कनाडा और भारत का दुरूह काल

  कनाडा और भारत इन दिनों समाचारों की सुर्ख़ियों में है। ढेर सारा वक्त तमाम लेख और TV समाचार के बुलेटिन में जाया हो रहा है। पर बीते बरसों, लगभग 40 साल पहले, 1982, 1984, 1985 में भी एक ऐसा ही दौर आया था। राजनयिक संबंधों में कमतरी और नागरिकों के लिए दुरूह समय था वो। उस समय कनाडा के प्रधान आज के प्रधान मंत्री के पिताजी थे। इसीलिए कई पत्रकारों नें एक अंग्रेज़ी कहावत के साथ आज के तनाव को कम करने की कोशिश की है कि, “An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” इन संदर्भों में अभी के एपिसोड, कमजोर याद को रिफ्रेश करने जैसा है फ़िलहाल तो। और अन्तरदेशीय सुरक्षा मामलो में कॉमनवेल्थ देशों से कितनी अपेक्षायें की जानी चाहिये, सोचना होगा, जिससे निराशा न हो।

Regret, remorse, nuclear scientists and atomic bomb

Life is lot more fragile than we think.  So you should treat others in a way  that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible,  sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort,  then weep and wring your hands after  the person dies. --Haruki Murakami  "Out of curiosity, I have always thought about the minds of scientists working 72 years back in Manhattan project then in 1948 and whose labor was materialized in less than a month time after Trinity test, into a man hunting arsenal causing massacre at large in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August 1945, culminating into the last bloodiest scar for humanity to remember for generations, if they do not learn any lesson from. From their statements, some being quoted below for easy reference, one can easily conclude their utter frustration from this outcome with a collective sense of regret. --Author J. Robert Oppenheimer: ' We have made a very grave mistake ', and ' in some sort of crude sense

Oppenheimer and his inspiration

'Bhagvat-Gita' scriptur         "I have always been curious to know the inspiration behind those brains of key nuclear physicist, working in the 'Manhattan Project' in 1945, resulting in nuclear bomb then code named 'Gadget'.         And here comes a book, from the 'Hindu' scripture 'Bhagavat-Gita', which 'Oppenheimer' quoted before and after the 'Trinity test', many a time.         Hard it is to conclude if the 'Gita' was/is a book inspiring for a decisive fight against enemy or a truce resulting after the war of such a ferocious magnitude.         What an irony, the war referred in this scripture was finally fought with 'Brahmastra', a name in 'Sanskrit', believed to be a nuclear weapon of that time."  --Author  July 16th:  Every year this date reminds us about first nuclear detonation, code named Trinity (assigned by Oppenheimer), tested successfully in 1945 on th
