I will edit this story in my spare time and post it back here. Some editing is required. When I say 'editing', I don't mean grammar. I don't think I know enough grammar to correct my own grammar. It is the context that I intend to edit.

Hats off... i would personally rate it along Trainspotting.Um..psychedelic in the most positive manner ..ha ha. how is that for a critique?;)

Sum_Off,

U R da man!

As much as I envy your writing skills, I find your writing very stimulating and refreshing.
I really liked the story of the woman who adopted two kids. And following lines have become my favorite:

“If Google was available then, you think Buddha would have left home in search of answers?”
……………….
……………………………….
“Now back to my original question. So you think Buddha would have left home in search of answers today?”

“I’m not going to worry about that, because I’m convinced that 21st century will not produce a persuasive guru like Buddha or Confucius. Before they realize their potential, insurance companies would have hired them all.

Kudos for your continued good work.

P.S.: Am I being an obtuse here? I couldn't relate this story to Iraq war. May be I will have to read it again for third time.
