Resolution for New Year

My other series will continue but I decided that I should pen down my feelings during new Year and the result is the new post that you all are reading.

One Year has gone by leaving
memories behind and
A New Year has began
With a blank page, a blank canvas
For new memories to be penned
For years we have survived
And existed to face hardships
And have come out unscathed.

This New Year Lets All get
Together to make a new
Resolution that we will
LIVE LIFE to the fullest
And enjoy the happiness hidden
in even all the small things in
LIFE.

A VERY HAPPY & BRIGHT NEW YEAR
TO ALL OF YOU!

This is the New Year resolution that each and every one of us should make this year. This resolution is applicable not just to people of India but to all the people around the world. I am a recent blogger but have been following a lot of blogs regularly. Lot of people have written about the 26/11 terror attacks, its aftermath and as to what the government should do about such attacks and so many other related stories and articles. Lot of us have even given our suggestions as to what the common man should do in view of such attacks. Today, on this new year, I want to talk about this attack and related things on a completely different dimension.

I think the media has done an overrun on this attack and are still in the process. All the live coverage, the sensational running commentaries, the bold statements, bolder revelations and postmortems and the thorough whipping of the politicians and the administrative machinery of the government body did strike some chords and we saw some reaction after the strong accusations. But now is the time to sit and reflect. Have we done enough? Or have we missed out something which is more important and relevant, in this whole blame game?

The world has seen a lot of bloodshed in the form of terrorist attacks in the recent past. Also, there has been a phenomenal increase in communal violence in the past few years.

I can even now remember the chaos after the Babri Masjid incident. I was in school then and we were living in Kolkata at that time. There was a curfew for almost a month. I remember the Babri Masjid incident distinctly because my grandmother who had come down to Kolkata at that time got inflicted by Typhoid and was lying senseless oblivious to the happenings around her. That was one of the first major communal incidents in India. But now in the past 4 to 5 years, these clashes have become more common and we have seen it all. The biggest blow to India and to the world was 26/11 after the 9/11.

Today, I am going to take some time to talk about a few things which I feel are more relevant in life than the incident itself. We saw the extensive but not exhaustive coverage by the media on the 26/11 incidents. The news channels and the news papers went on and on for days together trying to complete the jigsaw puzzle of the 26/11 terror attacks. As of today, the government have enough evidence to nail Pakistan and assert that the terrorists are originally from Pakistan. The blame game is still on.... something similar to Coffee and Toffee fight. The fight continues.......

But what we have forgotten is that this is not a singular deadly incident that is happening around us. People Wake Up. Look around you. You will find a Swapnika dying everyday because of acid burns, a girl in Noida gang raped by five youths, parents killing children and many more. Not just these, what about the Godhra deaths? The twin cities blasts, the Ahmedabad bomb blasts, the Malegaon bomb blasts,the Orissa communal strikes, to quote a few.

Can you think of any logical reasons as to why these incidents are happening in multitude? I am sure you people out there are intelligent enough to figure it out :-)

THINK ABOUT IT. TILL THEN.... :-)

This post will continue after some readers pen their comments....
