Reality

It is the reality.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with cupcakes, several cans of root beer and started on his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She was sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed the lady looked hungry so he offered her a cupcake. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him. Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer as well. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling without saying a word.

As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how tired he was and wanted to go home. He got up to leave but before he had gone no more than a few steps, he turned around and ran back to the old woman, giving her a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy arrived home his Mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked, What has made you so happy today. He replied, I had lunch with God. Before his mother could respond he added, you know what She's got the most beautiful smile in the whole world!

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face. He asked, Mother, what has made you so happy today She replied, I ate cupcakes in the park with God. And before her son could reply, she added, You know, he is much younger than I expected.

Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime....

Delhi Bomb Blasts

delhi bomb blasts


3O people got killed, and more than 200 peole got injured in yesterday's blast.Every sane human being condemned this act of terrorism throughout the globe.Indian politicians as usual termed it as"an cowardly act", and appealed for patience and social harmony..But what about the common innocent people who got killed in these serial blasts.....What about their family members and their near and dear ones!!! This was the fourth serial blast this year after jaipur,Bangalore and ahmedabad..Indian Mujahidin claimed resonsibility for all the four blasts..

"In the name of Allah, Indian Mujahideen strikes back once more. ... Do whatever you can. Stop us if you can," said the message.The Indian Mujahideen was unknown before May, when it claimed responsibility for a series of bombings in the western city of Jaipur that killed 61 people. The group also said it was responsible for July blasts in the western state of Gujarat that killed at least 45...

The main purpose of the blasts apart from killing innocent civilians is to install fear in the minds of common Indians and create a deep rift between the Hindus and Muslims of India.............Majority of Indians irrespective of their caste,creed,colour and religion are law abiding and peace loving people.eye for an eye will eventually make everyone blind..

The big question however remains"what is our government doing to prevent these type of incidents?"...This was not the first blast nor the last, looking at the statistics, there will be a bomb blast again within next few months and again precious human lives lost...be prepared to listen to that standard reply from politicians,"This is a cowardly act and we condemn this act of voilence"...and life will move on as usual...for most of us...but for some who have lost their near and dear ones, life will never be same........never....

Is it blast for our secularism. Do we need such secularistic life... ...
