I am pleasantly surprised that the writer NM Kelby (see previous post) has picked up my blog entry about the Shah Rukh Khan airport controversy and put out a very generous post. Her post (read it here) does reaffirm the fact that one should never paint all people (Americans in this context) with the same brush.
Not all Americans are rude or offensive or uncaring, of course. Citizens of all nations are truly bound by a collective humanity with the same set of emotions. Unfortunately, our world is so complex and rife with the threats of violence and intolerance that uncalled-for incidents do happen from time to time. But we must not give in to the temptation of fomenting further unrest and, instead, move on with better understanding of each other. Do read Kelby's post to learn a lesson of humility and to know how to take things with a hint of sugar...
