Mumbai terror attacks.. But Lets stay united!

I'm really shocked by the recent happennings in Mumbai, the attacks in various sites. I love India and it grieves me to think this has taken place in our country, always known for it's unity among people, peace and tolerance. 

I don't understand why those ppl are doing this.. what is the cause... religion? politics? ......

Are they fanatics with not an iota of human feel. What do they gain from shooting the innocent

ones who have never done any harm to them? What grudge do they have against them?

I think they have cut off the compassion chord from their brain for only then  can they behave like this. yes it seems to be just a shooting  game for them.

Before we used to watch such thrilling  scenes in the movies with our mouths wide open. Now it is a live show for you in your neighbourhood. Atleast even in the movies the villians had a clear cut motive to behave as they did. But now what is the motive in reality...it is a million dollar question.Will we get the correct answer soon?  What do they gain from putting their life in danger for they know they are sure to die.  Yes the correct motive must be found out to

try and avoid such incidents which are on the rise. Before once in a way even one news of someone being killed somewhere used to create waves of  horror but now such incidents have become common and i think most of us are coming to terms with it which is the most dangerous  thing that can happen. 

OH DEAR  WHOEVER AND WHEREVER YOU ARE WE ONLY PLEAD WITH YOU TO NOT TO PLAY WITH THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT . What harm have they done to you.

People may call you brave and bold but i only feel you are COWARDS COWARDS COWARDS:

Bravery is coming out in the open with what you want, confronting the people whom you have

grudges against face to face and not stabbing at the back like this. You have gained only the CURSES of all HUMAN BEINGS all over the world by this gruesome act and nothing else.

Be it the Gita, Koran or Bible , no religion has preached such revengeful acts and so instigation if in the name of religion is unjustifiable!

But now after expressing my feelings I feel that this incident has made us more united than ever.

for from every nook and corner of the country people are condemning the incident and showing their sympathy Yes after all the basic character of our india can never change!

Concerts of Sanjay Subrahmanyan, my favourite!

Well, I managed to attend quite a few concerts recently, Yeah most of them Sanjay's.
The one at Krishna Ghana Sabha,
P.S.Senior,
Bala Vinayagar Temple, Warren Road
and Ya long back the concert in Ayyappan temple.

I wrote the song list n all but I totally don't have the mood to type it in!
Basically I miss out some of the songs in the concert cos I get a bit too involved in it and later I forget what they were!
Well but my favorite was the concert in Warren Road.
In the beginning I though I surely wont be able to sit through the whole concert cos I had a temperature. But then I just didn't want the concert to end. Just wanted it to go on and on and on.The Sindu Bairavi and the Bahudari piece were just enthralling. And the best was Maname Ganamum in Beemplas.

And the day of the P.S. Senior concert, I had a tough decision to make. I had tickets for this Hariharan concert and the same day, there was this Sanjay concert which I just cant miss!
And yeah I chose Sanjay's concert.
I still regret a bit nnot attending the Hariharan live programme but still I was really happy cos Sanjay as usual did not let down our expectations. And it was on Krishna Jayanti and my parents were damn pissed of for not bein there for the evening Pooja. But anyway I loved all the Krishna songs and it was really worth being there missing everything else but was expecting that he'll sing He Govinda, hmm but no..

Yeah I'll try putting up the song list of the next concert if I'm not this lazy.
Yeah I tried attending T.M.Krishna's concert in Narada Ghana Sabha , but no seats only, what to do!

Im waitin for Sanjay to come back from the U.S and give us more and more of his concerts.

Now I've to try doin atleast a bit of my homework or I'll be sent outta class as usual.
And that too tomorrow is Monday the D-Day ( Dhavani day), worst day in the week!
WAAAh, don wanna go to schooool!!
