Life I believe is a wonderful gift, a gift which only a few lucky individuals get to experience in this dark and dingy universe but sometimes I feel way too unlucky to be born on this planet where people want to kill humans and take great pride in doing so which, compels me to ask myself if I am lucky enough to still be alive? Thankfully the answer to this question is yes :) but lets face the reality we are not safe anymore as people have somewhere lost the motive of LIFE(which is not Live In Fear Everyday). Wanna know what my is my take on life?? Read on..
For a moment imagine the view of our beautiful planet from the space (..try google earth) everything looks so calm and all you can see is the beauty of earth , you can see the oceans which create the amazing blue effect .... wow so mesmerising, isn't it? At that point you don't even think for a moment that there are living organisms on this planet and every thing looks so serene and still . You sense nothing but positivity and no pessimism at all!. That is how you have to look at life each and every day. The moment humans start doing so I feel our planet would be a better place to live in(if not the best), because from that point of view your perspective towards life changes and you start believing LIFE is the best and the most beautiful gift any one can ever possess.
The other day(26Th Nov 2008) I was jubilant after witnessing a spectacular IND vs ENG cricket match and was going through the post match "Expert " analysis on one of the news channels . To my surprise the channel suddenly stopped the cricket analysis and shifted the focus towards the financial capital of India MUMBAI. Initially there were reports of a gun battle between two local gangs in the City. This news made me so unhappy that I switched off the TV in disgust and went to sleep. Next morning I got a big shock when I switched on the TV at 6:30 in the morning.... The gun battle in reality was a well planned terrorist attack at various locations in Mumbai the worst being at the extravagant hotels TAJ and Oberoi which not only had Indian Nationals but a fair number of foreigners as well.
India has had quite a few terror attacks in the past, but this one being the worst of em' all, killing almost 200 people and injuring more than 300 people. Each and every move the terrorists made was planned and tailored perfectly to cause maximum damage.They knew that if they entered the hotels it will be difficult for the armed forces to flush them out (as these hotels took "extra" care towards the privacy of their guests) and the ripples of the attack would travel continents and roll the political eyeballs as they attacked foreign nationals as well. Not only did they kill civilians but also killed few of the finest police officers India had.
Now coming to the main question,What did the terrorists gain out of this ..Money ? well may be ,anything is possible, but as they were on a suicide mission they wouldnt have in any case reaped the benefits out of the monetary aid or rather a cheap bait. I guess their family members would have got the money (God only knows). Come on .. how can you be so insensitive towards mankind and even think about gunning down or hurting innocent people blatantly with pride .I feel its shameful enough to even have such a thought in your head.
So if you are a terrorist and you happen read this article by any means please do read the first half of this write up again and have your thoughts sanitised , for the rest of you ,time to comment!.
