Peace, please!

 Peace is piecemal currently! What with newer versions of the Twin Towers type of total annihilation being thought out in terrorist minds, though most courageously fought out by our very own Smit Machchar, can peace have any piece of peace at all? 

Why, just last month, peace was a major and high volume 'debate', what with Vidyanand Bapat giving interviews after interviews about noise pollution to anyone ready to conduct one, while the drum beats kinda decible levels surpassed the richter scale at its worst! 

Such fun contradictions are rampant, and everywhere. Russia and Ukraine talk of peace, and in the same week latest, they start bombing each other! As for Iran, I am not sure, Americans themselves understand what they are up to! 

With the Third World War appearing imminent, is not the World Peace Day a mere convention, just like the UN itself!?! Actually, the world needs to piece out such conundrums, if peace is to have any chance at all. 

No need to go to the Himalayas, themselves under tourist attack, even when the Everest is involved! Instead of further destroying that thinning Third Pole, on terra firma itself, nations need to urgently think peace-fully! 

Pratima@Peace is under threat everywhere, in the professional arena, in the familial space, and/or name any (-n-every) place. Hence the need to let it rest at least awhile in every human heart! 

Quote of the day:                                                           "World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion,” says Dalai Lama. 

Word of the day: prace                                                   Peace refers to a situation or a period of time in which there is no war or violence in a country or an area. It also means the state of being calm or quiet.
