Pune Bombblast is a cowrdice act
May GOD save our nation from more such horrors...Whosoever are the perpetrator of Pune blast, they shud know that they are neither serving any religion nor any casue. Today, after any such explosion as a MUSLIM I became DEPRESSED beacuse some people will immidiately raise question on my INDIANNESS......even though the performer of this kind of shameful act are the astray youth of Muslim community or not? Plz no one misuderstood my words......am more shocked seeing the loss of human lives rather then d question mark?
Taking innocents lives is totally unjustifiable.......i dont understand who are they? why they do this?
violence never leads to mitigation of problems.
if somebody has grievences they should address it in a democratic way.....it might take some time but it would surely bring longlasting peace.

Sometimes Disappointment Become Grace
God is really great.....my family and friends were telling me that there is something good awaiting for you,just keep passion, GOD might want u to do some other task. Ya.now i am sure that they were right. The month of August 2008, was quite interested for me. After all I got a chance for the first time to appear in an interview at my home town. Rabindra Sadan Girls College advirtised a post for lectureship in history. The vacancy was open for all. I found an oasis in the desert of reservations. I felt, I may have a chance to stay back in my home town after a long period of 10 years. But who knows that the business was as usaul, vested groups were engaged fully to appoint their own candidate. Unaware of that conspiracy...I did neither contact any politician nor any manipulator. I thought that the appointment will be totally on the basis of merit. Besides, I am a local boy, having M.Phil, NET and publciations in my subject. Why should I worry? I shoud give a damm fight. UGC has already publshed a circular through the Gazetteer that only NET and Ph.D students are eligible for Graduation level teaching in all college and universities affilitaed to Govt. I forget that I am appearing in a college and in a place, where religion and your place in power structure matters a lot.
