Value of human life

Gunman kills 33 innocent people in Virginia Tech.
Massive car bomb explodes in a busy market place of Baghdad's killing more than 170.
Serial killer takes life of more than 18 kids in Nithari.
Al-Qaida-led Iraqi insurgents claim of killing 20 kidnapped Iraqi police and soldiers.

and the list goes on so does the number

Humanity has reached to a point now where there is not respect for human life. It makes it more bad to know that its human who no longer care or value a human life. "Birth is accidental but Death is destiny" Thats what my english teacher used to say. But losing life due to some one else's atrocity, is that destiny???

Where have we gone wrong, whats that making us not at all care for others life. If you have forgotten whats the value of human life; ask that mother whose child was shot for no reason, ask that sister whose brother was burnt in the bomb blast, ask that father whose 12 year old daughter was raped and then chopped into pieces. Is it so difficult to understand value of human life? In all the cases who are the killer, they are all grown and mature people having enough brain to understand the value of life. Can we blame education, can we point fingers on parenting, can we say its religion or is it the society and our culture. No none of these...

What is making our mind into a beast? I am still looking for answer

Creator made this amazing world but missed out on making a perfect brain.

Selective Love!!!!

I don't believe in "Love at first sight". Is it physical attraction... hummm may be to some extent. I don't know how to describe Love. But in last few days I was exposed to this new concept of selective Love!!!

I am part of a online group where people discuss several issues related to my community or the society in general. There was a major discussion on Love marriage or Arranged marriage. Every one presented their own opinions, suggestions. Some even quoted few research results (without providing any evidence for the research) to support their argument. Among all the arguments some thing that amazed me most was, falling in love with a girl/boy of same community and then getting married. I know how tough it is "To be loved by some one who you love". But I could not digest this concept of Selective Love. Now in my opinion this can work only if

1. Make a huge list of boy/girl with whom you can possibly fall in love.
2. Eliminate the ones that are not from your community.
3. If you are left with handful of girls/boys go to next step, else go to step1
4. Now select one boy/girl from the shortlisted list who matches or suites your need and priority!!!!

How far is this practicable...?? Even if we do manage to shortlist one person, is it LOVE??? The concept itself appeared weird. First of all why are we so much concerned about loving some one within same community? Yep there can be lot of oppositions when it comes to love marriages. But is this selective love a solution!!! If you love a person no matter what you will stand by them. I feel that people suggesting Selective Love are the ones who do not have guts to fight or stand for their love. These are the people who want to look good and nice to the community/parents by loving some one within the community. At the same time want to claim that they have done a Love marriage and found their soul mate!!!! I am not saying love marriages within same community is wrong, as long as its the regular love not the Selective one.

Anyways I am shortly going to ask these people advocating "Selective Love" how to do it?? May be I am wrong and they can show me some light!!!!!!! I wonder how Cupid works in these cases :)

Hope.... Ummeed pe duniya kaayam hai...

Been hoping for so many things.... Life poses new troubles, challenges and situations which forces me again to hope for the best!!!

Even after being optimist I was very negative about getting a student visa, I hoped I should get one.
Being away from studies for 3 years, I always hoped to excel in studies even after the break.
After learning things that I really liked and loved, hoped to get a job in what I wanted to do.

All these hope came true.....

There were so many times I hoped for a lot of things and many did happen... Off course I just don't leave everything to happen by magic.. I do put all my efforts to make my hope come true. But today life has put me into to a place where I have to just sit and hope; do nothing to turn that hope into a reality...

I got a call from HR of my future company saying "We have filed your H1B application by 2nd morning and made sure that we have done everything from our side. But as per USCIS they have received 150 thousand application and now the allotment depends on a computerized random based selection process. All we can do now is HOPE for the best. Keep your fingers crossed and start praying"

Yep thats what I am doing now keeping my fingers crossed and praying!!!!.... Why is life so complicated some times. I don't hesitate from challenges as long as I can fight against it. But here I am left handicapped, I am forced to be a blind spectator and watch what destiny has for me...

Ummeed pe duniya kaayam hai... yes I need to believe, that something extraordinary is possible.
