Thanks for sending it such a good gift in my 10th birthday. I like Harry Potter very much. I am very happy dada. Missed you a lot in my birthday party. You know, I got a video games set from papa. Mom prepared lot of sweets and dishes yesterday.
All my friends came in yesterday’s party except Rahaman. I missed him too. I want to go to his house just to know if everything is well, but mom is not allowing me. She is afraid that I will eat something bad in their house. You know beef is prohibited in our society. Papa told Cow is treated as our mother in our religion. In our house we have a picture of God Krishna who stands with a Cow. Mom worships him everyday. She tells cow gives us milk, cow is our mother. Then why others eat it? They should not.
But then why we eat mutton! Last time we went to Kalighat temple in Kolkata, I have seen hundreds of innocent goats for slaughter. I asked papa why we are killing them. Papa told it is religious practice. I don’t know what religion is. But if religion asks my father to kill any man, will he do the same.
And dada Love you too.
Yours’ Papu.

Keshi.
You have really made us think once again Pijush. This is the beauty as well as the harshness of diversity and its just that we have to co-exist respecting every community even though these questions will always remain...nice post!
Nice post, but i think most of it CAN be answered. Who wrote this?
Hey is this a real letter from someone or you typed it to raise some very pertinent questions.
You know what - there are pretty much no answers to these questions. However differently we may like to believe, in all likelihood Darwin was right - we are highly (???) evolved animals after all!
Nice Post Boss.
Something on a lighter note, not to be taken seriously...
Two facts -
a) In India cows roam the streets
b) In India people still go hungry each day
If these people start eating those cows, both the problems could be solved :-)

Good thoughts. I agree with you. I am a non vegeterian but I am trying to get back to vegeterian ways.
Very nice and touching posts. These are questions that are really hardto answer, ever.
