Life in the times of terror

Yet another act of terror has been inflicted upon us by the unabashed enemies of humanity. Footages of the dead and injured interspersed with interviews of key witness, the sheer helpless babble of our rulers, and the desolate faces of people who have just lost someone very precious in life keep filling in the prime slots. In a few days things will be back to normal and the media will report about the resilient spirit of the Ahmedabadis and Bengulureans just as it did about the Mumbaikars and Hyderabadis.

I often wonder whether our resilience has anything to do with the conviction of fighting out the enemy or it is just plain apathy towards the issue at hand primarily because it didn’t happen to us but to somebody on TV. In our desire to just get on with life we are becoming easy preys to these sons of Satan. And even our efforts towards amelioration have come to cipher because in our hearts we know

मुझे जो मेरे लहू में डुबो के गुजरा है
वोह कोई गैर नही, यार एक पुराना था.

Life in such times is a collage of fear, despair, tyranny, and cynicism. Is there any hope?

The world needs a dialog- a dialog between the freedom fighter and the terrorist.

Its interesting and represents the true state of minds of the commons. But, is there a solution? If so its time we share it.
