Where is the Fire ???

"War against terror" .. "We will not take it again" ... "India is not weak"
Does this ring a bell.......... Yes they do....these were the chants heard during and after the Mumbai terror attacks...Oh wait ! Actually these where heard everytime there was an attack
There was anger..rage..fire burning within to bring down these terrorists...to fight against these unethical elements of society. Where is the fire? Who put down the fire?
Did we actually remove these terrorists? Did we win the war? Did we fight?

Chanting slogans against politicians was easy. But what did that very same common man who walked the streets of metro cities screaming at the top of their voices against the system finally do about this war?

Do you know where the war starts. It starts within us. We have to fight that “chalta hai” attitude which prevails within us and puts that rage within us to sleep.

We have to improve our methods first and make sure that we behave as responsible citizens. What right do we have to pin point leaders when we do not follow the right path?

Now even if we set this point of -checking ourselves first- aside for some time and coming back to the earlier question on what have we done to fight back?
Ans:We said prayers-I say thoughtful and…
Ans: We took an oath to fight back- I say good and..
Ans: We found fault in the system- I say as always and…
Ans: We came together as a nation and showed resentment to the attacks-I say great and…
And then a pause. A blank face. No answers then.
This is where we lost the battle. This is an honest request to all Indians(please note all-not just two or three groups nationwide), rather to all people on face of earth. Please don’t put the anger to sleep because you find no one else around you doing anything. Make an endeavor, you will find many who would want to accompany you.

Belief shattered….
It’s really confusing at times how relationships, which have been like inspiration for me to go on, just break apart. In a span of two months I have seen two very strong couples facing the worst of situations. In both the cases couples move away from each other after years of togetherness to pursue their career. Few months of staying away, one of them feels attracted to somebody else.
This really puts me to think that is that all? I mean what did they mean when they might have told each other-“It’s you and no one else forever” or something like-“I can’t think of someone else in your place”. I am in a relationship now, so my reaction is- was it this weak? But for someone who is single, that person would lose belief in the word love itself.
I agree it is not that simple to carry long distance relationships, when you get to each other for say 10-12 days out of 365 days, it’s not like movies where singing songs and running around trees works. It is tough but that is the test. If always through the highs and not the lows, then where do you derive strength?
So many thoughts running in my mind where another practical part of me tells me-“you are not in their shoes. DON’T JUDGE!!”
So then I shun away from these thoughts listening to my practical side….somehow the thought comes back again………
