We have bigger houses, but smaller families
more conveyances, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense
more knowledge. but less judgment
more experts, but more problems
more medicines but less healthiness.
We've been all the way to the moon and back.
but have trouble crossing the street
to meet the new neighbour.
We have built more computers
to hold more information,
to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication.
We have become long on quantity,
bit short on quality.
These are times of fast food,
but slow digestion;
tall man, but short character;
steep profits, but shallow relationship.
It is a time when there is much in the window but nothing in the rooms.

I dont feel like commenting much on these lines. but trying to put these lines in the context of the Delhi blasts, only thing that comes up in my head is, why afterall, some people will go for killing inocent people for some ideology of sorts. Are they misunderstood? Is there some communication gap or something? Why churches are being attacked?What ever it may be , any protest or misunderstanding should not grow to an extent that it starts taking the life of innocent people.

We all know that all problems have a solution. But where is the solution ? It is of my opinion that lack of strong political will and intelligence failure make our country vulnerable to terrorist attacks...
i think there is complete lack of political will to fight any of the evil..not just terrorist attack, whether it is communal tension, natural disaster,labour problem or law and order situation every thing turns into a political mudslinging event..
I guess the problem is people are so busy being selfish and pushing their own propaganda. We forget the things that are really important in this world.
