Wow. That's good. You managed to convey such a harsh sentiment in your haiku.

Oh, That is just awful. I am so sorry to hear it. I have a little boy that just turned eleven, I cannot even imagine what his family is going through.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
