Yet another terror attack, yet another loss to the nation, yet another loss to Humanity. My heart goes out to all the Mumbai victims. I am not writing this blog to sound politically correct or a firm believer in the united religious diversity of India. Deeply disturbed by the set of events occurring in the last few days, I want to share my feelings with you.
Those terrorists are reported of being Pakistani nationals. Well, that’s not surprising. The Pakistan government will make all the promises to extend support to India but will continue extending help to the extremists groups operating in Pakistan. We just cannot rely on them.
Only one of the terrorists has been arrested and he has admitted of having being helped by some Indian Muslims in this ghastly act. What a shame! If India has to lead a fight against terror, it has to first find out the enemies who are living in her own land. I am not saying that every Muslim in India is involved in these sorts of acts but those who are, belong largely to this community. Off course some of the greatest servants of the nation have been Muslims but that does not take anything away off the culprits. It has been proven time and again, after every terror attack that terrorists get help from locals in their activities. These people just not realize that India is the one who is giving shelter and food to them. It’s high time they accept India as their own country. I remember my childhood days in my hometown when there use to be fireworks at a particular place in the city whenever India lost a cricket match to Pakistan. I used to wonder why they are doing it. I don’t know if they are terrorists or not but they have certainly got this anti-India feeling in them which when fuelled results in these kind of ghastly acts.
Now because of few bad people, the whole community has to suffer. There is a backlash expected against Muslims in India and if it happens, that will be another unfortunate occurrence.
What is the solution? What shall we do to stop this kind of incidents? How do we help our nation, our motherland to combat terrorism so as to save the lives of innocent people? Do we have to wait till somebody dear to us die in this kind of shameless act? It’s high time we start a revolution and make our government take some strong action against the offenders. We elect our government and we need leaders who are more inspirational, imaginative and energetic than the current ones. There is no place for ignorant and careless people in the system. All this would not have happened if the officials were careful while performing their duties. How can somebody cross the border like that!! What is our intelligence doing? Why didn’t somebody pay heed to the police reports of possible infiltration from Pakistan to India via sea route? Where was the law and order?
Yeah, they were busy stopping MNS workers who were kicking North Indians ass in Maharashtra. Can somebody tell Raj Thackeray that the NSG commandoes putting their lives on stake in Mumbai were not all Marathis? We are one nation and to have peace, we should forget about our regional, religious and cultural differences and stand together to fight against terror.
-Peace

Does GOD exist?
Do you believe in GOD? Most of the people would say ‘Yes’ but they won’t have a proper justification for their answer. From last several days, I have been trying to analyze people's response to the question, “why do they believe/doubt the existence of GOD?” I have categorized their responses below.
I doubt His existence because:
1. I cannot see, touch, talk or feel him, so I don't believe in him. (Not convincing but nevertheless an argument!!)
2. It has not been proven by science. If there would have been someone, science must have experienced him. I am a great believer in science but GOD.
3. There is so much pain I see around. If there is GOD, why does he let people suffer? Why does somebody’s parent die at an early age leaving him behind to cry and suffer? That is why I don't believe that there is any governing body. (I am thinking!!!!!!!!)
4. I don't care if he exists or not. It doesn't affect me in any way if I follow him or not. I feel free not following him, so I don't believe in him. (So practical…..)
5. All I want is happiness in my life. My friend is an atheist and he is having a happy life. That concludes that you don't need to follow GOD to be happy and since there is no proof of GOD I don’t believe in him. (Ha Ha Ha)
6. People all around the world practice different religions. If GOD existed, why do people cut each other throats on the name of religion? He would have wanted us all to follow him unanimously. (Hmmm)
I believe in Him because:
1. My parents believe in Him. All my friends follow him and there are millions of people around the world who follow him. That cannot be just by chance, so I follow him. (Talk a bit more logically please)
2. Although not proven by Science but great scientists and philosophers believed in Him.
Einstein once said - "There is a perfect brain behind all the natural physical laws".
Lord Kelvin - “If you think strongly enough, you’ll be forced by science to believe in GOD”.
I believe in the intelligence of these people, so I believe in Him. (That sounds somewhat reasonable but I am not satisfied).
3. I think there is GOD. I am not sure but I think it’s better to follow. (abe Saale!!).
4. I fear him. There is so much pain I see around. I don't want to suffer. I think he is the master. If I don't follow him, he'll punish me for my sins. I follow him so that he forgives the sins which I commit.
5. I have read articles on people experiencing the supernatural powers. My neighbor also once had an attack by a spirit. He got cured by following the religious rituals. Thus, it proves there is GOD, so I believe in Him. (What!!!!!!)
6. The existence of this complex universe, human body, beautiful flowers and humongous mountains warrants the need of a creator. Just like a beautiful painting cannot come into existence without the artist, similarly this complex universe having millions of planets demands the need of an artist and that is someone who is unlike a normal human being and we regard Him as GOD. (I don’t have any words….)
What do you think? I am not asking you to change. Please, do not. But give a thought for the reason of your belief. Perhaps, you could help somebody choose the right path! To me, morality stands out. Theist would agree with this as it is common across all religions and atheist should treat this as common sense. If GOD exist, he would be happy to see our efforts to help mankind and if doesn’t exist, we can take console that we are touching somebody’s life for good.
-Peace
P.S. - I believe in GOD. I think Atheism is just an emotional crutch as it offers an easy way out for those who are unable to deal with the reality of life without GOD. Thank You.
