i have removed this post in the wake of the new violence that erupted in Orissa, initiated by the Hindu extremists against the Catholic missions in that state.
World peace, ideals of an equal society and the likes of these lofty words might be unattainable, but yes, tolerance for each other surely is in our hands. Bal Thackerey prospers because he has followers, VHP can go in for a Bandh and give incovenience to people in the name of the religion-all because we allow them to. Only because such propaganda thrives, be it on net, or print or visual media. I hope you answered that ex-colleague in a befitting manner by hitting the reply button too.
"if not, you are on the other side. yes, along with the VHP, the RSS, the Ram Sena, the Talibans, and to be condemned in the same breath as Dara Singh." .....nice!! and perfectly well said!

the below lines are not mine, neither yours... but i'm sure we share the same feelings!
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
