friend or foe?

Doha airport was really crowded.the immigration queue seemed like a kilometer long and on top of that there was utter confusion all around. It took me quite some time to find the correct immigration queue. the guy standing in front of me seemed Indian.i was in no mood to talk.so kept mum and silently watched the things going around..he turned around and asked me. where are u from.? I said.India.. He said..I'm from Pakistan..then smiled at me and asked..FRIENDS OR ENEMIES.? i gave out a faint chuckle and said friends. He smiled. we started talking random things..passed comments at people..laughed..like long lost friends. :)
The day was 15th of august.Independence day.
India and pakistan were once one.I cannot understand the unnecessary hatred that some people harbour in their minds now.Its a simple matter of changing the way we look at things.peace and love is what both the countries need to show each other.Its been so many years since both the countries parted and still no sign of complete peace..as i said its all in the mind.i hope some sense gets into the minds of those few ignorant people wishing evil for the country.someday i hope things will change.More than 60 years spent fighting,will change into working hand in hand for each other's progress...someday i hope.someday.
