WHERE I LIVE...

Have you ever looked into those eyes of your child asking for a chocolate…Or ever peeped into his classroom to get a glance of true innocence…Ever tried playing their favourite game with them to see them beaming when they win…And the very next moment you see them torn into bits and pieces right in front of your eyes and have to bury them with your own hands…Yes, in recent times people have become so scared about their lives that they find it almost impossible to feel safe and sound. Be it a blast or kidnapping or an accident, there is a major destruction of life in every case. Riots, revenges, blasts, burning down trains, kidnapping, rapes, and theft are now here to stay. This has been going on in the country for quite some time and looks like people these days are getting "used" to it by now.

In the past few years people have been experiencing so much pain and have been suffering so much that they have lost that courage in them to face any situation. Many bomb blasts took place in Gujarat, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Haridwar and some parts of the world like Iran, Iraq and Kashmir have got accustomed to them by now. They already have done a lot of damage to life and managed to disrupt the harmony and in no time we witness another series of bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad causing chaos and enormous loss of lives and property. We see people running around to find their dear ones and calling for help. Loss of hope, loss of happiness, loss of their loved ones and loss of a desire to live is what is left aftermath. Burdened life with depressed thoughts creep over and it gets really tough to overcome it.

There is no peace in the world today because there is no more peace left in human beings and in their minds. Who do we blame for this? What do we do about it? When is the world going to be a happy place again? None of us have an answer for this. This was not the place where I once lived…this was not the place where I once played…this has become the place where I don’t want to live…
