Think Once...

It was a fine morning, quite a normal one; everyone was busy with their daily schedule; suddenly I got a call from one of my friends and he said “Hey, do you know yesterday a blast took place in Pune” I was shocked when he said this to me; I replied “No, when did it happen?” “Yesterday, in German bakery, at about 7 30 pm” he answered. I very quickly took a summary of the news from him and said “Yar will call you back, ok” after that I called all my friends who were in pune; they all were safe. So I thanked God once and resumed my daily business.

This is what normally happens with all of us, if something happens somewhere we very quickly try to know whether the people who are related to our life are safe; and if we get to know that they are safe, we say thank you God and then we forget the matter, as if nothing has happened which was unnatural. Now just think once that someone who was close to our heart gets seriously injured in such a case, and then what will be our reaction. ‘We’ll be full of anger, will directly go to the media, will ask the cops as well as government that what all they are trying to do in order to arrest the culprits, was the government not having the information of any such activity from the people of intelligence, and if they were having such information then why didn’t they try to share it with the people.’ If this much we could not have done than definitely would have done as much as we could, that too in the case when someone very close to our heart is suffering, at the time when our mind has stopped working and we have become hopeless, when not only eyes but heart is also crying with the same intensity; at that point of time also if we can try to do whatever we can, then why we are quiet, are we waiting for the time when some part of our own blood gets injured, or are we waiting for the next calamity to take place? We have to wake up, we have to think, and we have to give our hands to the people who have suffered. Their mind may not be in the condition to work properly, but ours is; then why are not we using it. It’s the time when we need to stand up, to prove that it’s not just the matter of one person but it’s about the whole country, it’s about humanity. And if we are thinking that what we can do then at least we can use the power which our constitution has given to us, the power to speak our mind. Don’t do it for your country, for humanity but do it for yourself. Always remember if we are together no one can break us, no one can harm us.
