As Loud as Silence...

Past few weeks I have found a lot of peace in silence. I am falling in love with it. The silence which let all bad stay at bay, and let in only the stuff you want to hear. Silence which was louder than anything. I still cant stop writing about the silent world I am living in. I was watching Independence Day and saw that the Aliens were moving whole of their civilization from one planet to other. For a second, just for a second I thought if we humans could do that. That one second was silence. The very next second I had the answer. And the very next second was again...silence.

The Answer was just a few channels away. People like Bin Laden would plant a bomb in the ship we all move in. People like George Bush would not allow Muslims in it. People like Dawood Ibrahim would kill Indians in there. People like John F Kennedy would be shot. People like Karkare would be killed. And in the end, goats like Kasab will be hanged. All that would be left to take to the other planet would be silence.

"Darkness coming around,
And everybody fight with the brother.
Every body wants control,
Don't hesitate to kill one another."

I look for other channels, and I don't find anything new. Even Astha channel!! God seems to be readily available there as if for sale!! I enjoyed it for some time seeing the way he was saying stuffs, and when the camera panned, i saw a crowd all siting and listening....in silence. The Long haired man (as they all are!) was called a god's messenger and all he said was considered by people as God's words. For a second, just for a second a thought ran through my mind silently...Shri Rama, Shiva, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Allah...So many gods, so many forms, so many halos, yet one message. The very next second came another thought...in silence... So many names, so many texts, so many followers, so many people yet so much hatred. No matter how much the God man says, no matter how many god men speak, the world was going to be just listening to it...in silence. So God :

"Come back as Jesus
Come back and save the world,
Bless all the future of every boy and girl,
Come back as Rama,
Forgive us for what we've done,
Come back as Allah,
Come back as anyone."

My world has indeed broken up, shattered to pieces, pieces called caste, religion, color. The world has split into continents, continents into countries, countries to states, states to cities, cities to people and people into religions, religions into castes. Why.??? I may never know, all that i can do now is switch off the TV and dream of a world for all people, a world where people have one religion...Humanity. A world which is not split to pieces, world with no castes, no hatred, a world which could move from one planet to other with everyone on board. Till then all i have with me is one thing uniform across the continents, uniform in all religions, present in all gods, across all countries, the thing I've fallen in love with... silence.
