Finally.

Finally.

Finally the fight against the source of fear comes to an end. But this isn’t the real end. This is the beginning. The start of the fight of a nation, united now, against the source.

The blasts and firings that shook the mighty mumbaites came to an end today after a 59 hour tryst.

Let me begin from the very beginning. Terror. Terror translates into a feeling that is stronger than fear. And people who evoke this feeling. Terrorists.


This terror strike is a signal for the entire world that, it is high time we join hands and work seriously on this. We should stop playing the blame game and work to strengthen ourselves so that such an act of misery does not repeat. It is useless to blame the intelligence bodies of our country, honestly how much can they do? The attack, as we all know was a very well planned one. It is no one day job. It’s pretty obvious that they had complete information of how, what and where. On the other hand our intelligence officials had none of that.

Our nation has been facing this from over the past 15 years. And now, our tolerance and patience has run out. For example, just because Mumbai is said to bounce back always with its undying spirit, doesn’t mean that you keep hitting it over and over again. This time, we’ll fight back and we have.

This poem goes out to all those who have laid their lives and their families. May their souls rest in peace..

Rest in peace
O mighty warriors,
You’ve done what none could.

Stood sturdy against the howling wind.

Life was the price you paid,
For life itself.

You maybe no more of blood and flesh,
But you live on, immortal,
in the minds of those,
for whom you bled.

Love is this,
You have shown us all,
Love for all brethren,
All humans alike.

No, mighty warriors,
This shall not be in vain,
We shall dismiss this darkness,
Make way for the light to shine,
Pave the path for generations to come,
Relish our beautiful world.

Let us all pray for the people of Mumbai and mourn their loss.
