The vicious Iran!

A nuclear Iran is more dangerous than the combining the entire Muslim terrorism all over the world – from Sudan to Russia & to England to Kashmir, India. There are many powerful countries which seem to be less concerned about this major threat to humanity. Surprisingly there are many countries which don’t want to put any sanctions on Iran for its declared nuclear program. There are also a few countries which are not even favoring strict monitory sanctions on Iran if it doesn’t stop its nuclear agenda.

“The fact that the leader of a nation such as Iran can threaten the very existence of another nation, as he does towards Israel,” is a good enough reason for the world community to make sure Iran doesn’t achieve this devilish goal to attain its nuclear dreams.

I find it bizarre that world is not commenting on the recent comments made by Iran’s leader which are very provocative in nature and should be condemned by UN and every single nation. The following comment was made by Iranian leader about the state of Israel on Monday, “We will soon witness its disappearance and destruction.” For me this is a good enough reason to go in and destroy every single nuclear reactor site or even the suspected ones.

This is the time when the EU, the UN and the Arab world take necessary actions to prevent such kind of vicious dream of an evil empire.

Who is a Hindu?

I am starting this conversation about religions today. Although I respect most of the religions and philosophies, but I am not a fan of philosophies which preach violence and I have been very blunt about this fact. I am a proud Hindu and I a big fan of “Tao” also known as “Dao” faith and their very realistic philosophy. In Dao-ism everything depends on “The Way” which follows “the natural flow of things”.

While what other religion can be more liberal than Hindu-ism? Its philosophy says it all. Who is a Hindu? Let me state this little stanza which summarizes this complex and harmonic religion and its followers:

“A Hindu is one that believes in one God who incarnates, as and when he feels fit, in the shape and form he wants. God creates, sustains and destroys when time comes. Many names and forms are given to each with the love and affection of each individual devotee. Our Dharma is eternal, so is God and all the souls. It is our conviction that body dies but not the soul. The old scriptures are guide to salvation and an individual can steadily make his way back to God in the speed and path selected. Karma (deeds) and results of Karma are the basis of our lives. Knowing that good karma will bring good results and vice versa, our lives can be guided towards fruition of Salvation termed as Moksha. Guru plays a very important part in molding our lives and whilst the Holy book Gita can be accepted as Guru so can the word of a saint. A Hindu may or may not agree to some of the points above but he will willingly give his fellow human the right to practice religion as and how the other sees fit.” ( http://www.albany.edu/~hindu/ )

After reading this, the hope for peace in the world looks achievable. It would be so much easy and rational if we just “believe in whatever we believe and let others believe in whatever they believe”
One other question I would like to ask to all the sane people of the world. “Do you think God/s care if we worship him/her/them/it in a certain manner or with a specific name? - and that too if he/she/it/them exist!” – I don’t think so!

The day after!

It couldn’t be better day for all the liberals and NOT narrow minded people of the states. Republicans got their ass kicked in congress as well as in senate. Losing majority in both houses means an end of irrational and illogical conservative ideals of bigots.
To make things sweeter, John Sweeny lost this wholesome RED house seat to Democrats.

First causality of this rout is Rummy, and I hope there are many more to come. The following are the front page images from the newspapers.

India after 8 years! - Part I

August 16th
Immigration Counter @ Delhi Airport
Where is your old passport? The immigration lady asked me right after my landing at the IGI Airport in Delhi. I was surprised by the rudeness and also by that question. After all I have a valid Indian passport which proves I am an Indian citizen and that should be enough for her to verify my identity. Sadly, without even arguing I produced my old passport. There she fired another ridiculous question. “Where is your US visa” For heaven’s sake, I am coming FROM the US, not GOING to US. Instead of telling her that “MORON, my US Visa is on my NEW passport”, I asked, “what difference it makes and why do you want to see that?” … she replied …. “Aisse heeee” .. That meant “no reason” … … .. ..

August 16th
British Airways counter (Lost & Found)
A charming girl was helping me out about my luggage which got stranded at Heathrow airport for some security reasons. This guy “A Sikh man” who was a British citizen (who probably got the asylum in the name of SIKH militancy when Sikhs butchered Hindus in Punjab) interrupted the girl and started inquiring about his luggage. When being told that yes this is the right counter and he will have to wait until she is done with this other passenger (me). His response was, I am in hurry and I have people waiting outside. MIND YOU mister, I have people waiting outside as well …… That was exactly what the girl told him.
I was surprised and I appreciated her response. That was enough for me at that moment to forget about my bad experience at the immigration counter.

Sept. 3rd
Airport Lounge Part I
I have about 30 minutes till boarding starts. I am thirsty and am looking around for some vending machine for water. There I found a vendor selling water and soda. The man was reading an evening newspaper and seemed to be very much into it that he had no idea about what’s going on outside his newspaper world or someone is trying to get his attention for last 25 seconds. After a reasonable wait, “Hey mister, can I have a bottle of water” that was all I said. He got up, gave me a bottle and I gave him 20 Rupees. He placed a 5 Rupees coin on the counter for me and went back to reading the newspaper. Mister, this sign says it is 12 Rupees, I said. He looked at me over his newspaper, and said “Do you have change?” I said No, I do not. His expressionless face stared at me and uttered “ME NEITHER” and he pulled his newspaper back up in front of his face, and there he was back to his reading.

Sept. 3rd
Airport Lounge Part II
After going through, thorough and multiple security checkups I was finally in the boarding lounge. When BA staff started boarding us, they found out that my shoulder bag is not tagged, so they sent me back to the security check. While I was there, the security personnel looked at me and rudely asked “WHY DIDN’T you get it checked?” I did, I said. Either you people didn’t put the tag on or it fell. He told me to get back in the line which had at least 100 people. I was amused by the absurd rudeness. I refused to go back in the line and I bluntly told him that it must be some idiot like him who didn’t do his job properly. Anyhow, after hissing and puffing and showing me his red drunk eyes he finally checked the bag, put a tag on and with a THUD, dropped the bag in front of me and left without saying a word. I was astonished with the ill treatment at every step I was getting on MY airport in MY own country.
Ironically, if it was in the US, I would have blamed it on the staff for being selective and racist and Gods know what and who else … ……….
*sigh*
This is my India!
