Tears in dark

The gloomy grey clouds, thunder storm and heavy gusty winds of last sat and sunday, brought in very bad news, an asian guy identified as a student of Virginia Tech went into the classrooms and started shooting randomly. It’s such a tragedy and horrible news. Things like this are beyond being fathomable.

It kind of struck a close chord for us. My cousin graduated from thie very university last year and also this afternoon we got an email sent at work today stating that one of the Plant Manager’s son who was a senior at Virginia Tech was amongst the 32 who were killed. I felt so bad…this is so unfortunate, young people losing their lives, their parents losing their hopes, their children, god so many memories just cant be brought back to life, the life of so many just so simply wiped off, just b’coz of a depressed guy who was trigger happy. Ofcourse, the media, the cops, the psychiatrist’s go into deeper lengths to find out what makes “us” behave the way we do. Gun control laws will now be discussed at length, but....

Professor GV Loganathan, Reema, Minal are the Indians among the people who lost thier lives.

As I was walking to my car, I noticed that all the 3 flags in front of my building, the US, Switzerland and Canadian flags are at half staff for the solidarity and respect to the people who lost their lives and to the people who live to remember them.

At the end of the day only a “WHY ?”, will be the question to many, because there wont be any justice for such acts of random violence.
