...

Time and again, history repeats itself, yet its lessons are rarely learned.

We are all too aware of cowardly terrorism, mindless violence and sudden death, yet everytime we are confronted with these, we are jarred out of our complacency; sadly, only for a short while.

Mumbai November 26, will soon be yet another statistic, yet another day we would all rather forget and move on. But, we as ordinary citizens, ought to be more aware, aware of the menace that pushes its roots deep before it explodes. We ought to keep our eyes and ears open and cultivate the tendency to be "Active and Aware Citizens' rather than mere onlookers. As we go about our dad to day lives, we ought to be on the lookout for anything that is not normal and report it to the authorities.

If only as much energy was expended by seemingly normal but crazed lunatics into doing some good instead of creating chaos... we would move Forward .. not Backward..



Those who have lost near and dear ones, whose minds are scarred can never be compensated enough. I would like to however salute our brave Police Officers, Our Army and Navy men for their wonderful courage and selfless sacrifice.
