My dear MOM

It's the end of an era. My creator, my life, my everything, the person who brought me to this world, my dear mother, Smt. V. V. Ratnam, passed away on 8-12-2008, leaving us all in deep sorrow. The whole world has come crashing down, just unable to digest the fact that she is no more. Just don't know how we will be able to overcome this moment in our life. Unable to continue more on this topic.

May her soul rest in peace.

Terror strikes

What's happening to mankind? What are we going to teach the next generation? Where are the answers to all the questions your tiny tots ask you about the horrifying visuals of the frequent terror strikes they see on TV?
Questions, questions and questions -- but NO answers.
The politicians care a damn about the security of the common man. It is a shame that time and again, after such acts, our 'so-called' leaders appear on television in their best attire and say things like "India will remain strong", "We condemn such attacks", "We will take strict action", "We stand united at this hour" etc.
As any other citizen of the nation, I too am confused as to what will bring about a change in this country. Would things have really been better had we still been under British rule? Sixty years of Independence and look where we are? VERY SICKENING.
Has everyone started thinking like me? Will such thoughts from a billion rational-thinking Indians lead to a renaissance? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
God -- answer my prayers.
JAI HIND. MERA BHARAT MAHAAN.
