We the living!!!

Today I saw parts of Mr & Mrs Iyer again ...Its a well made film and all that...But this time it made me wonder about things that I generally forget about and take for granted....Like will I die because I am a Hindu?...U read it right...not heart attack or cancer....or even an accident...Well the answer is even weirder than the question....Maybe I will!!......Who knows?......There can be riots/blasts etc ........

We are living in an age when one can actually die because of a reason totally out of his/her control....I didnt do anything special to be a hindu ...it was just the way it is......a law of nature/turn of fate one might even say.....

I actually can die someday because of that!...No matter how many times I repeat it.....It still does not stop sounding ridiculous and( a bit funny too if u think about it)......I mean DIE??....DIE???....Denied the right to breathe/be happy/have a family/play/learn/work/exist/be a grandmother someday/smell the flowers/see the rainbow/eat pani puri./read a book/dance/..in short denied or rather cut short the right to LIVE....and Why?.... because of a fact I had absolutely no control over!.......

Everyone is busy talking about chemical warfare/biological warfare/nuclear warfare.....Now all these take tremendeous amont of money from both warring sides......But in case of "religious warfare" as we see around us life is a cheap commodity....


About the term "Religious warfare"....Now thats wat I call an oxymoron!!
