my friend

[Guest guest]

Hi to the group

Today I recieved some bad news. I have a friend, whose name is

Ganesh. Today I recieved an email from his ex-roomate who introduced

me to Ganesh 3 years ago. Apparently he worked in the WTC, on the

102nd floor. His family have been searching for him since Tuesday.

He just married three months back, and his wife is in utter grief.

She moved here straight from India. I was relieved to hear she has

family in NJ area to help her through this time. Please send prayers

for Ganesh. He is a great person, very accomplished, yet very simple

and humble. I will always remember his simplicity and kind

generosity. When I heard I was in utter disbelief as I also haven't

heard from him in some time and he usually stays in contact with my

mom through e-mail.

It is true this tragedy has bought americans together, but some

people have taken their doubt out on the groups they feel

are 'enemies'. I have heard of attacks on muslims, middle eastern,

pakistani and Indian persons from mere name calling to firing guns on

them. This utterly terrifies me, as there are people from all walks

of life who are in America as citizen, or if not citizen, are law

abiding and no one deserves to be attacked. Even those who were.

I have another question does anyone think US will really 'go to war'

and what type of war will it be? I am very upset because I was

supposed to go to India to finish my exams, now I am very worried. I

spent two years there studying master's and the exams are in

November. Now I am not sure if I will go.. what do you think?

Jen, I promise to pray for Ganesh and his family. Also, please

everyone pray for a Bangladeshi named Atif Qureshi, who is also

missing. Also I agree with you, Jen, about the nasty attacks made by

individuals on those of other cultures. I have heard of one attack on

a Sikh in the United States and also I have seen some horrible things

said about bin Laden. I am not saying one thing or the other about

bin Laden. All I wish to say is that it scares me to see everyone

jumping on this triumphalist bandwagon. When people are that gung ho

for justice, innocent people can be hurt. I understand that a country

defending itself has to assume difficult postures, but I also hope

that those who have set up a GOOD/EVIL, ANGEL/DEVIL dichotomy and who

think they are on the GOOD side of it won't slip into violence under

the banner of justice. We all need to pray for peace, and hopefully

the Dalai Lama's advice for a peaceful resolution to these matters

can be acheived. I have no sense for politics. But I do hope for the

best.

> "On a separate train of thought, Usama bin Ladeen is a Saudi

dissident currently harboured by Afghanistan (Taliban) who took U.S.

dollars not to grow "poppies". Ironically, it was the U.S. who

trained bin Ladeen "

 

****** weLL THATS WHAT ALL IS "WHAT WE SOW IS WHAT WE REAP""" BUT IF

AT SOME TIMES WE THE HUMANS HAVE COMMITED MISTAKES BY SOWING WRONG

SEEDS ,ITS TIME WE NEED TO CHECK OURSELVES & PUT WRONGS TO RIGHT BUT

IN RIGHT MANNER SO AS THE FUTURE AGAION SHOULD NOT SEE POISON GROWING

OF THE FIELDS WE HARVEST TODAY""""""

 

 

"the U.S. will first establish and gather hard evidence before making

plans to proceed further. Even in taking the process further if they

establish bin Ladeen to be fully responsible (via other terrorist

networks and connections, ....."

 

*****Will getting of BIN LADEN end this war ??????? IMO,there will

be many other LADENS in making!! & repurcussions will not be like

full fledged wars but a new form of war is bein seen ,where one iwill

not fight at outside boundaries but will have to even fight within

ones own geographical boundaries!!!!!! many countries can even see

outbreak of civil war like situation *******

 

" There is no saying at the moment. It can well be a "retaliation"

and not "full-on" war. There is a vast difference between the 2

wors. All we can do is pray and hope that there will be No War. In

weeks to come, the govt. and other world leaders (Nato, etc.) will

have a clearer picture. Meantime, Australia's Prime Minister has

invoked the "Anzus Treaty" in preparation for the time in case the

U.S. requires assistance from our defence forces. Our country backs

the U.S. all the way."

 

*********** yeah PRAYERS ONLY TRUE PRAYERS ARE THE

SOLUTION TODAY er not solution but THE SEEDS which can be reaped

later !!!!!! but remeber true ,selfless prayers. maybe (& i pray ,tat

my feelings be wrong) i mite be wrong but still then ,true prayers

wud if not do ne good 2 u will harm none! *******

UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD ,HUMANITY ABOVE ALL ,

MAY LOVE ,PEACE & COMPASSION PREVAIL,
