Past few years, our country has suffered a lot – Innumerable blasts. 
Innumerable deaths. Innumerable families orphaned. Innumerable injured for life; What did the mob learn? NOTHING! I really doubt if it is really 2009; seems like the mob is still to get a flight to reach 21st century! I was a bit hopeful after 26/11 – thought the mob would be bit more cautious; the mob would care for the safety of others; hard to believe that they have not changed – they are still the same! Otherwise the sequence of things that is happening in this state would not have happened. I mention this state because the media is filled with news from it now; God only knows how many similar incidents are happening daily in various other parts of the country; and I am sure they are!
I strongly believed that education is the only way by which the mob can get a ticket to the present. But now I doubt! I don’t think anything can change them. Sad.
I would like to believe that too, Dev.. that education can make a difference. However, the pull of notions fundamentalistic is the bane of the educated, where rationalization and justification finds a way to seduce the brilliant minds, and lead them astray. And that is how we have such a mob, sometimes, and sometimes brilliant terrorists too!
Hope surges however, with the way a lot of people right across the country have come together over the Mangalore Issue.
May their tribe increase.
