Is it all about money?

Money, yes i know it is one of the most important aspects of our life but i firmly believe that it is just a small area of our concerns and should never take the centre stage. But when we look around we find that everything and everyone are so much into its grip that they can not imagine that there can be life beyond the green/orange coloured notes. I do not deny the power of money because i am also under its spell, but i do try to keep my feet grounded so that i like all others donot get carried away. These thoughts about money have started haunting me since the Gujarat elections. Therein our 'Honorble' CM ( "common man") had harped on the large scale economic development of Gujarat & inticed the commmon man to fall for his business tactics. And the reality is that he finally did win!!!! So it made me wonder whether economy is the only thing that should determine the character of a person? Should we simply forget Godhra and what followed? How can he get away with these obvious horrors listed in his account? Well here in Guj whenever you try to talk a different language there are more than enough voices to silent you. There has to be some people who can show us the way out of this. Let's pray that tomorrow will be a different day.
