All this hullaballo over something legal

Are you kidding me!!
I braved the afternoon sun, in a traffic jam of 5 KMs.

Massive deployment of police forces since the past 3 days and why.
I now know, how it would feel if I get stuck in a scenario as depicted in "The Happening" by M Night Shyamalan were to come to life actually.
And all this over a piece of land, which I'm told is the holiest of the holy, but doesn't effect me at all in the least bit of sense.
For once, I admire the Indian legalese.
An order delivered right on the verge of it being invalidated by just one day on account of one of the judges on the bench reaching his retirement. A mammoth 10 thousand page document, delivered after 60 years and so very aptly underlining indecision.
Its admirable how we all have reacted.
But the judiciary trumped us all and has shown the smiley.

The planners got it all wrong. We all should have known, how it works.

Go on you devils in black coats, I ensure you another 60 years before it reaches any conclusion. And by that time I will be senile... I hope.

Peace!

So Apt :)

As if Superman had a choice

Who is to say, if given a chance, Superman would have chosen to take a break. Well Superman may not have given it another thought when Lex Luthor teased him, "you are a workaholic, playing the good guy 24x7", but I certainly did. After all he's the infallible man. Although to fulfill that destiny he had to loose everything near and dear.
Well, I don't intend to be all loopy and philosophical, but it just seems so ironical that our greatest hero is an alien, who started on his journey by loosing his entire planet. 
Perhaps, we have already agreed that us humans can never stand the test of our own moral standards.
Coming to the point of this post... I realized today that an essential part of being human is just admitting that no matter how noble your intentions may be, you do make mistakes.. and humongous ones at that.
Superman, would never make any mistakes. He'll never have to face a dilemma  of choosing between the right thing and what should be done to correct those mistakes. Superman never has a choice.

I am no superman. I'm no one to make no mistakes. And I have no authority to tell others what to do when, and how to do it. All I know is that its never too late to realize and own up to your mistakes. You may not be able to set everything alright immediately, but you may stop from getting it worse. Peace.
