Almost one year has passed since the unforgettable & hideous act of terrorism in Mumbai. Image still so fresh in mind, fear still so palpable. How I was so scared to go out and feel safe.
What has changed in last 1 year? New issues, new politics, and over all time.
But has that really healed the pain or just subsided it?
By chance I happened to see this TV program on same yesterday and as soon as I saw the visuals of baby Moshe, Major Unikrishanan's dad and many others who lost their dear ones, something inside me also died. Tears started rolling out on its own looking at those visuals.
Many random thoughts started arguing with each other.
What kind of mindset you need to have to kill so many innocent people without even knowing the religion, color of skin, language they speak?
What do you tell a kid who lost both of the parents?
What does an old father do on loosing the only son?
What about the psyche of person who survived this? Is not it scarred for life?
What did I do as I know that none of my friends/relatives were affected by this?
What really made those killing machines to even think of doing such things?
Many more such thoughts. Might be Politics of some superpower is affecting a person sipping coffee in the hotel lounge. Could be suffering of an innocent made another one to become a crusader of holy war....
But what really has changed over the last year? Nothing really. Some new Kasab will be thinking of doing the same again. Some new Major Unikrishanan would be ready to defend his country against such an act. And I honestly pray and hope, no new Baby Moshe looses his parents for this.
I know this world is not going to change and many more such events will happen in future as well. I might continue to be busy with my own life and issues.
Politics will go on and so is life.
Love for humanity, love for mankind. Amen....
