When will it end?

As members of a Sikh community in Wisconsin struggled to come to grips with a shooting that left six dead, the incident became a trending topic. Someone using the handle Daneboe tweeted: 'Another mass shooting in the US? At a Sikh temple? I am profoundly disappointed by the hate and ignorance in this country.'

When will it end?

Back in the day
What life was like when we were kids — this was another topic of discussion prompting these among other wistful comments: ‘I didn’t have to worry about problems or issues. I would just have fun’; ‘TV shows were way better than they are now’; and this: ‘I would put my face in the fan and talk just to hear that robot voice. Now they have an App for that.’


The last word
From industrialist Anand Mahindra: ‘Alas, we shall never again be able to use the term ‘Martian’ to connote something or someone completely alien and unknown.’
