Well said Krishnan..... Indeed nature was again reminding us that we must respect her and mend our greed.   

Mr. Bala,
What happened to the 'spit and scoot' thing? You seem to have stepped out of the arguments now and have diverted to leaving deplorable comments on other blogs.
Not far back, I remember you had commented on dcindias blog on caste system and your views were prejudiced. No, I do not care about your views, but just want to emphasize that everyone is prejudiced to an extent. Till date, I have not seen anyone with an unblemished mind. Erads arguments have done wonders. I truly do not understand why this harping about Thackrey only, when there are other crooks around the country. Ppl have cried hoarse against the 'unfairness of the Thackerays' but keep mum about similar other issues. True 'psecularism' indeed.....

Dear Sampath,
                                This feeling comes to you by age and experience. Thank you for expressing it in true reflection.

dear Krishna Bala,
this is such a lovely reminder ..
 when one can influence people to mobilise 
then these are the causes the sage should direct the massess to rise to.
what a garceful yet a reminder of the true meaning and purpose of religion....

Dear Ushasuryamani,
                                             That is an obvious thought for any person to whom the chinese commies mind is well known. But the Dalai Lama is a religious person who stands head and shoulder above the common man and he can not respond like every body.The whole world has seen the protests lodged by the Tibetians along the olympic torch route and some might not even agree, that they should spoil such a solemn occasion with a political act. Now is the time for the Dalai Lama to show the world what the monks mean ! Thanks for your considered response.

Wishful thinking Krishna Bala... You think the Chinese would allow that ? their conniving mind would would only create negative feelings. deep inside , the Leaders must be happy that it was good the Earth Quake happened...less people for the Govt. to take care of ! One way to reduce population...this is their approach !

Dear Santhemant,
                                      You have nicely brought out the type of mind set that the Chinese and the military junta in Myanmar possess as to even sacrifice the lifes of their poor citizens rather than accept aid in times of catastrophe  of this nature. Your reference to the depredations carried out by ultra religious fanatics at Jaipur is likely to harden the majority community in to re-evaluating their sense of secularisn and I am sure politics henceforth will not be the same as it has all along been. Thanks for your valued comments.

Dr.Madhvi,
                     Despite your doubt about the likely response from the Chinese, you have pointed out the noble thought that should be entertained by any human being at a time of devastation of this magnitude. That is what is expected of a sensible person !. Thank you for this focus.

THE ''PROUD and arrogant  CHINESE LEADERSHIP WILL never ever ACCEPT THIS srvice from tibetans .DO YOU THINK THEY ARE ANY DIFERENT FROM THE MEDIEVIAL BURMESE miltary junta who aceepts loss of lives but not humane help.These human beings have different set of minds which our types can never understand.Just as some muslims cold blooded ly plan regular blasts with so much care and precision and energy to see pink city painted REd and then call it jehad in the name of GOD,the Chinese think Tibetans are worms to be crushed and eaten fried .Arrogant man dies but door to his heart and mind does not open.The naswer lies in spirituality or the religion or way of life they believe in and what thier elders teach.But if they are against all ''gods'' and spirituality is the poison for them then they are from different plane of exixtance and it will require more than an earth qauke to shake HAN chinese leadership who think they are born to rule the world.

in the face of human tragedies it is but natural for people to forget their past differences and work towards rebuilding and help alleviating human sufferings.....I think Dalai Lama is a great saint and perhaps overlook atrocities of chinese people and government   but that would do some good ...i doubt...
Madhvi
