the eternal search for sanity in an age of intolerance and stupidity

where did I exist before I came here
where will i go when the time for exit arrives
Where are my parents, friends and old relations.
do they still exist for me and Do i care for them?

Am I friendly to myself
Why is it that I worry with all my happiness
Why the seeds of sadness always linger
And grow into big tree swiftly without any rain water

I know  unless we are the blessed saints and Siddhars
we cannot unravel the true meaning of our existence.
The quest for knowledge will be an eternal search
 and the basic questions will remain as questions
As there is no conclusion in conclusion.

Albert Camus comes to my rescue:
"You will never be happy, if you continue to
search  for what happiness consists of.
You will never live if you are looking for
the meaning of life"

What should I do?  We shall read and ruminate
and  appreciate all the pleasantest things in life.
raise our voice of dissent against all kinds of
Intolerance and nation dividing stupid acts
By eating anything we like
Praying any god we adore
loving anyone with whom the chemistry clicks
Reading any book that elevate us
beyond the narrow boundary of caste  creed  and  colour.

We shall neither wound nor offend by our word or thought
and always resist any domination or dictation by any
on what I should eat which language I must read
and whom i should marry.
We shall keep all the stray dogs the mad ones
Away from our sweet home
And never allow to mess up our life.
We cannot and will not allow our freedom of action
to be squandered away by madmen on the streets
not tamed by the Law or authority.
