What I first saw on tv was a young college- going boy with a big bag slung around his shoulder,wearing branded modern clothing .But I couldn't believe when,after few seconds, he was declared as terrorist ! I was taken aback and was forced to wonder why someone of my age would turn into a terrorist.
26/11/2009....How fast time has gone by , as if it was happening now,
as if we could still hear the explosions, people crying after being hit by bullets and the noise of the firings on all news channels. Above all, I still can't forget the face of that young terrorist whose eyes were filled with hatred, as if like a wild hurt lion, he was searching for prey. THE TERROR IS STILL FRESH FOR ME .
No offence meant,but I don't believe in lighting candles after such attacks, because like the candle flames,that spirit also goes off after sometime .What's the use of lighting candles after darkness has struck manys lives?Only demonstrations and agitations won't help. As soon as people go home, they forget what they demanded and what actions they expect. Its been over a year now and still we don't see any concrete measures taken.What's the use of CCTV cameras with no person to actually monitor them??? After serious damage is caused, we run to the CCTV to see who the culprit is.The youngsters who were very furious and willing to bring about a change,have got back to normal lives.Still the security system at many places especially the coast side is questionable.

Time has passed but what still bothers me is how we can prevent such youngsters from turning into stone-hearted terrorists? They can prove to be a country's most productive assets but they instead ruin their lives and that of many others.
No religion teaches hatred and killing of other beings, We all are against terrorism, We are One, Mumbai has a Never-Dying Spirit, We belong to Modern India and know to stand for our rights, etc etc..... These are the common statements we come across after every attack.But they have become standard slogans by now. Its high time we do something constructive .
All other matters get discussed, but the matter that bothers me till date is what the future of youth is and what step we can take to avoid any other fresh,productive mind from falling prey to the vested interests of selfish leaders who are just so-called human beings.
