Religion and us

When one person suffers from delusion it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from delusion it is called Religion
- Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance.

Very apt with what is happening in
1) Mangalore (Attack on the churches)
2) Nun's Rape in orissa
3) Bomb blasts throughout India

And incidentally, these are the times when one needs religion the most. As it provides you the strength to endure the pain caused.But its like an opium in the hands of fanatics.

All I need to say is wake up my friends and watch around before its too late and the scars which no time can heal.

The song that plays in the background.(Pink Floyd)

Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky

Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
