Season for Intolerance

Is it just me or are we entering a phase of pseudo machoism and total intolerance. The heights (pun unintended) is the fight over Pakistan on an Air India flight. Imagine the plight of the passengers. Then there is this Bom..Ooops Mumbai affair! Can you believe that goondas who could care less whether you call it Mumbai or Bombay were out ruining someone's Friday! All because they called Mumbai as Bombay. I am sure the Tamil Kudimagans are waiting for people to call Chennai as Madras. It would be the day when they launch a protest in Bangalore to rename Old Madras Road as Old Chennai Road! As ridiculous as it sounds, I actually feel there is an idiot waiting to do just this. It seems that everyone is waiting to pounce on what the other guy seems to be doing!

Can we collectively take a break as a nation and just chill!
