“You are right. You know, the Indian Philosophy says that the only person, the one, who may be a terrorist, is the one who does not contribute towards the preservation and the natural development of nature. These are having the name of the Asurs, the creator of pollution at various level, but particularly in the nature. The Asurta is word for creating the disharmony in the nature, including in the food chain and the survival of the life. The modern term of terrorist does not seem appropriate in this context. The political terrorism thus is ruling with the theory of the divide and rule, which is not ideal for any country, what the global need seems is that unite and serve, the ideal of the political and governing philosophies of any political party in the world, is not it,” I say.

“Well, you seem to point something in it, what is it?” he asks.

“You are right. You know, the reason for expressing it is that the woman, who advised me not to lodge an application for PR; while I was studying in Australia; revealed horrific facts. When she came to India along with her husband, she confessed that her husband had submitted such an allegation against me, that I was almost a blacklisted person in the official files. How I would be having a treat in my motherland after he confirmed such allegations is a dream of the Dark Age, which he would claim. It seems as if his vision fulfilled as he earned a lots of name, fame and reputation and disgraced my family and me as well, while pretending to be our wishing well for us, while visiting us as a guest to support us. He made a comment that the Golden Temple was far away, which meant that I should never dream to go back to Australia,” I say.
