Hi All !Really heart touching......... I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.. The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?'' I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God.. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister...'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' 'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!' Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.' I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever... The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him. Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE

KASAB – DEATH or LIFE IMPRISONMENT!!!
This is one of the few things which I really wanted to write from a very long time. Its surely gonna be a controversial one too. It's been quite a long time now since the horrific days of the 2008 Mumbai Attack. People have suffered enough and are back to their daily lives with memories of the dreadful past. However, there is one dreadful thing which we can't leave behind and there needs to be an end to this one for sure. And that's the one and only Mohammed Ajmal Amīr Kasāb.
Yes Ajmal Kasab as we all know, the person who terrorized Mumbai along with the counterparts Pakistan from 26th Nov killing more than 100 people and bringing our entire nation under threat. The rest of the people have been killed and he was the lone survivor of the incident. He was arrested and produced before the court and it's been ages since this drama has been unfolding in front of the entire world.
He was captured on the CCTV and the entire world had seen him on TV. But still they would say that there is no evidence to prosecute him and still the case went on for such a long time with Kasab initially agreeing to everything which he did to our country and then denying his involvement in the entire thing. Again this drama went for a pretty long time and finally a few days back everything has almost come down to a final showdown.
But will Kasab Die????? Will he be hanged???Will we all be able to witness what we all have been waiting to see for such a long time?
Been hoping that the same thing happens...he gets hanged as soon as possible..cos I am sure there is gonna be some human rights activist or some government interference.. which might happen and they would end up giving him life imprisonment and let him go after a few yrs down the lane......this is one reason why India really needs to change....He went around like a maniac killing hundreds of people and we in return end up forgiving him for messing up our country......
There is blood of many brave Indians who have given up their lives and also fought hard to bring back the honor and dignity of our country during those tough times. I just wished instead of arresting him and going through all this process of courts, trials, judges, lawyers and spending so much money on him. It would have been much better if any one of your soldiers would have just used a couple of bullets and taken his life at that instant. These people deserve much worse but at least this could have been the least we could give them for bringing such havoc and pain to our country.
I hope and pray that our judgment system will change sometime soon and we the people are there to bring about this change and not just let any person come and take us and our judicial system for granted.
Just felt I needed to write this down sometime and nothing could be better than writing it in my own blog.
