Allow me to explain.A band of murderers pops out of nowhere and kills a whole lot of everyday folks (just like me) and then send you a letter (or a video, or an email) telling you who they would like to be known as and who they represent and ...

Let's look at the bigger picture: humans have always been like the gun-toting boy here. If anything, I take comfort from the fact that man is, perhaps, a more tolerant creature than he was a hundred years ago. You and I, we can get by in life.

By now, I guess the whole country world is under shock because of yesterday night’s terrorist attacks. It all started on 26th November, 2008 - A night which will be always remembered in our minds and souls. There’s ...
