Coffee

The fresh breeze of morning, fragrance of flowers and warmth of bright sun tantalizing your physical being are absolutely delicious to the soul. Rich aroma of the coffee brew dispersing around your face, and you are ready. 

 

It was coldish in the early hours of the day and it does but completely engulfs one in some magical way. It feels as if you are spellbound, or in some kind of trance but in reality you are in the moment with every cell of your body. 

You are in the Now where there are no pains of the past, no anxiety of the future but only the Present Moment.

And then there is no mobile service. It feels as if we are back in the 80’s when we only had the facility of landlines. People in authority are trying their best to handle law and order situation prevalent in the country.

However, what we are doing is merely dealing with the Effect (mobile bombs, firing and suicide attacks via motor-bikes). The Cause (which is unlimited and unchecked supply of firearms, ease in getting explosives and poor Policing) is still there, untouched.

There is no point in taking care of the Effect until we first deal with the Cause. Nevertheless in the absence of serious political-will and long term commitment to erase terrorism completely; shutting down mobile service and banning motor bikes throughout the country seems to be the only available cure.

People in power need to keep in mind that these are serious issues and requires a great strategy. A wound which needs surgery cannot be healed by giving Panadol.
