"What has anyone done to deserve this.."....this question keeps haunting me every time I look at the injured, the dead in the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai. It could have been me, my loved ones who were there that day on that ill-fated trains. In a fraction of second, so many lives met their untimely and tragic ends..so many dreams broken...why? How can anyone jsutify their cause by killing innocent men, women and children....who have done nothing even remotely to incur their wrath. Whatever the reason might be behind these inhuman acts of terror, how can "men" of flesh and blood do this to one of their kin,,,to mankind...How can anyone forget that we are mortals, that death shall spare no one, however powerful he or she might be; and that to whatever religion we might belong; to whatever race we might beolong, we are all the same. Our lives are entwined ...that we cannot live in peace if we try to disrupt the web of life. The story of one man, one family, one community does not belong just to itself...By causing sorrow to another, no one can be ever happy, however inhuman, and unfeeling he might be towards others...because there is soemthing beyond the capability of humans and that is his own destiny which is carved by every thought he think, every deed he does...in this web of life.
