Which is more Shameful ?

If you did manage to flip through the Chennai edition of The Hindu today - the front page carried the Photograph of a mother sobbing over the corpse of her 18-year old daughter killed in the Hyderabad Blasts. It so sad to notice the number of families that have been affected due to the sick mind of the terrorists. Yet another Photograph showed a sister crying over her brethren who were killed in the blasts - her brother , his wife and their two children !! What is going on in this world I wonder.

If you'd scanned the paper a little bit more - there was a small column mentioning the suspension of the constable who hugged Sanjay Dutt when he came out of prison !! And yet another column which talks of (with pictures ofcourse ) Katrina Kaif visiting Sallu dada in prison !Iam wondering what our priorities are in life. All news channels seem to be carrying these bits of news - not necessarily in that order ! I wonder why so much of publicity and hype. Okay , they are celebrities , but for heaven's sake - they are criminals in the eyes of law - Can we stop giving them Demi-God Status ??

And I still wonder what I could do for the blast victims sitting here.....Apart from just pray that more blasts dont happen and also that God should give the families of the victims enough courage to overcome this great loss !
