This is an excerpt of a news I read in Hindustan Times:
>>>
New Delhi, January 23, 2010: A 32-year-old man was beaten to death by two young men after he protested against their urinating on his wall in west Delhi, police said. According Delhi Police data, the Capital saw some bizarre murder cases in 2009 as far as motives are concerned. Among these, figure cases like a man murdering his neighbour because the latter had kicked his dog at Ranhola village in Outer Delhi. In another case, a man was killed for breaking the queue at a public toilet in Civil Lines. In New Friends Colony in South Delhi, a man was killed for refusing to let another person make a call from his cell phone.

Considering the above, I would say that next time be careful if you decide to stop someone from urinating on your property, to kick your neighbor's dog, to break the queue at a public toilet, or to refuse to let a stranger make a call from your cell phone. But above all, next time, if somebody stops you from urinating on their property, your neighbor or anyone kicks your dog, someone breaks the queue at a public toilet, or a stranger refuses to let you make a call from their cell phone, then you definitely know what you have to do.

love and life
Both love and life give more pain than pleasure, more woe than happiness, more tears than smiles.

drought
I have never seen such a severe drought in my life. I feel as if this is the only drought I have witnessed. Here in Delhi, till now, the rainfall has been just ten percent what it used to be.

four questions
The first two of these questions have been troubling me from a long time now, and the last two came up recently as a result of a news:
1. By any means, by any chance, can there be any trace of reality outside the Internet also?
2. There is a big wall clock four feet above the monitor of my computer. If I move the mouse cursor to the tip of the minute arm of the clock and press the left button of the mouse, will time stop?
3. In their mission of implementation of the teachings of the ancient, holy Quran, Shariya, and Hadith and of accelerating the Islamisation of the world, Talibans, in the holy land of Pakistan, are now recruiting small kids to turn them into terrorists and to use them as suicide bombers. Don't they know that child labor and child abuse are prohibited these days?
4. How did you feel when you killed a human being for the first time?

silent love
It will be a mistake if I show the state of my heart to someone;
to keep loving someone silently is not wrong I hope.
