Mumbai blasts and significance
Did anyone realize that the Mumbai blasts occured on the Guru Poornima Day? Itz surprising to see that when the blasts occured the media was trying to find all kinds of significance of the date the terrorists decided to strike....7/11, elections in POK, serial blasts in Srinagar, et al, but no one remembered what should have been a festival celebrated across India with great improtance - Guru Poornima.
Sad that Nehru's secular legacy has dumped India with a Teacher's Day on Sep 5, but no importance given to Guru Poornima. I myself would have forgotten about this day if not for a reminder from Yogoda Satsangha Society :-(
Sad that the media that goes gaga over Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Women's Day has no space for Guru Poornima. Just shows why Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal are still needed!
We shall build good ships here. At a profit - if we can. At a loss - if we must. But always good ships.
