Blasts that trigger compassion

The recent carnage and bloodshed that had taken place in Hyderabad triggered all the compassion and love in each one of us for all those who lost their lives and those who are struggling to come out from the affliction this ghastly incident had inflicted on their lives..The incident took place in the heart of the city when everyone was busy with their regular chores. Not many would have thought that the culprits would place the bombs at such lively locations which boast of the tradition the great city holds...viz. Gokul chat, the prime location for chat in the city and which each one knows right from a small kid to an eighty year old man. The Menu which this chat bhandar offers is sure to stimulate any jaded palate. It was around 7:30 in the evening of 25th august, the pangs of death have stung the poor and innocent who were celebrating a sumptuous and delectable meal in this cuisine. Suddenly, there were bodies lying all around in a pool of blood for the god of death to satiate his voracious appetite. The lives of people have been shattered, many lost their husbands, a few their children who were about to reach home and lie in the lap of their mother after a tiresome day. Poor mother would never have imagined that it would be a dead soul that would breathe its last in her lap. The other incident that took place was at the Lumbini Park, around same time, just a few minutes difference..This was actually the first blast that took place. People were enjoying the Laser show that was being held there as a part of its schedule. A sudden blast, that is it, there were bodies everywhere lying in a pool of blood. Everything was being telecast on the Television sets, and our hearts were filled with love and compassion for all those who had lost their lives. This is the end, compassion begets compassion, but this is a never ending story..Each day ends with a sigh of relief that nothing ghastly has taken place today. We have literally lost the security for our lives... We have seen these things happen here and there and now and then. Is there anyone who could find a solution to this never ending problem of terrorism? Let's hope..

'HELLO'

HELLO friend, this is a blog that gives importance to some niceties in life which we seldom care to give importance. This is all about gestures and their serendipitous discoveries. A few gestures we use depict a personality, but 'HELLO' is something which each and every person in this world uses to start off a conversation. The gesture that helps you get acquainted with a person, the gesture that has united the entire world irrespective of the different national languages each country has got, the gesture that holds a unique distinction of making people forget all the rivalry and uniting them together. But, have you ever imagined about the invention of this word?, maybe it is a well known fact. All inventions need not be intentional, a few are serendipitous and this is one among the few. Kudos to the man who invented the TELEPHONE which we now use to unite the world. One of the greatest inventions that can be traced down to the period when Grahambell was working to make an instrument for the hearing impaired and ended up inventing this absolutely marvellous device THE TELEPHONE. Now to make it complete you need to test that and he started communicating with his wife by spelling out her name 'HELLO'. Never in her life she would have imagined that her name would be remembered for ages. Some things are destined to make a mark.
