Today, I'm back in the college after the onam holidays...but the trip back wasnt very easy this time...My train was supposed to leave Mangalore at 230pm...but before that, some people of Bajrang dal broke into some of the churches in mangalore(Milagres church, and few other churches) and destroyed some idols there!!...and that obviously resulted in agitation; and within an hour, the roads in the city were blocked...people were pelting stones at vehicles and there were police everywhere...So i wasnt able to reach the station. Then we thought of going to Kasaragod and catchin the same train there; but the roads enroute were blocked too... Then we decided to go to the second station in Mangalore, and luckily we got there on time (actually an hour early for a train that was 1.5 hours late!). And I managed to get back to college. Lucky Renzil...he was supposed to come with me, but left early morning because he wanted to watch the race in the afternoon.
But why do these people do such horrible things?! Cant they just forget about others' religion and live in harmony? Yesterday there were serial bomb blasts in Delhi and now today this!...Will this ever end?! Its the duty of us, 'educated' people, to spread the word of secularism. Most of the wars today in the name of religion. Lets consider people before considering their religion, nationality, caste or anything. Lets make India the world, a better place to live in!
Hoping for a better tomorrow...
