Looking at everything that happening in this past 2 weeks, we wonder what is going on in this world? Bomb blasts, War, Java, floods, Is this all indicating that the world will come to an end, Apart from Natural calamities, where is the humanity today? We are safe at home , our family is safe why do we care for others is this what we are really thinking?
Tuesday, The 11th of July, I still remember this day as its my best Friends Birthday, and i was busy at work when my same friend sent me the news about the bomb blast in Bombay, As I read about the bomb blasts, first thing that came in my mind is my Mom and my relatives in Bombay, I called them and checked if they were safe, and yes they all were safe, and My Mom told me we went to bhayander today but reached home before the bomb blasts, I was relieved, She told me Inform everyone not to worry and that we are at home safe, I called everyone and informed them about the same, and then once again I read the news and was like, 7bomb blasts god what is this, but as I reached home and switched on the TV, and when I saw the clips shown the first thing that came in my mind was, these people who went to work this morning thinking that they will come back home, so many people might have planned things for evening, so many might have fought at home and went to work, thinking that in the evening things will be fine, so many children might be waiting for their parents at home, so many mothers for their children, this is the biggest example and a thing to learn that nobody knows what will happen the next moment, while boarding the train did anybody think that they will not reach their destinations, or death is waiting for them, For some it was a miracle, There are people who have survived inspite of the bomb blast in the same compartment and that?s really god?s grace, but those people who lost their loved ones without any reason, is it so easy to forget ur loved ones, the thought of losing them only brings tears in our eyes just wonder how people might be going through it. People lieing in the hospital fighting for their lives, their family members running about hoping that they are fine and will get well soon, wouldn?t it take time for them to get back to normal.
But the best thing I liked is the spirit of Amchi Mumbai, no matter what happens, Mumbai gets back to normal within a day, we should really salute the people of Mumbai for all the help they have given, we could see people giving their mobile phones to ther other person, asking him to call his family, while he himself was in such a state, did anyone care at that time the people they are helping is a hindu or a muslim or a Christian, every other person was seen helping the one in need, We saw people giving food to strangers stuck in traffic, is?nt this so kind , that they could feel the pain of the other person, where did caste and creed matter there, every person treated the other as human first, then in This is amchi Mumbai, Being here in Kuwait, when we see anyone dieing on the road we turn and move ahead thinking if we help them we will be in problem, or I don?t know this person why should I help him, but seeing the people in Mumbai we can say only one thing that there is humanity still left in this world, if there are 10 bad people then there are 5 good people too and that can really make a difference .if you see in reality this mumbai blasts has taught each person many things, if we really reflect on it.
