What is wrong with us?

My country.....

You throw ink, egg or shoe at any

politician......

You will be arrested on the spot

immediately.

But if you throw stones on forces,

army......

Army men may be arrested!

Do we see such acts of stone

throwing on Forces in any other

states and countries?

All over the world...

Stone pelting is bad.

Stone pelting with an intent to

cause grievous injury is a

crime?

Stone pelting with an intent to

hurt an armed security officer on

duty is suicide.

If you pelt a stone at an Israeli 

soldier - They will identify you -

Kill you - identify your house - 

respectfully request your family

members to vacate - fill your

empty house with concrete.

If you pelt a stone at a uniformed

and armed US Marine on duty -

you won't even live to say sorry

to 3 generations of your family

members who'd never know how

bad the airline food really is - as

they might all get listed on the

no-fly list for good.

If you plan to pelt a stone on a

Spetsnaz in Moscow - hope you

have great cooking skills - because

just in case you aren't shot and

killed immediately - you might

have to spend the rest of your life

being 'useful' to the lonely and

bored soldiers of the Black

Dolphin facility on the Kazak 

border.

And in case you plan to pelt a

stone at a guard in the Tiananmen

Square - hope you take your family

into confidence, since it is they

who would be suffering the most,

while you are made to wait in a

4ftx4ftx4ft cell in one of the 

Chinese Organ Harvesting

facilities, awaiting a patient that

matches your blood type.

Your government will not just make

a profit by selling your organs -

they'll also make your family pay

for the operation and the

subsequent funeral - after they

freeze the bank accounts of your

family members of course.

But we in India are a little

different.

We are the only country in the 

world which even has a debate on

this subject.

We are the only country where

we can take liberties to denigrate

the Chief of the Army and call him

names. What a shame!!??

Isn't it time to stand by our

gallant Armed Forces because, 

we know in our heart of hearts

they are not inhuman, they are

not merciless and they have both

their heart and mind in place.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a half past 3, washed up, recited my prayers and turned off to sleep yet again. Got up at a half past 6, the chores, was ready by a half past 8 and we were off to the Foundation soon after. Today, Gopu and me went to the schools/colleges towards Nalanchira to canvas for students for our Sunday function. It was an experience to remember!

In the evening, Maman and I had gone to the Pazhavangadi Ganapati kshetram. Broke coconuts and returned home comparatively early.
