Baby Moshe, 26/11, and expectations...

I do not follow this baby story but I think it will depend to the parent who adopt him. The parent would be responsible for him until he can make a choice of his own, so I think choosing a god parent is more important here. Getting even should be avoided at all times cause it would ruin the baby's life when almost human nature wants peace and happiness. I don't think I know what I am saying here....

Moshe is already a celeb may not be around the world but definitely among the elites and the High Profile guys around... So I think he has less to worry about the Career as he grows up... Unfortunate for him that they took him away... if he would have been here, he would already have had millions to his name... (and I am not sure may be he already has some of that millions) and with that amount he could have well planned and well decided on what career path was best for him... Politics for sure if in India. And about the terrorists sniffing him out in his 30s or 40s... he already is experienced and can handle them the next time and I hope this time he gets his chance...

Hello, vannie, Any child should not be pushed to choose a education/career he/she may not like. Nobody has any rights to force any child with their interests and ambitions. Having said that, every child has some special talent and interest. If we allow them to choose the field they love, other things will fall into place. This boy would have been psychologically affected by the 26/11. He should be given extra care and love and raised. Let us be positive and hope he will come up with flying colors in life.

Hello vandana, the tragic and brutal incident snatched away Baby Moshe's safe future. What he would be that is not the question. Moshe's parents might have some plan for their baby. I don't want repetition of such brutal incident. I want safe future of all children.

Hi vandana see www.ted.com/talks/steven_pinter_on_the_myth_of_violence.html SEE LINK WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

well i too believe we should not be forced by our parents to decide what we become! but it should not be at the other extreme as well. Parents can influence the decisions of their children. Man after all is a social animal and well if you don't take any opinion or get influenced by someone in family, what;s the point of having a family. But having said that - it does happen that parents decide future for their children and force them to follow the path they have chosen for their Children! this is wrong and parents should not force anything! I just think we need to strike an equilibrium somewhere and as for myself, i have been lucky to b blessed by parents who understand me a lot but i often their opinion on many important matters and it does matter a lot in my final decision!

I saw today Baby Moshe in a televised interview ( reporting impact of 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes). The boy looked happy and playful. His grandparents have only high praise for the boy, deservedly so. For a young boy who has endured so much and is trying to lead a normal kid's life. I think Baby Moshe's grandparents have got it right. Trying to raise him normally in Israel. He already is doing a lot for all right thinking people. Teaching us value of innocence, love and life. He is a symbol of peace and universal brotherhood. He is a bright boy who with god's grace, his grandparents grooming and his own desire can become what he would like once he grows up.
