Sharing the same air with Abu Salem....

If you don’t know who he is google him. Wikipedia says that Abu Salem (born 1968) is an underworld don originally from Azamgarh district in Uttar Pradesh, India. He is convicted for the 1993 Bombay serial blasts case and killing of India's music baron Gulshan Kumar (1997).
Well, it occurred quiet coincidentally. We were travelling in the 2926 Paschim Express from Chandigarh on our way back home. When a little rumour told us that Salem was in the next coach. We sang halleluiah and got off at the next stop to get a good glimpse of him. We behaved like star struck hooligans whose long unheard prayer had come true. My two near and dear friends even clicked a photo with him. All this for Abu Salem. The joy and happiness that he gained from this at of ours was evident in the huge smile of his.
But did we forget the blood he has on his hand. He is the cause for several deaths. We made him a celebrity as if what he did was something totally forgivable or that the killings of the commoners do not matter. But before I berate us I ask myself, did we do it consciously? No, came the answer from deep down. Are we not smart or intelligent enough to understand the stupidity of the affair? No, we have the brains to draw the right conclusions. Then what is it that made us behave in that way? The enthusiasm! I think. I mean what else could drive a set of to-be graduates to behave in such star struck manner.
As I write this even I am confused. The two of my friends who clicked the photo are simpletons. They got carried off a little.. or a lot. But I admit that I am not that a simpleton.
Leave it!! I am happy that we could get a glimpse of this culprit and I am happy that my two blond friends have something to show off.

May be in future when I decide to write about this topic again I will have my thoughts in an organised manner so as to I can blurt out the exactly right thing.
