Welcome to the world of peace!

Welcome to the world of peace! My guess is that none of us really know as to when we can really say thisI’m neither a Politician, nor a Police Official or an Army Officer… I’m not big and famous personality as well. I’m someone like you who walks this land, a commoner, an Indian- but with a vision! And let me make this clear, I’m not a man of mere words, but a man of action. In today’s world there are many killing issues, one of the most critical one being “Terrorism”.At any time if one was to switch on the Television or even flip through the newspaper you would find the press bleeding with news of people who have been affected by the various terrorists activities. With such a situation it makes one feel as if we are caught amongst a pile of dead bodies- I know it’s hard to imagine, but it’s the truth isn’t it! A common scenario these days- people crying out of the street, desperate mother’s walking the lanes searching for their lost children, wife’s waiting for their husbands to return, a caring brother looking into the eyes of many with the hope that he would find the familiar eyes of his lost sister- well we do tend to feel sad, for it is not you, but someone else on the street who is going through this pain, through this heart tearing loss! Let me ask you- what do you think one could do about this? Watch the TV, read the news, empathize and feel sad for those who are suffering! Isn’t it pathetic to watch our society go through this phase- the terrorist phase!No bomb is destined to destroy a particular faith or a group of people- all it seeks is mere annihilation. It simply looks to destroy, be it a Hindu or a Muslim all it wants is bloodshed, death. Period!It is immaterial whether the blast happens in India, America or even Pakistan it sure claims the lives of many poor and helpless people. And the most difficult being those who witness these blasts and still cling on to the hope that somewhere and someday their loved ones will knock their doors again. The important question is not that who all are terrorists, but how many such people are out there?! And let me add, there is certainly no use in pointing fingers at others, be it a particular group of people in the society or any particular religion. It’s high time that we understood that because of a handful we are blaming the entire basket!
