I often wondered which is a better country, one that is governed and influenced heavily by theological dogma or one that is governed by a democratic regime. If we compare India and Pakistan, both countries came out from the shackles of colonialism at about the same time but look at India and Pakistan. India as the biggest democracy in the world is now seen as another China with an annual 2 digit economic growth. But look at where Pakistan is. we hear killings almost on a daily basis. political killings and killings in the name of Islam. The muslims are also killing amongst themselves between the sunni majority and the Shia minority. corruption is rampant. high unemployment. at the rate they are going, the country is spiraling downward. It is obvious that India will be the first to achieve a developed nation status.
the wandering and the wondering dad: yes, I am a dad. I travel and I think a lot because of my job. Wisdom begins in wondering and wandering. in this journey we call life, we often wander to different places and wonder about things. I like to record some of those here. If I left this world, some of the memories I recorded here would at least stay as a living proof on how I cherish my life. I've a good feeling the internet is here to stay.

Another bomb blast in Islamabad Pakistan
there was another bomb blast in Pakistan and possibly 50 people were killed and the number of fatalities could increase. This is utterly a stupid act. These stupid militants are bringing shame to Islam. Shame on you!! There is no wonder that in the west there is a growing fear of islam. Who can blame them? whilst its true that not all muslims are terrorist but its also true that most terrorists now are muslims.
