Regret...
Generally i am not the type to bother with what happens after any deed is done.....i mean, i did the best of what i could do in the particular situation & then forget about it....thats how i have lived....in the present.....
But this particular incident, almost 6 years back, keeps coming back to my mind......just a day after we had moved to Airoli....now we had a doctor as neighbour then & i had not been introduced to them....mom knew them well....so it was dinner time and i was hungry & had just got my food when the door bell rang.....mom was in kitchen....i opened the door to see a young sardar & his mom at the door....looking very tense...at the same time dad started asking " kaun hai? kaun hai?" as if he would jump up & fight if it were a robber....the guy asked for the Dr., i told him he stays next door....they said its locked....i said then he must have gone to the clinic.... i said i do not know where it is....they looked at me for a few seconds, maybe expecting some help, & i gaped at them like an idiot....& they turned away and left....all this must have taken some 30 secs....
Now mom was also asking "kaun hai?? kaun hai??"....so i went & told her ......& she told me , arey the Dr's card is near the phone, you should have given it...go see if they are still around....i ran down...but they were gone....
Well, that was 6 years back.....but the 2 faces often haunt me...whats worse is not knowing what happened next...they never went to this doctor....did my stupidity (or selfishness....i was hungry) result in someone not getting medicall attention in time...or was it too late.....i'll never know....

I fully endorse the view....
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. - Robertson Davies
Best morning i have had in a long time.....
Got up at 5 in the morning.....& went to the airport, empty roads, sis for company, nice songs.....& a nice drive, sunrise on the way back.....must say it was a good morning !!
Only wish the roads were better......

Why Ajmal Amir Kasav should live....

Everyone has an opinion....he should be hanged, publicly; he should be given a fair trail.....& then hanged; should be hanged at the Gateway and allowed by the general public to go slap him, maybe just prick him with a pin; should be fed only pure veg green vegatabes; others more violent, ghastly - like showing him RGV ki Aag (He likes Big B's movies na?)
Eitherways, everyone believes he should be set as an example of how strongly we will deal with terroism acts in the future.
While everyone has been hell bent on punishing him, i am yet to hear a voice asking him to be left alone.....allowed to live....grow back into the society.
If i had my way, i wouldnt really be too harsh on him. He may afterall be a victim of circumstances. A poor chap, seen poverty all his life, wanted the easy way out, was sought out by those who have thier own agendas to take care of, brainwashed, misled, sent out on a suicidal mission. Now he is more scared about his family's well being.....& has probably lost it forever.....i guess i would be kind to him, counsel him, make him live, make him believe in life, in humanity, give him a job, let him develop a self worth, make him a part of society, let him earn some respect, friends, get attached to the world, make him smile, forget hatred, maybe even make him an ambassador for peace, going out & telling other youth how not be mislead, let him believe in goodness of life.....
& then pray to God, some one takes him hostage & shoots him. He should see death coming. He should see all beatiful things coming to an end.
