Mumbai Bleeding.....
Yet another blast...and yet another day of ruthless killing, shooting and bleeding.
The financial capital of the country is bleeding.
Innocent people lost their lives - and now all that remains are those horrifying sounds of gun shots; the resonance of which can be felt throughout the world.
I have got to see all the misery on television for the last five days - and this thought always keeps haunting my mind "How safe is the country today" ?
These are the times when I realize that having a LIFE is itself so blessed.
My heart goes out to all the families of those innocent soldiers, commandos, Samaritans, police officers, young children, tourists, journalists,..who lost their lives during this gruesome act of terror. I can't imagine the kind of grief and sorrow these families might be going through at this point. Certainly an immeasurable loss.
I have never felt this unsafe ever. For the last five days; I've stepped out of my house only keeping my faith and belief in some mighty power above that I come back home alive. As I ride to work, as I go for walks, as I sit on the balcony - only one single thought keeps running through my mind - AM I SAFE?
Lots of apprehension;suspicion;fear...I can't think of anything else.
WHY? Why is the world turning into a deep grave? What kind of pleasure do these terrorists get by burning down hotels, railway stations, trains, markets? Is frustration and coercion only achieved though brutal killing? Do they not have families of their own; or friends? Why do these anti-social elements ruin the lives of so many people?
I wish I had answers for these questions. I wish I could undo all those depressing and dreadful events. Don't know how far prayers reach; but if it really can be heard all I need; ...all WE need as a nation, is PEACE and HARMONY!
Here's a tribute to all the victims of the Mumbai terror attack.
