I distinctly remember the political situation in Indian subcontinent at that time. Few highlights were:

• Pakistan,under persistent US pressure, began its fight against taliban.
• A deadly civil war was on in Sri Lanka.
• Mutiny in Bangladesh: Revolt of Bangladesh Rifles.
• Major Political Unrest in Nepal over sacking of Army chief.
• Indians were recovering from shocks of the 26/11 attacks

To sum up, new chapters were being added in the history books of these nations while the entire subcontinent was burning under deadly carnage.

Below is the screenshot of the top three headlines on Google News today.

The moment I saw this page, I was itching to write this post down.
Justice is far from done, but in my opinion clocks are today ticking hope-hope hope-hope hope-hope...
On this hopeful note I quote a poem by Ruskin Bond.

Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.
