Why oh Why?
How many more black days do we have to see before we see an end? Or is this only the beginning?
Where are our leaders? What other issues are occupying their times?
It is time you stepped down from your seats since you have all failed.
You sent brave men to take bullets in their hearts and in spite of repeated warnings there was no preparation.
You have let innocent people die without a cause. If our main cities cannot be protected from these cowards called terrorists who hide behind black masks and guns, then what are you governing?
Words fail me.. let me shed silent tears for my bleeding nation.

Sister Abhaya
Been too busy at work and more than I miss writing, I miss reading all my favourite blogs but then I have to pen something today....
Can Sister Abahya’s parents have some peace of mind now?
Of course they are the first ones who matters but I think this case matters to many of us too.
If one asks why, there are no specific answers. It is not as though this is the only murder case which has been languishing in the court rooms, but it is a case which tugged the conscience of many. A nun who had taken solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience was murdered and denied justice while the institution that was supposed to have come to her rescue remained passive. But not passive to thwart justice at every juncture of this 16 years long case. And now a nun who took the same solemn vows has been arrested along with her fellow priests. All of them, I understand were heading educational institutions. As for the claims from some quarters that they are innocent surprises many. Those arrested did undergo narco analysis and polygraph tests and the ex-CBI officer did have his doubts on Sister Sephy during his short role in this case. As for CBI arresting only on the grounds of Sanju P. Mathew’s disclosure seems silly, or maybe I am being too hopeful.
Anyway, let us wait for some more dramas since as usual the case has been politicized.
Then as told, it is not the CBI who needs to be applauded but the High Court since the CBI succumbed to pressures all along. And this is way the judiciary needs to act. I pray we see this commitment in every case.
