Remembering Gandhi

Does his soul really rest in Peace? What have we done and what are we doing in his name are divergent things? Its a crying shame that we utter peace and mean piece. For this man who wanted to be celibate and woke up at 67 with something horrifying to him but gratifying to any other man of his age, were he to be born today, he would ask, if he had the right, not to be born, again.We have to look at ourselves not for what we are, but what we are evolving into.We are evolving into a people where brother falls upon brother, rapes his sister and throws his parents out. We are evolving into a people where the I is supreme and flaunt our acquisitions with a in-your-face attitude that stupefies the world. We are evolving into a people of having not double but multiple standards, holding the world to ransom with our maa-ki becoming monkey riding on the back of the very money that the world is pouring and polluting us with. We are evolving into a people that pride ourselves of the friezes of Khajuraho and yet **** and *** has to be written as phuck and cex. We are evolving into a people that Baapu once wanted out and have forgotten what we really were. We have forgotten what Namaste means.We have forgotten what Vannakkam means. We have forgotten what As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh means. We have forgotten what Sat Sri Akaal means.We have forgotten our selves.
