Young participants of a Mathematics convention foxed by terror riddle

Coming from 18 countries, some budding mathematicians are in India to seek solutions to some complex number theories in the International Mathematics Convention, at City Montessori School, in the city.

However, on the eve of their convention, they took some time out and prayed for a solution to the rather most complex puzzle troubling the globe — Terrorism.

Visibly shaken from what they saw on news channels since last few days these wizards-in-making pledged to strengthen the unity cord that binds global citizens.

While paying tributes to those who lost their life, representatives of future generation prayed for their safe and secure future.

“Why can’t they follow the religion of humanity which lights the lamp of unity in every hearts,?” wondered Majid Rasool, a student of Oasis School, Karachi, Pakistan.

Asserting that terror has no religion, Rasool says his religion only talks of peace, harmony love and truth. His batch mate Mohammad Saad Marfani echoes the same thought. “They may have targeted Mumbai but we felt the pain too. I wonder what stuff their heart is made of,” he says. “Aren’t blood colours same irrespective of boundaries people come from,” questions Riyan Iqbal Qureshi, another student from Pakistan.

Shashank from Sri Lanka wishes he could solve the mystery called terrorism as easily as he solves a mathematical riddle. Jim Sender Lay from United States who had been a Gandhi admirer hopes peace will return soon to the land of greatest peace apostle.
