Why we hear govts in India getting toppled on the prices of onions than more serious issues like law and order, development etc?
Because the country itself is like an Onion !!!
From outer layer all are Indians...
Peel one.....different religions,
Peel next one...different castes,
Peel another.....different languages,
Yet another.....different cultures,
Peel another...different food habits,
Keep peeling...you will never hit the end....
Layers - All different and all indifferent.
And....The more layers you peel, the more tears you will get.....much like a real onion.

Life is calling.....where are you?
Once I was taking a public bus to my office in Singapore. It was a bit crowded. After couple of stops, this adorable, chirpy, little (around 4 -5 years old) Singaporean girl boarded the bus with her mom.
I gave her my seat, she sat and immediately pointed out to my bag in front of the seat "Whose bag is this?". I smiled " It is mine, with your permission, may I keep it there?".
She said OK and got busy in her own sweet little world and started singing la la la la....
Very sweet voice...then "we are a family" and then some other songs....Her mom started feeling embarrassed and asked her to stop making noise....
Noise? You call this noise? ... and why do you feel embarrassed? you have such a sweet happy kid, please feel happy not embarrassed.
And guess what?
Most of the people in bus had their earplugs on, were completely into their smart phones, Facebook, emails, gaming and what not.....not even bothering to look up....
Hello....there is life happening around you and don't want to witness it? You just want to be slaves to an Apple.... ( Remember, what an apple did to this earth)?
Be in the present, folks......There is God singing through an innocent little kid...maybe an elderly person is standing next to you and he/she needs the seat more than you do....
Maybe.....
This incident reminded me of a story :
In a train, there was a young man with his parents, whose behavior was not "normal" ....
He was jumping with joy at small things "Look dad, the trees are running so fast in the opposite direction...look at so many cows in the field..." and so on. His parents were overjoyed and tears of happiness flowing down....
One fellow passenger gave a very weird look and said " I think you should take him to a doctor?"...The father said " Sir, We are just coming back from a doctor's place...Some kind soul like you donated his eyes and my son can now see...after being born blind..."
