We Believe

Closing of a chapter, marks the beginning of the next,

Cohesion arises in adversity, one need to be blessed!!!

"Set the platform", what others would say,

Every day has an end, but then every day is followed by another 'promising' day!!!

Time has come, when we make an aplomb start,

With the vision of our aim striking the dart,

Wishing luck and blessings to every individual out there,

We believe, We believe this journey to not end here!!!

We believe, We believe in roads crossing again,

With baton of love switching hands without disdain,

Let's forgo all enmity, all hatred in soul,

Let's pledge together to succeed together wherever we go!!!

We believe, We believe to set the world rolling again,

Spreading happiness around, while crying in rain,

We believe, We believe in spirits of high-impetus accord,

Calling everyone to hit the right chord!!!

Split twice-open into three

It started with one. The true power of one could have been apprehended had it remained existent physically since independence. But the non existence of anticipated application of one was the case applicable to all the other cases. Bharat was once a one-ation where there was no hatred based on religion, no communalism ever crept in, and people talked about unity to fight the greater cause, the cause of achieving independence. But the unity didn’t last a life time, a nation of martyrs got bifurcated into two-Pakistan and Hindustan. Never did anyone think of divide widening any further until recently when Kashmir gained the detestation of standing on the precipice of the contentious valley between the two giants, ready to make a move to one of the two sides, sadly. It is no denying a fact, that India did win three Olympics at Beijing Olympics, with three Indians being ranked amongst 40 richest Individuals in Singapore (Kartar Singh Thakral,, Mustaq Ahmad, Sunny George Verghese), and three Khans(ShahRukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Saif Ali khan) ruling the Indian film industry. But out of one corner, so does the inauspicious ‘three’ of two giants and a state in tussle starts creeping in! Yes, it’s Kashmir, Pakistan and India. And the manacles of it brings adversity to the life of three innocent people (Abrar Ali,Anwar Hussein, Rashid Hussein) in context to blasts that took place at two places with one rendered as a warning of undefeatable danger(again adding to ‘three’).
It was sad to have come across news where the three innocent citizens of our country were reprimanded for no fault of theirs, with no connection with the terrorist outfits unless the state forces convict them on the lines of Kevin Bacon’s theory of six degrees of connection with terrorist present all over. Equally sad was to know that people like Shabana Azmi were denied of owning a flat in Mumbai on context of being a person belonging to the minority religion in our country i.e. Islam. We should rather reconcile the fact that more Muslims live in India than they do in Pakistan and form an equally important part in comprehending the definition of Secularism in India. Where on one hand, ShahRukh/Aamir khan personifies every individual of the country in most patriotic Indian way; on other hand actors like them carry forward the bacon of harmony & brotherhood across nations with zeal. Only a dormant mind can rightly act the torch bearer of extremism & communalism in this ever evolving world. It is high time, we Hindustanis & Pakistanis shun the deplorable principles of hypocritical hatred amongst each other and start fighting jihad, a fight with inner-self in a more spiritual way!!! Let the Trinity (that God exists as three persons) be the only propitious unit of ‘three’ prevail in this world with God being present at the centre and balancing the two extremes of love & hatred, good & evil. Let us hope the numeral would only increment for the universal glory and not for the ill-fated discourse.
