Home Alone 2

Day 2 of being alone was somewhat eventful. Unlike last night when I whiled away time and was super bored, today I didn't get time to get bored. Was woken up by a phone call from my dad and he really woke me up. He said that they were coming back, without taking the admission! That was even before they had reached the college and barely after they had reached the town where the college is. He didn't say much, just that they were coming back and they are not sending my brother to that college even if it was made of gold! Something bad must've really happened to change his mind like that. I mulled over it for a while then went back to sleep.

Again I was woken up by a phone call and was told to come for lunch with friends. We ate decent food at a new place and then fought over which movie to watch until all of us gave up and decided to go home. There was some bad news while we were on our way back and it just went downhill from there. I reached home and dozed off for an hour or so. When I woke up and switched on the TV there was some more really really bad news. More bomb blasts, in Ahmadabad this time. Bangalore yesterday and now this! Even hospitals were targeted! That is some highly depressing stuff. For the first time I was actually scared of stepping out of the house. There have been these kind of blasts before, even in Delhi, but I have never felt the way I did today when I was watching the news.

I did go out for an ice-cream and the streets were deserted, at 10 p.m.! Very strange indeed. I've been sitting in front of the computer since, chatting and writing this. All in all, not boring like Day 1 but I would prefer boring to this any day!

Points: -1x10^(10 billion) points to the assholes who think they can solve their purpose by committing such acts of cowardice.

Another -1x10^(10 billion) points to the same assholes for making the life of Muslims more difficult and shaming the Islamic community. NEWSFLASH: This is not how you make things better!! If revenge is all that you seek, then I would suggest extensive brain scanning and mapping to find out what happened to your common sense. You're not alone though. There are many more like you out there who will make their presence felt by you, most probably in the same way as you did.

The same number of points to the person who had the idea of God being a property to which only the people who endorsed a particular religion had rights to call theirs.

A special -1 gazillion points to whoever came up with the concept of life and death. We could really have done without the death part.

One-liner: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Gandhi said this I believe.
