The other day I was having my usual cup of espresso (an Indian version of milk run out coffee),my mom still trying to persuade me to go & have a bath.
My cell phone rings…(love these moments when u can avoid yet another bath). My friend on the other side with a panicky voice tells me of “Gun fires at Mumbai”. My leoish attitude towards Mumbai has been quite apathetic, Because of Raj Thakrey and his so called Marathi manoos who quite flagrantly move away the Bihari people from their state with glorified grin on their face(As if they got the Country free from whatever)…Though my view of perceiving Mumbai hasn’t been that good because of it’s dirty politics or my shear over attachment with my city is uncertain.
The next moment my sister raises a loud voice from the TV Room (as if the Mihir from kyunki dies for the 31st time)..but wait it was again something else “the T-word.”
“Terrorists have attacked the major hotels in Mumbai!! Hundreds of hostages inside. Reports of gunfire & explosions too.” The site of the major hotel Taj under flames of red and ugly fire made me numb and my nerves sweat.
All the news channels Times Now,NDTV,Aaj tak keep showing the same pictures of death dancing naked having it’s hideous laugh with humanity being ravaged. Rajeev Khanna, the Manager who had to lose his wife, his two children I think he still must be shocked and dumbstruck at the sudden calamity at his family. The spirit of Mumbai being ravaged by the terrorists because it doesn’t give in to terrorism ever!!
Well at such tainted times there is a cherry on the cake ==”5th Semester exams head on” drifting myself away at such a time to be calm I sit down to concentrate on the mathematical graphs and it’s derivations.
Trying to refresh the lectures of Mr.Bimalesh Nayak {Maths} I plunge into them vertex ‘u’ is directed to vertex ‘v’ and my … mind drifts me back at the sight of The Taj hotel into the room where the fire is callous where a family cries out, “Baba!!! Baba!!! Help us anybody” to the common man ,to God damn anybody to save them please. Or may be they are numb and have nipped their voices to keep them safe while they die in silence without a voice raised…!!!
Times Now Breaking news “101 Killed in Attack” keeps on flashing on the screen as if there is some discount on stale veggies at Big Bazaar.An interview including farookh sheikh, shefali shah,and suhel seth(the guy whose hair is white as a fairy and seems he never combs nor visits a barber,wearing a tuxedo)
Says “We are living in callous times, our politicians are inept. The home minister is the worst in the entire history who is not just inept,incompetent,inarticulate & he is reasonably unintelligent. You have done great coverage But this nation will forget in about four months”..These words sprung in a fire and force as if God had given me the super power or I was a mad scientist who could just pick up those Dastardly devils and squeeze them into the gutters, Mumbai is defamed of. I had never felt such a feeling of solidarity , of brotherhood towards the Mumbaikars as I did today, definitely Mumbai got dearer.
When I flash back into the times people break rules to get inside the Puri temple,or the railway station in Bhubaneswar, that I have been into without a platform ticket tells me deep. No one is safe..
Though I am just 20 I feel the DRDO has a lot of contribution to make for the security of the civilians,
· Advanced surveillance techniques, civil warfare and accurate and handy weapons.
· Robotics and automated gunner turrets..(Wheels with guns movable inside structures to kick some terrorist a##...)
· Independent and separate intelligence agency.(free from political influence)
· Automated Sedating structures at public places..(the way you get a mad dog under control)
No one is safe today, not you, not me.
I have heard of competent politicians like Indira Gandhi only in my bedtime stories from my mother.
Its high time we work for ourselves to build a safer country for ourselves.
May be the younger generation like Rahul Gandhi, Sachin pilot should be given a chance to work for the country.
I also hope the Government of Orissa too learns of it someday soon because we don’t have another Puri temple and Sun temple.
dude dats really true.... youth must be responsible for their sorroundings n should work for the upliftment of INDIA in ne way we can.....
ReplyDeleteyes we have been saying this since long bt never worked towards it.our previous generation also had such thoughts when they were young,but those thoughts were never turned into reality..so for upliftment of india we need to uplift our self first.if each one improves himself ultimately the country will improve
