Not Again! Stop Killing Innocent People

It gives a deep insecure feeling, seeing people bleeding and dying in Mumbai. The last thing that could be attacked are hospitals, and it's a time to stop the terror. Railway stations, hotels, tourist places, hospitals, shopping areas, temples, trains, buses, and the list goes on n on of all the terror strikes happening in India. Are our cities so vulnerable to terror? This cannot happen without local support and it is a shame to note that our intelligence agencies could do nothing as the country is bleeding one city after the other.
Hundreds of lives thorn into pieces, eighty people dead, ongoing encounter and people held hostage. Its heart- breaking to see the wailing people and their families, to see the injured and dead. Taj stands tall in front of the Arabian Sea retaining the glory of the best hotel in Mumbai. Colaba is a posh southern area where you can see happy tourists riding the horse chariots and taking the boat rides at Gateway of India. All these places are now under terror, pain, and fear. Its time that strict security measures are taken to protect the innocent people. Be it in what ever form of terrorism, this has to stop and stop now.
Government and people should work together to eradicate this contagious terror that is threatening the National Security. If there is something that we can learn from the western world, instead of picking the practices of celebrating valentines day and Halloweens, we should look into the way people handle distress calls, and the importance given to homeland security. Have we ever thought about it, do we have strict visa regulations, do our airports guarded against importing terror, are our borders safe and secure, is our internal police and intelligence strong enough to identify issues before they happen? Are our ministers capable to handle security issues, than to come on live TV and show sympathy every time an adversity happens and talking all parrot talk about compensation, requesting calm, and proclaiming that we condemn this? Who are funding this atrocities and what is the motive behind every blast? There are major hidden questions that need to be answered and uproot the last roots of terror in India, or else, devastating families and deepened scars of insecurity and fear will remain breaking the peace of our homeland.

Missing the first man in my life!

There could be no better day to recall a person who cherished in my dreams, who nurtured me as a kid, who loved me more than any one else could, and dreamt all my dreams even before me. November 26th happens to be one such day, that the recollection of those wonderful days enrich my day and re-vibrate my energies to the fact that I have to fulfill some one's visions for me. The best I could do, is to make his dreams come true. His pride in me to multiply where ever he is. His blessings to shower upon like ever and his spirit guiding me always.

A Man with Smile. That's how I remember this great man who happens to be the first and for the most part of my childhood, the only man whom I knew. He taught me my first words, walked with me my first steps, pampered me with first toys and gifted me first books. He taught me that reading improves your knowledge, your vocabulary, your communication skills and also your creativity. His love was so simple and vast that I haven't seen him hurting anyone in life. A man of passions, love for his family, devotion to god, work is worship and a great neighbour and friend. Even after 16 years that he disappeared into the god's kingdom, he is still alive in thoughts and memories of not just his family, but his friends and neighbours. No wonder, we are lucky. I am proud that he happened to me in life as my great DAD!!! Happy Birthday Daddy, though I know we don't have you today amidst us, you are in our thoughts and our focus in life towards goodness and growth. The smallest tribute we can pay for you would be to bring in smiles of people around us, be sincere in all our work, dream big and work towards it and keep up the basic values of life that you enriched in us. Love you Nana!
