud "Kya hua? Itni police kyun hai?" I just brushed it off saying, "They must be getting off the duty" referring to the police security and check posts through out the day across the city which we saw when we were going from one relative's place to another during the day earlier.

After we came back home and as I was reading to Betu, Hubby came in the bedroom and told me the reason for all the police we saw. I was aghast. The day had started so wonderfully and we had so much fun. But not this guy's family. While we were playing Holi, his family was mourning.

What is the world coming to? Why can't these people celebrate even the festivals in peace? Why do they have to become so violent, so ruthless so in-human? Why? Why? Why?

  5. Damn!!! It’s Just Pathetic but apparently – I too stay in that Area – the reason that area is insecure is apparently due to the surrounding neighborhoods. I.e. Tamoor Nagar, Sunlight Colony, Ashram, Jamia, Sukdev Vihar Ext…

  11. OMG! That's so shocking. I can't understand why people won't live and let live, instead of being so intolerant and violent. My heart goes out to the man's family.

  12. Howdy & JLT: Yes..its all about intolerance and aggression but before all this its all about being a human and feel for other humans.

    Upkaran: I didn't know there was a Sukhdev Vihar Ext as well. Where is it?

  13. This is a fact of our society now, hum ek dusre ke khoon ke pyase ban gaye hain, that's all. These anti-social elements need to be caught and exemplary punishment needs to be awarded so that they think twice before attacking innocent people.

  15. Its shocking and deeply saddening to think abt the growing intolerance among people even in everyday situations. I have been getting a feeling, a very frustrating one at that, as I fail to understand why conversations are started in a a tone, it seems with the intention of being turned into altercations. Peaceful ways to sort out differences is increasingly becoming passe.
