Another day,another bomb attack.It's like our country is going through this continuous waking nightmare,which plays itself out night after night after night.30th October will be remembered (by the families of the victims) and forgotten (by the rest of us) as the day when 11 blasts ripped though the state of Assam,in unison I have nothing to say about the bomb blasts.After all,what is left that hasn't been said yet? I want to talk about you and I.
For decades now,these incidents are taking place,literally by the week.Serial blasts in Mumbai,Terrorist attacks on temples,blasts in Mosques,crowded markets,Bus stations,busy trains,you name it.Hundreds of people lose their lives in such acts.
We,however,pat our backs because,we moved on.We showed our resilience,the city started moving within a matter of hours,normalcy was resumed in a day.Those cowards can't break our spirits!We moved on. I personally think this is nothing to be proud of.I am ASHAMED that the city life takes such hits so lightly.I'm ASHAMED the news channels will all move to cricket news withing minutes of that first BREAKING NEWS,I am ASHAMED to look at the TV,see the casualties and just move on,saying I can't do anything about it,and I am also ashamed that I have become so desensitized to human suffering.
The people who lose their lives become mere photographs,to be hung on walls and remembered on anniversaries,their families,bite back tears and try to start living afresh.
You and I,we just move on...until the day arrives when it's our turn.
I ask you this.Instead of just shrugging your shoulders,why wouldn't you stand up,take notice of these things and help,in any way or form you can.How about thinking 10 times before you lend your phone to a friend for a day? Or spending a measly 1000 Rupees on getting your Wi-fi secured by an expert,or carrying out a simple background check when you rent out your apartment,sell a motorbike or a car? You don't have to be home minister of India to do your bidding in stopping these crimes.Like it or not,you and I are party to what goes on,and it's only fair that we do all we can to stop this.

Now, wat else is left to talk....?? Nothing....
I couldn't agree more with u ....
We realise the pain only when we loose our loved ones....
To initiate a change it's not sufficient if just u, me and another few join in, it has to be the whole majority of people starting from the so- called leaders aka politicians.... Possible??
Abt Indian News channels- forget it man, we've talked a lot abt those socially irresponsible organisations (at least a few of them)...
Good Post..
Cheers..!!
