By now it is been widely accepted a fact that India is a Land of Spirit. And by Spirit I don’t mean the ghosts residing on banyan trees. It’s the Spirit of the people that is seen after every calamity that strikes us, spirit to bounce back, to start from where we stopped and to build a new tomorrow. After all the calamities like tsunami, floods, earthquakes, accidents etc and now terrorism that struck us we as a nation have come out strong, we have proven that our Spirit won’t be conquered, we will successfully combat everything and resume our lives. No doubt, this is a very good sign but there is only one doubt nagging me “Why should We”. Why should we wait always for the disaster to strike , why should we bounce if we can prevent the fall in the first place. Why should we wait for something like Terror Tuesday to happen?
It’s easy to blame everything on the police force and government and crib about their lack of efficient work but what we have to remember is the fact that each of us is responsible about our own safety. In a country like our’s where population is bursting at seams its so difficult to check each and every person. We can surely help by being alert to our surroundings, by taking the trouble to actually watch our neigbours and neighbourhood , by being sensible enough to take responsibility in our hands and lastly by stopping the blame game and helping in times of trouble. Yet after all these catastrophe we haven’t learnt our lesson. Even now in trains and buses we find people oblivious to the surroundings sitting with the silly device called mobile earphones plugged in their ears not even bothering to see the person sitting right next to them and then at times dozing away to glory to extent of snoring like a one man orchestra.
Wake up people because if we don’t wake up now maybe we might not get an other chance at it.
