Why, What's the point???

Terrorists attack mumbai - 26.11.2008 and never agian elsewhere

Have been glued to my television for the past two days and many many thoughts run into my mind varying from questions, anxiety, hatred, my childhood remembrance with  situation alike to this of the war which broke out between Hindus and Muslims in the year 1993. Much as I hate mentioning any kind of religions in my blog, but I've been left no choice if I have to mention the incident.

I was trying to see the situation from the media perspective, from the politician perspective, from the common man perspective, from the other nations perspective or even was wondering what would be going through in the gun men's mind. Though I have no expertise thinking in any of the above said, I was trying to reason out as why men invented powerful weapons, explosives and all all related stuffs which could bring on danger to own human lives. 

I couldn't bring myself to imagine the trauma of people who were there bravely all through the rough ordeal. And at this moment, hearing many foreign nationals say that were informed about the proceedings through telephone by the hotel staffs and as I read on the article in the paper about the hotel staffs guiding their guests towards the safety point I just cannot but marvel and salute the hotel staffs to really perform their duties even at the point which is so close to DEATH.
 
As the two points were cleared, the media houses focused on unfolding or I'd rather comment finding the fault and pointing towards the politicians. I couldn't help but wonder whatever happens here in our country politicians at no point are never gonna be spared. Be it praising less and accusing more.. politicians will remain in the center of the media and in critics for years to come. 

I was even wondering if all this would be forgotten and the aftermaths of this will be shown in the media or not as I can relate to one Noida incident, which captured the media attention almost an year ago or two was forgotten in a weeks time. And no body including me bothered to know what happened to the men who were involved in the barbaric act.

Even questioned myself and few people around me if they have ever known of a terrorism which has gained victory in it's mission? But I would like to also quote if their short mission is to create an havoc and bring horror, then they sure have attained what they wanted. Have seen many SM S's doing rounds in the TV telecasting the mixed the emotions of the people all around the country but I can certainly not quite guess the intensity nor the ratio of the country's population reacting to the incident.

Media covering 24 hrs and work towards gaining it's publicity and larger audiences, politicians visiting and marking their presence with or without any motive, headlines breaking now and then commenting on the braveness of the army men which I gather their performance of duty, few film fraternities gathering in media houses and giving coverage with their messages with or without publicity motive. 

I was amazed at the reaction on the news of few Jewish people at Nariman's point by their nationalists. How quick were they to respond and how quick they offered their condolences in more and more dignified manner. I was shocked to hear that the baby is turning 2 on No29, and today the toddler has lost his parents.

As I write this, the situation at the Taj hotel is still not clear. There are speculation that there might be one or two terrorists. My mind runs wild imagining the worst. However I hope not that the gunmen have their way out without answering for the horror they brought to the nation.

And I sincerely hope that our nation has enough equipments and intelligence to fight those mean fellows. I was going through the headline as one of the country offered India help in dealing the situation but read our nation has rejected any help. I would say when the much experienced nation offers help and it really won't cause our ego any cost to accept in these kind of tense situations. Why not seek help in this issue while we have been seeking help on more other matter?

I salute our officers and pray that their souls may rest in peace as they have lived a brave life risking theirs to ensure we all breathe. 
 
 I can't help but believe that terrorism has no meaning and can never win but why it's outrageous activities are still taking place?????? There's no point indeed!!!!
I rest here by praying GOD ALMIGHTY to instill some humanity in those who are lacking it.
And I sincerely hope after many years down the line whoever gets to read this find it as a history of terrorism which should have ceased to exist and not known at that period. 

Many a questions on my mind!!!!!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!!!!!

Faith
Hope
Live and let live.

My state of mind


Confusion : My state of mind at the moment. While writing this I wonder if my state of mind right now is only for the present or have I been confused all along the journey called life. Writing this as I am confused, would also like to wonder if I am confused about my job, about my future, about the way I am presenting myself, about my health, about my marriage talk or is it confused about just everything. Whatsoever I would always work towards changing this state of my mind.

Vaaranam Aayiram


Today, I had a chance to watch this much-hyped, much awaited feature film Vaaranam Aayiram
A beautiful journey of a young man, portrayed beautifully, I wish people could appreciate nice work rather than commenting on the story line and any negativities. The love life has been picturized so nicely, anyone would love to fall in love seeing that. If people are already in love then it'll be a definite trip of rememberance. A love, respect, admiration, strength and love of a young man towards his father is shown so brilliantly and as far as I remember I don't recollect any other movie of this category. 
Too many talks about the movie, why when who and all those nonsense facts. I got my movie review infront of me..My mother and my fren were crying while coming out of the theatre.
Now that's called impact of a movie, if Gautham was expecting these kind of reactions, well then here he gets...not just those two...infact many in the theatre left with tears rolling down thier cheeks...Well if I cried ?....my pride is too strong to let my emotion exhibit :-)

Phantom Calls


Phantom Calls, have heard about it, but until quite recent I never had experienced it. My ring tone was the famous "Cuppy Cake Song" and it's gotten to the point where I almost hear it all the time. It's not that I relate it to a mental state, yet it's quite annoying to know why I hear that. I almost heard the song last week and my mobile was in service center. When I had shared this Phantom calls with my friends, boy what joy I got in not knowing I wasn't the only one to experience it. As in exams when you fail and your friend fails too you actually get a joy out of it as you have a company.
I re-quote again..human mind is weird indeed!!!!

My Drive


Whoa......man, I now know why men go crazy for the wheels... My weekend treat to myself....I went on a long drive on our very own East Coast Road, believe it folks, I touched 100 and was crazy to do so. My only disappointment was there was no drizzling effect.. I wish so much that it  rained....Though my first car lesson was on ECR, this time I was on my own, I shut my fren to not to give me any instrutions.. as I always fumble only if I get running commentry. Now I understand the joke they make on women commenting while the men drives. Way to go Maddy!!!!
By the way I forgot to mention, I got my license recenlty!! hehe

Autumn Leaves


Oh God, I can't begin to explain what I feel seeing these autumn leaves. It gives me such a soothing and calming effect. It brings out the soft, untold and feel good mood. As they say "A thing of beauty is joy forever" it goes true for this Autumn Leaves. A road which is a bed of autumn leaves, with both chilling and warmth sense is definitely one of my picks of the best photographs. Awaiting to encounter it for real!!!!! 

"Plight"



God's own country, the land of beauty and bad omen!!!
  • A man comes and warns everyone at the household that they are going to attack the place, all people will go and hide in the fortunate or unfortunate dig holes inside the house. Those who act quick to hide will be saved the rest will find their places in heaven only to leave those who are alive-living dead.
  • A group of men will come and hunt for youngsters, pull them out and kill them in front of their own family.
  • Children and Old children are preparing just in case:
         and so on....so many horrifying, callous, cold-hearted acts happened, happening and God should put an end to it's happening any further. Yes, the above mentioned were incidents from people who lived to tell near my household. Until then I didn't the understand the depth of the grieve, and my heart cries out for people who are going through this God's construction-destruction theory in most unfortunate way and I wish I could do anything to make thier lives better and the only way I now Know is, TO PRAY.
I bow down my head for those who join me to pray for the betterment of our fellow men's lives.
