- Chapter 5 Story in a nutshell so far - I was walking in the street at my lunch break while I saw a crowd. I saw a different kind of horror plant peeping out from a man-hole and out of curiosity entered into it. I saw clones of myself. My friend and teacher who were dead were also there. But suddenly everyone disappeared and I met Hitler who welcomed me to Eutopia Universe. He told me that they have brought me here to help them correct the world and eradicate anti-social elements in this world.

Chapter 6

"You mean, I was chosen for a very special mission. I don't beleive you. You, of all the people, would never want to do good to someone. I think you are all a terrorist group and you want to use me against my own country. " Hitler said "Oh no..all the books have portrayed me as a bad man. Is it bad to be strict and confident? I've learnt a lot in Eutopia. Please don't call me a terrorist..we need your help" "Oh my God !! my head is spinning. I'm not dead..I don't understand what you speak. Hey, Hitler, I need to go to office. I have my lover waiting for me. I need to call my boss ..where is my cell phone..The time ..oh..where is my watch?" My head was spinning with pictures of my family, the crowd, my lunch, cell phone ringing, a bus, an accident and I fainted. I woke up and saw that Hitler was not there. I wanted to get away from this weird place as early as possible. I ran through a door and turned behind. There was no door. I saw Mahatma Gandhi there. I respect him a lot and paid my respects to him. I asked him "Where am I, Gandhiji?". He replied, "Son, You have mistakenly entered a different universe. We thought of taking your help but seems you are no different from the selfish people out there who have no humanity. Gone are the days when people loved each other. There is hatred everywhere, an eye-for-eye is what today's world is about." I told, "But,Gandhiji, India is still a peaceful nation..its only the islamic terrorist groups that destroy peace in the nation". He led me into a room where there was a large theatre screen. We watched all the incidents that happened in India. I was deeply moved seeing some incidents. It showed some tapes of how terrorists are created. How true the saying is, "A child is how his mother made him". All the terrorists that we saw were either deserted by their parents immediately after birth or did not get the proper nurturing from them. Gandhiji spoke, "Son, do you see those people out there? Those young men are manufacturing bombs. These people have forgotton the sacrifices we made to bring peace. After I died, I atleast had a satisfaction that people would live happily. Now, its disheartening to see our men kill themselves. There's bloodshed everywhere. What can you do to save this world?" I thought for a while. "Gandhiji, terrorism is a disease which has spread so quickly among people. Hitler, told me that, the aim of this project is to eliminate anti-social elements". Gandhiji sadly said, "Ahimsa, is no longer considered a weapon". I told him, " But, killing one Osama Bin Laden or LTTE Prabhakaran will not solve this problem. There are not just a handful of anti-social elements to eradicate. People have to know more about Ahimsa. The education system has to change. There are no moral stories teaching basic values to our children. Noone knows the value of epics. Of what use is our education, if it doesn't help to mould our character? Even media has to play a major role. Instead of taking romantic movies there should be more meaningful movies. I think only if each individual changes the society would be free of terrorism. I know many of my friends in media & universities. We can take their help". ************* To be continued ************ Though I'd like to end the story, to keep the thread alive I'll stop here. Let me put Jeevan and Syam into trouble to continue the story !! KK sorry for the delay. Done !!
