26/11 Mumbai "Un Hazaaron Ke Naam"



26/11 is something that must be deeply embedded in every Indian's consciousness. I wrote my blog about this extremely unfortunate tragedy when it happened but today I am again writing. Its still in my memories and touches me though I was not there and how much I try I cannot feel what people felt who suddenly found themselves in those terror zones.

Yesterday night I watched a movie called "un hazaaron ke naam" on television and I tried in my imagination if I was there at CST, Trident, Taj or Nariman house then how I would have felt. I couldn't hold my emotions for long when a mother lost her only son or when a wife lost her husband and her new born shot in head. I know sitting so far from such tragedies cannot make me understand every emotion out there but certainly watching them visually makes impact on every human heart because we too have families, we too fear losing life and our loved ones.

Few days back I came to know that a police officer Hemant Karkare died only because his bullet proof jacket was fake and later that jacket went missing from his dead body and even the files related to sale of bullet proof jackets went missing. I saw how Maharashtra CM couldn't answer that question during a talk show hosted by Barkha dutt. That time I felt when people in top positions so openly give careless & heartless statements then how much worth is a common man's effort who can just go on with may be endless debates or processions or never ending frustrations on system that we have created.
I don't know, we all don't know how things will change and may be we have to live with fear of being shot or lose our loved ones suddenly someday, somewhere. Perfect security we all know cannot be achieved but we know if political system finds human heart in them then highest level of security can be achieved.
