Mr. Editor TOI, You are casteist

Few days back all saw the news covering of a little kid, 'Prince', who had fallen to a 55 ft. deep abyss. All news channels covered the story very lucidly. The whole nation was praying for the farewell of the kid. He was finally rescued after spending some fifty hours in that pit.

Next day Times of India had written a story on the issue. It mentioned that the boy belongs to OBC caste in that report. I simply don't understand why they need to mention it. Do they mean he was rescued because he was OBC ? Or do they mean since he was OBC it took so much of time for it ? Was it because OBC that Mumbai fire brigade had gone all the way to Kurukshetra ? And finally was it because he was OBC that the whole nation was praying for him ?

Mr Editor, please don't employ such tactics to divide the society. We are one society. From Kanyakumari to Kashmir, "AA SETU HIMAACHAL", we are one. Please don't try to divide us amongst castes, languages and other barriers. These are mere supreficial differences. This incidence in fact has shown the same. It seems you don't like this picture of united indian society.

But whether you like it or not, this is the truth. And don't forget you belong to the same land. So please don't indulge in any such affairs henceforth and don't try to break the unity of the nation.

Mumbai Blasts : Two Men

Sorry for being invisible for long. Had really nothing to write and engrossed into some other matters so deeply that could not even express it here.

Bomb blasts in mumbai railways was really a heinous act. We all know what groups are behind this and what is their motive. We should raise voice against such atrocities.

Great amount of relief work was done in Mumbai after this. The relatives of those who have suffered will gratefully accept this. I wish to describe two such cases here. (One of my close friend was eyewitness). Some people in Dadar region were helping victims at K.E.M., a hospital in Mumbai where a large number of victims were taken. They were providing them clothings, food and required medicine as the hospital stock was limited. One of these volunteers came out at about 12:30 in the night and saw Shrim. Shabana ji and Javed Akhtar sahb giving speech in front of a big mob. They were saying how the doctors are rude and the facilities are insufficient and relatives and victims themselves are ill treated. Then they said its complete failure of government. All media was present to cover this. My friend asked him, "have you gone in and seen the situation ?" He said no. Then he described true situation to the crowd. And pleaded these leaders not to give false statements in front of media. Then this fellow asked Shabanaji about the help she was taking for quake victims of Pakistan and was refused a visa. He appealed her to give that sum to these people. Shabanaji didnt say a word and ran inside the hospital. Crowd was really furious and then she had to go out in Police protection.

Second man is a school kid of Dadar. I even dont know his name. He's monitor of nineth class in some school of Dadar. He decided, on the second day of blasts, that it's our duty to help the suffered. He decided his class won't have tiffin that day. The news spread in the school and nobody from class one to class ten had their tiffin. All the food was taken to K.E.M. to serve for the patients. What a great example of service this little boy has laid! "Shat Pranam" to this anonymous hero.
