And life goes on...
It has been almost 2 weeks since the terror attack and life is back to normal for all of us. Of what is left is the media representing bits and pieces of news , revelations of the terrorists and recent findings. Other than that , my and your life is back to track.
But I cant forget those 2 nights. Every hour seems to be incredible. There was this never ending ghasty battle going on , people dying everywhere , people shooting on the streets , the ATS chief dead and what not. AND I DONT WANT FORGET THE WHOLE THING EVER AND I have vowed to be a better responsible citizen.
I vow to be a aware citizen, I want to exercise my full rights as an educated citizen of India. I vow never to bribe anyone. I would defy corruption as much as I can, as in what I see. I would notify the local police station if I see anything suspicious . I wont shrug away from my duties and blame the system for everything around me. I wont be an indifferent citizen. I will do my part and make a difference. And there are billions like me who I hope would awake now to the new dawn which would make them see with clear eyes as what they need to make India a better place to live.
If each of us try to keep our part of anti-corruption activities,if we become vigil citizens of India and stop choosing our own government who are utter wrong, then we can expect some difference. We have been sloppy in the past. Most of us didnt care as which Government we were choosing , we were not just bothered.India was shining. We were all going with the flow of new economy booming and was not at all aware how vaccum the entire base has been of this strong economy. It has paid us back rudely and like how ! These are the same politicians chosen by us !
Lets be better citizen from now on. Lets not take our freedom for granted. Lets vote or not at all vote if the candidate is not right.
Lets be better Indians and make our country a better place to live in.

My letter to our neighbour.
Dear Pakistan,
I address you as nation and also an entity as a whole.
You just witnesses what happened to us. There are allegations and there are denials. No doubt my friend, we have suffered to a great extent. You saw as the drama unfolded , there was so much of deatha and blood. I understand there are grievences and there are issues.
But,
Tell me , what we gotto lose if we co-exist side by side with no hatred between us? Is that such a bad pictre to even imagine? Have we lost all our sanity to our hatred? Is our hatred so strong that we forgot we were an undivided Bharat even mere 60 years back and we fought together to gain our Independence day "together"? Did you forget that there has been no war between Hindu and Muslim even when we entered 19th century? Was it all that bad that we were brothers in our sacrifice to attain freedom? But what we also attained on 1947 is cold hatred towards each other which was primarily the manifestation of some power hungry politicians. These politicians are immortalised in the History of our country whereas we lost so much blood of our army men in fighting against each other.
Can there be peace? Can we there be transperancy? Can you imagine the world if India and Pakistan ceases to be at cold war?
Will that be all that bad to let our countrymen live peacefully without sleepless nights of death looming on their end?
Let me know, till then,
someone from your "neighbour".

No End to this War
Since last 26th Nov, everyone , every news channel, every possible media is showing the footage and discussion of what happened in Mumbai. They ought to as they are the voice of the mass and I am glad that the whole thing has been shown with restrained exposure and demenour.
But the terror of Indian Politics continues to unfold. The latency of the current government and the farce that they created by suffling top politicians is nothing but to recompose the party image. This terrorism disguts me. How can we deal with our internal chaos? And the chaos is to such an extent that at this time of crisis , unlike pulling up our socks and tightening the belt , everyone is involved in a blame game which has got no meaning , no outcome.
We want a result. By this I dont mean that we want War. As war would only magnify the situation which we just had. Instead of 200 people, 2 crores would die. The common men suffering will see no end , and we will be left with such a vaccum that we would wonder what we gained against Pakistan by going onto war. The Indian Army will lose more Unnikrishnan for a cause which will still not cease to exist.
Tell me, if we go for a war and India or Pakistan wins/loses, at the end, will it also mean end of terrorism? If terrorism doent cease to exist , then the whole point will be lost along with thousand lives further more.
War is not an option, we do not trust that our neighbour will hesitate to drop a nuclear bomb in our country. What they have to lose anyways? They have already lost creditibility and face to the whole world. One more incredulous and vicious step will just add to their history of hatred towards India and certainly, only common men will die. the top shots diplomats declaring and taking the glory of the war will continue to live for another fifty years to tell the story. Only families like Garhar Singh, Unnikrishnan will live to die and lament the true heroes which song will be unsung forever.
I request the world to unite against these terrorists group. Religion should not be attached to these killers but everyone needs to have the sanity to keep religion out of the whole thing and stand as human first to save humanity.
This should come to a logical end. "Peace" has become a elusive phenomena now. Our child is growing up in an unsafe world. I pray to almighty that if "end" is what he has planned for us , then let the end not be so illogical and sad. We still have some goodness left among us and I hope some good sense will probably save the world from this terror.
Until then , my prayers are for the brave souls who died in this uncalled death vortex.
