A different start for a new year..

Another new year... 2015 has ushered itself in... People look for good news, celebrations...

Still.. I would start with a glitch..My mobile phone is in repair from yesterday and will hopefully be okay by tomorrow,2nd January. Lost all the contacts and apps... Unable to wish my dearest ones personally...

The good news is that the new year has started off on a completely different note this time around..Having reached Varanasi on 26th December, I have been having a good time here. Away from the usual 'fun' that I have during holidays. In Varanasi, I am staying with an acquaintance in a temple complex. Completely new surroundings and atmosphere for me.

Today morning, we bathed in the holy river Ganga and visited Kashi Vishwanath Temple. I feel blessed to have got this opportunity on a special day. Hope the year ahead will be equally fulfilling. 2014 left with some very promising notes, both on professional and personal front. I expect things to fall in place over the next 12 months... Fingers crossed...

Meanwhile, little worried about my mobile phone... Hopefully, my next post will be from the rejuvenated device.. Until then...

Happy New Year!!!!

Save Islam

I know this post is lengthy. Still...

I am neither famous nor influential. I am an inconsequential man, an Indian, a Keralite, a Hindu, a BJP supporter. But there is really no room for being diplomatic...

I have seen the selective and downright hypocritical whining and self-pitying. The urge to look the other way and suppress the true inner voice. The opportunism and the bargaining. On the other hand I know a lot of sweet hearts, real gems of humane feelings who are as pious and God fearing as any. But today, I am fed up. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH..

Dear brothers and sisters who believe in Islam, you are the experts on what the Holy Book says, what the Prophet preached. Get your act together, speak up. For, a chunk among you have discredited your rich heritage. They have shamed you time and again under one pretext or the other.

Someone offers you 'heaven' for massacre of innicent children??? Can that someone be worthy of being a devil??

Rise against them. It has to happen from within. If you are moved by what happened in Gaza, you should be the first to be shattered by what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria,, Canada, Australia, Russia, Pakistan and our very own Kashmir.

Give us a start. We will join you. You may very well say that this should not be a Hindu's fight. But I beg to differ. Lest the day comes when all of us would share a bloodied face with 'Save the world from God' written large on it. Trust me, the world will no longer be worth saving..

Requesting my dear friends to share this. I really don't believe a tag is necessary.
