Incest of the country
" The success of love is in the loving- it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done". Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa) was the most compassionate woman who walked the face of this earth. The so called “saint of the gutters” truly evoked true love when you saw her countenance.
How true is her word which is also very similar to the concept of Karma in Hindu mythology. The deed and action is your effort – the result may not necessarily be!
Heres wishing a Happy Navarathri and here’s a cheers to the victory of Good over Evil.
I was having a discussion the other day on the politics of today. I was just wondering that a century ago we were ruled by the British. They taught us many things – uilding, engineering, manners, and the most imdeepportant of them all – the unification of India. In return they plundered and ravaged our country for close to three centuries and took all she had to offer. They committed a sin as per the ten commandments – “Thou shall not commit adultery”. They came and coveted a lady who was NOT theirs. She was “Mother India” or “Bharat Maata”as we say so proudly. The lady cried. Her children cried and it was all in vain. The British took their agenda to the completion and if it was not for the world war, the Quit india movement, Gandhigiri (though it was not called that then J)
The moot factor being that the Bristish came and plundered anothers possession and then gave some tidbits as compensation and then ran away leaving the country in the mess of partition. Divide and rule or get a vicarious pleasure in knowing that if u cant enjoy it try to see that others don’t either. They also left us the great legacy of the RAJ and the babudom.
The scene shifts to today. The politicians have screwed us. They have plundered us. They have masaccared us. They have corrupted us. They have raped us and ravaged us. We are known to believe “All Indians are my brothers and sisters (of course its unsaid that the wives, girlfriends, lovers, mistresses, “lovers for pay” are exempted J) If this is true then the politicians have committed the sin of INCEST.
Who is the larger criminal? The British who “only” committed adulty or the politician who has committed INCEST?
The floor is open to discussions.

Could it, perhaps, also, be us? All of us?
Javed Akhtar wrote an interesting, food for thought, poem about this, and about Mother Teresa.
What do you think?
