Thanks for your reply — just my own thoughts on current world events.

I’ve just checked out your own blog too — very well-designed, some excellent articles there (both humorous and thought-provoking).

I loved the Tagore quote too ;)

Vehicle carrying boisterous kids and 2 weary parents.

Dad loses patience and makes good on his threat to pull over and administer corporal punishment.

15 minutes later. Back on the road. Sulky silence. Then the oldest child defiantly chortles, “I was wearing my snow pants!! I didn’t feel anything!! HA!”

Every week, increasing numbers joined the bandwagon, a competition to demonstrate the greatest piety, the greatest anger.

Repeated outrages by jihadists, acting in the name of their religion, had not generated such an outpouring of fury.

Watching CNN, Osama laughed.

Screams for retribution echoed across the planet.

In the land of the former colonisers, sons of immigrants openly demanded the beheadings of the transgressors.

Some even worked towards revolution, the suicidal miscalculations of stubborn European journalists having united them with their hesitant brothers more than they could possibly have hoped.

Oil poured onto flaming infernos.

Did Mohammad truly know what he would unleash ?

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, did Krishna quietly contemplate the millennia ahead ?

Did Guru Gobind Singh foresee what would happen, 300 years in the future ?

And are the Sufi saints, watching from Paradise, now weeping, their faith desecrated by its most ardent disciples ?
