Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Murder is a Many Splendored Thing !




In pre-historic times , man hunted only animals – and to satisfy hunger.


Now , even as “ Civilized “ man continues to kill animals for hunger, he has also mastered the art / science of killing other man for ,


Ø  Anger / Jealousy / Greed / Sex or even Love


Ø  Property / Money / Pride / Possession / Power , or even Religion



And succeeded in giving this act , different “ Names “ ( depending upon one-at-a-time or many simultaneously ) , such as ,



Ø  War

Ø  Genocide

Ø  Ethnic Cleansing

Ø  Communal Riots

Ø  Murder

Ø  Homicide

Ø  Slaughter

Ø  Honor-Killing …………………. etc



Then he also “ Murders “ many people through negligence / dereliction of duty when he becomes “ Directly but Unintentionally “ responsible for ,


Ø  Sinking of leaky boats

Ø  Rickety buses falling into ravines

Ø  Fire engulfing theatres and malls

Ø  Poorly maintained buildings crashing

Ø  Trains de-railing

Ø  Driving while drunk  ………  etc


And now , we pride ourselves on being “ Civilized “ !


While animals / birds / insects continue to kill , only if they are hungry !
