Some three weeks from now the calendar year will start the countdown to close. We would also celebrate the birth of the Western messiah. Santa would descend from Scandinavia hopefully with a bag full of goodies.
Somehow the mood does not seem too celebratory. Raging debates and why debates, heated exchange of words, art bullets and arson are high from Hebdo to Turkey, Pune to Malta.
Let's accept. We have grown intolerant and intolerant towards pretty much everything - faith, creative freedom, sexual orientation, dietary choices, personal opinion you name it and we will retort. To the floating infant corpse to hauled up film studies students (incidentally they will go onto represent the society through their medium), its always someone else's way.
Therefore, therefore coming back to the year end round up can Santa pls get some peace and sanity in his bag this year? And please Santa when you're descending do look out for a little baby on the Austrian border who needs a few more years in his life. Gift him that.
