Today reminds us about the bloody, horrific, suicidal attack, by foreigners on simple, unarmed people. It took place on this day exactly an year back. I kept glued to the TV screen for almost a week till the media found some other scintillating news to divert the attention of the people.
Generally, the memory of an ordinary person is very short and with time the pain goes, the wounds heel and the civic society goes back to work. Somehow this incidence refuses to go. In fact it haunts me.
This gory incident has persisted; it has stayed rather every time it comes back to me with newer questions.
Have you forgotten the cowardly act of those faceless, brainwashed jihadis who mercilessly killed hundreds of Indian citizens and guests from abroad?.
Have you forgotten the sacrifice of men in uniform who gave their lives for your safety?.
Or have you absolved "the responsible" of their callousness towards giving befitting reply to our nasty neighbor.
The negative forces always look to be dangerous but in reality they are weak. The drakula, the vampires, ghosts, demons, pishachs like creatures scare those who are weak otherwise they exist in text only. Had they been strong they would have been ruling the world instead of us.
We must wake up to the call of KAAL (The eternal time). Leave the hypocrisy. Call a spade a spade. It is war against us and only we will have to fight and win at whatever level and from whichever side it comes. All Indians from all quarters, casts, religions, have to unite to fight this menace.
This time do not let this incidence of Mumbai whither away in the dust and become a part of history. This time do not leave this unfinished task for your children. Read the following poem every week, if not everyday:

इस बार नहीं
इस बार जब वोह छोटी सी बच्ची मेरे पास अपनी खरोंच ले कर आएगी
मैं उसे फू फू कर नहीं बहलाऊँगा
पनपने दूँगा उसकी टीस को
इस बार नहीं
इस बार जब मैं चेहरों पर दर्द लेखा देखूँगा
नहीं गाऊंगा गीत पीड़ा भुला देने वाले
दर्द को रसने दूँगा,उतरने दूँगा अंदर गहरे
इस बार नहीं
इस बार मैं न मरहम लगाऊँगा
न ही उठाऊँगा रुई के फाहे
और न ही कहूँगा की तुम आँखें बंद करलो,गर्दन उधर कर लो मैं दवा लगता हूँ
देखने दूँगा सबको हम सबको खुले नंगे घाव
इस बार नहीं
इस बार जब उलझने देखूँगा, छ्त्पताहत देखूँगा
नहीं दौडूंगा उलझी डूर लपेटने
उलझाने दूँगा जब तक उलझ सके
इस बार नहीं
इस बार कर्म का हवाला दे कर नहीं उठाऊँगा औज़ार
नहीं करूंगा फिर से एक नयी शुरुआत
नहीं बनूँगा मिसाल एक कर्मयोगी की
नहीं आने दूँगा ज़िंदगी को आसानी से पटरी पर
उतारने दूँगा उसे कीचड मैं,टेडी मेदे रास्तों पे
नहीं सूखने दूँगा दीवारों पर लगा खून
हल्का नहीं पड़ने दूँगा उसका रंग
इस बार नहीं बनने दूँगा उसे इतना लाचार
की पान की पीक और खून का फर्क ही ख़त्म हो जाए
इस बार नहीं
इस बार घावों को देखना है
गौर से
थोड़ा लंबे वक्त तक
कुछ फैसले
और उसके बाद हौसले
कहीं तोह शुरुआत करनी ही होगी
इस बार यही तय कीया है
इस बार जब वोह छोटी सी बच्ची मेरे पास अपनी खरोंच ले कर आएगी
मैं उसे फू फू कर नहीं बहलाऊँगा
पनपने दूँगा उसकी टीस को
इस बार नहीं
इस बार जब मैं चेहरों पर दर्द लेखा देखूँगा
नहीं गाऊंगा गीत पीड़ा भुला देने वाले
दर्द को रसने दूँगा,उतरने दूँगा अंदर गहरे

No doubt that it had been a tragic incident. It was kind of 911 on our soil.
ReplyDeleteBut what’s more tragic is the painful drama started soon after the Bloody mayhem ….. and this time too the credit goes to our
politicians……..
There we had the state CM visiting Hotel Taj along with his Actor son and a Bollywood Director…….. We had some really painful comments from Kerala CM when he visited Late Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s residence. What right he had to comment that even a Dog would not have visited Unnikrishnan’s house, knowing that his parents had been in deep agony…..
Even one year later, we on all national newspaper read news article about top Mumbai top cop threatens to quit over Kamte's wife's allegations …..
These are not the things to be remembered on these days, but we need to just realize the life lead by near and dear ones of those who laid down their lives for us…..
Dear sir
ReplyDeleteIn fact very emotional and sentimental expression, it indicates the "TARAP" of most of the "BHARTIAYA". I respect this because if this "TARAP" would be lost, humanity will no longer survive. But we all should reconsider the question what are we doing to prevent such type of acts.
I think thinking is important, but working according to what we have finally decided is more important.
Sir, if we are not understanding the gravity of the incidents what you have expressed, it mean we are not bothered about who is, and when is going to slaughter us.
So it is a call for survival and for "DHARAM", that we all must act toward where there is no pain, sorrow, repent, "TARAP",and insensitivity.
Thanking you for post
