A good day for the atheists

We sit on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the first very huge rift in mumbai(bombay then)..i mean the december 6th 1992 incident.The previous incidents of terror began from the assasination of Mahatma Gandhi.A person no one in the world would've wanted to kill,and still we want to celebrate him and stuff, that at least was known that it was done by gotse, then, Indira and Rajiv gandhi were assasinated.Till now we have been assasinating people who have done some good to us,the political scene,though jammed with some eminent leaders was beginning to show its true colours. Then, we unnecessarily smash down that masjid just because we feel its next to a Ram temple! why all of a sudden? its been there for years! Did they notice only then?( i seriously wanna swear here)
This blast echoed in bombay!I, kid by then,didn't know what happened but, mom has some vivid memeories!Then,life returned to normal generally,except for tension on the one single day.A movie was taken on that,and we, as susal,went,watched,cheered,finally gave some work to our tear glands,still went around filling the cine crew's stomachs!
Now,once again a tragedy has happened! the whole world is mourning.Counter measures are being discussed, or so i suppose,but ,the richest organisation in india, the bcci wants the cricket match to go on! very necessary! that money, when brought into the economy can do wonders for the country.You may argue that cricket is entertainment,But,who are you going to entertain? a country,which is just recovering form one of the most terrifying incidents? a home which has lost its son? a home which has lost its father?
Why didn't any of the politicians get hurt in this blast?Doesn't it seem to be a too far fetched coincidence? If we see,terrorists are people who are just created by the governments.Its the lack of moral values and ethics in our political scene which leads to all this ......................whatever...
Why dont we create a change?Rather than look for one to happen?I just realised every vote including mine will matter, when we vote the next time,why don't we go for something more than a tv,a kilo of rice and a piece of land,but,for a better place to live in.Its our world..its for everyone,not just for a few!
As for the connection of this post with the title,one my friends,an atheist,was asking me where was god when all this was happening?'certainly if the stories about your gods are true,the politicians should be punished,and i dno,t think getting richer is any sort of punishment' I can't much but to pray for a better place to live in!and i hear voices joining me in prayer!
