Uprootings and more...

it has been a while I blogged anything.. and this can't really be attributed to lack of topics of interest.... i would rather see it as a slackening phase, wherein a i feel an elongated lethargy to grab up enough creativity to punch in anything..

that apart, life has not been a roller coaster ride in the past weeks; cool, routine and eventless.. and it doesn’t really rock either, presumably because my wife is away and i feel all the more lonely and left alone, albeit being cuddled up by our two little ones.. while i miss her so much, i cherish the moments of joy spending time with the kids..

elsewhere, in the outside world... Israeli settlers are moving out reluctantly and a larger percentage of them are forcibly evicted from the Gaza strip... i was watching the scene in BBC yesterday night.. it is tough for people who have spent most of their lives, some more than 30 years, in Gaza to move out one fine morning.. these are the moments of agony, disbelief, parting, sorrow and misery.. some settlers, who could not come to terms with the reality yet, where shouting at the police, kicking and cursing them.. all out of unfathomable pain and endless days of suffering that might lie ahead.. it was indeed in the minds of all the Israelis in Gaza that they might want to leave either today or tomorrow.. when the reality struck they could not cope with the stress and pain, one of the basic human behavior indeed!! the police were so composed and cool and truly professional in handling the scene.. but then who doubts the efficiency of the police force of a nation that boasts about mosad and top defense technologies in the world..? way to go gentlemen...

the Palestinians are celebrating on the other end.. you win some and you loose some.. we talk about, and witness, destiny here.. nothing more and nothing less. period.

so long
