The Sound of Drones and Shells...

The sound of the drones and shells and mortars have made the world numb.Indeed numb.We thought they were aberrations..First Palestine then Syria,Iraq and now Yemen.They no more are aberrations.They seem more to be the customary song that every man has to wake up with.There's no use trying to comfort yourself saying that it has happened in some far corner of the world, some far corner that it does not affect you in any manner.The rivalry.the cries of pain and the grievances have no geographical bounds.Then why differ?Why fight in the name of religion?Why make people suffer?Why be the cause of their pain?You may be able to answer the before me.But not before God.Never will you be.Never.....

As a qawwali enthusiast, I've literally grown up listening to qawwalis that sing praise of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (most of which were composed by Amir Khusro, whose tomb lies just opposite the sufi saint's). And the first time I visited the place, I expected to be transcen
