Are there any coincidences in this world? If not, then I don’t know how on the exact same day that the election results were out, Star Movies aired a very relevant movie -“Lions for Lambs” starring Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise.

It raises a few basic and hence, disturbing questions – about politics, war and the state that the world has got into. True, India isn’t sending her troops to fight wars on foreign soil but there are some aspects relevant to India. Why don’t we do something about the rotting system than just complaining about it? How different are we from the ostriches when we really believe that we can lead peaceful secure lives when the terror is already at our doorstep? Are those of us who are trying to change the world the crazies or those who refuse to believe that something needs to be done to repair the world? Is there any solution to the fanatical medieval belief system that is out to gobble up the whole world? Is violence the only answer to violence?

The world has become a complicated place – there are complicated questions forcing the answers to be equally, if not more, complicated. Or is it that have we forgotten to look for simple answers?
