I too, like you, was speechless all those 4 horrific days. I was so shocked that words didn't find their way at all. I realize now that this incident has changed something in me forever. I feel like I have transformed into a strong patriot after this. I feel like doing ANYTHING I can - even things like get out there and caste my vote. I think little things can make a huge difference but only if all of us are committed to these things. So let's put our heads together and start thinking - what can we do that will make a difference. If you don't mind, I'll be linking this post to mine at http://indianinfant.blogspot.com/2008/11/first-bangalore-then-ahmedabad-and-now.htmlDivshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643881439793186738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445792635987788443.post-84956901490348588132008-12-02T12:30:00.000+05:302008-12-02T12:30:00.000+05:30hi nice post, i saw your post on our site www.linq...hi nice post, i saw your post on our site www.linq.in which featured in the top 10 recently added blogs.

From your last line, I see that you believe in 'like begets like'. Therefore, if a collective meeting of negative thoughts and minds just build up 'prejudiced and violent' actions, the same can be said about the coming together of people with positive suggestions and actions.<BR/><BR/>@Amrita, why don't we start by campaigning for makng the "India is my country" pledge compulsory in all schools. I am sure that the present PM and the PM-in-waiting will give a serious and patient hearing to this.Mamma mia!

However, I do think these are things the mothers will have to campaign for on their own and accomplish on their own. I'm looking at our current PM and the man tipped to be our next PM (LK Advani) and the people who want to be PM (Narendra Modi, Mayawati, Laloo Yadav, Rahul Gandhi) and I don't see one person among them whom I would trust to so much as get the pen pal initiative off the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445792635987788443.post-31537224481675217932008-11-30T16:14:00.000+05:302008-11-30T16:14:00.000+05:30I guess anything that gets people to go out there ...I guess anything that gets people to go out there and meet other people should work.
