Good Day, All!
When the ship M V State Of Tripura, owned by Shipping Corporation Of India, arrived in Haifa a day in 1996 late in the evening, for a short stay, I wanted to go to Jerusalem, taking a French leave. I was working as the first assistant to the Chief Engineer, who was an elderly Malayali, settled in Chennai, Named T B Srinivasan. But after berthing the main control room air conditioner failed due to a shortage of cooling sea-water supply to the system due to chocking of the pipeline. We needed it to run prior to sailing out from Haifa and I told my chief engineer to go and visit Jerusalem and I will stay back and get the job done with my crew. So we finished the job by 0200 Hrs the next day and I just went for a stroll on the streets of Haifa, without knowing anything much about Haifa. By the way, I am very poor in History and Geography and always in the engine room or accommodation and never had to see the navigational maps, even now I can not tell which country/ continent in which part of the spherical thing. But my son of 18 years is good at it and he clears my doubts easily. So as I have mentioned in my earlier posts somewhere, I visited Lotus Temple in Delhi and came to know Bahais too. But I didn't know when I set my foot at Haifa, it is the headquarters of Bahais. Now this much as a prologue and let me come to the topic.
Baháʼu'lláh claimed himself as a representative of God and what Jesus Christ used was never too conspicuous. Either way, it was good enough to bring fear in the bad guys; by the way who is not bad here? So all went and killed them. The clever ones who were sure of the end result stayed calm and got away without any blood stains on their hands or mind.
