I really had a
different plan to start with and write something delightful in the New Year. I
was very excited also. But there are certain things which are not in our
hands…right! I had never imagined that the New Year will start with such a sad
note. The Pathankot Terror attack was really something that hurt me a lot.

I guess…every
Indian will concur with me. This is not the first time a terror attack has
happened in our country, and in fact technically we should feel used to it. But
every time it happens…it refreshes all those "wounds and bruises" of
previous attacks on humanity.
Paris attack is
still afresh in mind. It seems as if some people's survival of identity is
reliant upon the bloodshed of innocents. Actually the whole world at present is bewildered and
confused, stuck and lost confined by fear and panic. The escape route seems
difficult to be crafted.
Definitely
Pathankot terror attack is a strong pointer towards our internal security
system. I believe it happened more because of unknown enemy within than outside
and known one. It is not so difficult to fight with a known enemy like the ISI
and its affiliated terror groups in Pakistan, but it's really challenging to
fight with the ISI and its links in India. Because the moves of known enemy is
predictable but of unknown enemy not. Pathankot terror attack is an example of
this.
But in such
attacks…either innocent people lose their lives or our bravehearts get
martyred. That's really hurting!! And we helpless people are left to express
our emotions on their bravery and valour.
We lost seven
bravehearts in Patahnkot terror attack. Beyond any doubt it's a big loss to our
country and the families of those martyred soldiers. They were indispensable in
their families. Their family lost their dear ones. Their loss is irreversible.
We must start recognizing the "loss of lives of our soldiers" as a
major loss. Else we can't be a strong country. Human asset once gone …gone
forever.
Let's stand with
them and make them feel in the midst of distress a bit of solace with a thought
that they are not alone. The nation stands with them today and forever….!!
Let's all salute our martyrs and pray for their families and share their grief
while we sleep in the security of our homes!
These are some of
my heartfelt scribbles….I pay them as a Tribute to the Martyrs!!
The lifeless
bodies of our martyrs might be resting in peace
The stillness of
graveyards may be resonating in them
But the perplexed
and anguished soul in me
Is struggling yet
to come out of stun and shock,
From the
nightmares of terror, agony and intense pain
It is really a
terrible nightmare to wake up to a world
Where an ardent
effort is made to prove God wrong
HIS claim that
"Humans" are HIS best creation
As HE blessed them
with "Hearts" that are filled with love
I really wonder…
from where on earth or entire Cosmos
They outsource so
much hell of hatred in them
To execute
mindless killing of innocents and naive
And cheer in the
midst of whimpers, cries and pool of Red
What chill and
thrill they get by making lively bodies still
In the name of
God, Religion and such Doctrines
The God might be
finding it hard to hide his tattooed face
Carved with
"Sanguine Fluid" from piercing bullets with blood stains
Let's not bow down
before a few lost souls
With sunken
consciousness and sick minds
To ruin our lives
and instill it with fear of terror
Only to claim that
they're enemy of mankind
Our strength grows
when we dare
Our unity grows
when we pair
Our conviction
grows when we share
Our association
grows when we care
Let's be united at
this dark hour of chaos
Let's tirelessly
speak about peace, harmony and love
Let's prove them
that harmony still exist on earth
Let's diligently
practice them as a mark
Let's gather the
broken pieces of courage and hope
Let's tell them...
As many times they
would tatter "peace into pieces" to vanish it from earth
We would assemble
the "Pieces of Peace" to bring it back
Even if their
untiring effort to reap us apart
We would
"live in peace and not in pieces"
Our bravehearts
martyred fighting the enemy on behalf of us…
Let's not allow
the enemy to be successful in their endeavour...That will be the best tribute
to the souls of our unsung heroes….
