Aaman ki asha...

Admits such a lot of noise on the Judgment on the peace of land in Ayodhya, that is all it is for me, there have been different reactions and it has been quite an effort to say away from this.

The pattern of these reactions have been quite interesting...
I realized since some time back that i have been receiving some of these chain mails about the different opinions and discussion related to judgment and people saying 'Finally' and expressing fear and raising a lot of emotions around it, it was uncanny though to see most of them were from meteors, and my immediate reaction was, once again they need a new hype this week to hook on to, almost the same way most of us hooked on to TV channels during the Bombay attack.

At home i have been constantly reminded by 'family' how big this judgment is, how we can not be ignorant, we have to be careful and it could be quite and thing and all. i was sleeping on this, till i received a call this after noon from my child's daycare, that they are closing down. And they believed that the kids better be 'safe' with their families. As i finish this blog i go to pic my kid up.

One of the most wired aspect i realized this morning of the judgment was assessing social feeling when the Mosque was built in the first place some 300+ years ago and i don't know how we could ever be able to do so and what is the need ...

ANYWAY ....

Amidst all this euphoria what touched me and built my confidence in community leaving and warmth was this little incident yesterday ...
I was at this store close to my house buying the cartridge of water filter, as i was settling the bill a man unknown to the shopkeeper, middle aged, just another person, climbed up in the shop and asked the owner- 'Kal Aaman ki asha hai na?'

The shopkeeper was confused about what he asked. i did hear the words clearly but was amused, i asked the shopkeeper if he knew him, he said no and then he looks back at this gentleman and asks- what did you say and both of us repeat in chorus 'Kal aaman ki asha hai na?'. He then realised, what it was in reference to and he did not miss a sec to respond - Definitely So

I nursed a dream to myself, hope there are many more like him moving around...
