Last Night..
Me & Ma sister were watching TV..As usual she wanted to see a daily soap on other channel..And she snatched remote control from me..I snatched it back n it was going on.. Meanwhile ma Dad interrupted in us.. "Oh God.. Some day people will kill each other for this Remote Control..Actually its controlling their lives now.."
We totally ignored him and carried on..Till ma eyes got stuck on a screen.It was a News Flash on CNN... 'Pune Blast was Triggered by a Remote Control....'
And something struck ma mind.. as ma Dad said,Instead of People killing each other FOR Remote..They are killing BY remote...I got numb.
Ma sister changed the channel and she got busy in
'Nach Baliye'.But thoughts gathered in ma mind.How can anybody threaten up a whole nation by simply pushing a single button..?And still knowing this also 99% citizen of this nation don't hesitate to push the button of their remote and change the channel.They prefer watching Dances saying, "its of no use watching the same news again n again..
Roz Ka Ho Gaya He.." When we become so cold blooded to watch a bollywood dance when few people are doing 'Terror Dance' in a whole nation ? We became cold blooded or anybody steal our emotions from us..?
The night when this blast took place one ma friends said this..
"Mumbai me thik hai re..Pune me kaise ho gaya..?" I got very irritated.Why
"Mumbai me thik hai..?" Are Mumbai people Different from us? Do they walk on road to kill themselves?Aren't they Human..? Why Mumbai also..?
Can we just imagine we going out of houses for office and suddenly our dead body comes to our family..? We just can't think of it also.That friend of mine is very emotional still at 26yrs he cries some times.It means he is not Emotionless.Then how come he said that
"Mumbai me thik he..?" He haven't said anything wrong.Because we are made habitual to these blasts now. Our minds got Frozen now.And I think we want to keep them Frozen..thats why we just melt candles after every bomb blast.Our heart doesn't melts.
Who gave this right to these people that they just push a button and our whole world gets shattered..? We lose our beloved one. Actually, we gave them this right. By being so rock hearted. What those politicians are doing there whom we have elected.? They have made us say"We don't want development..Just save our Lives."
They just declare compensation to victims and they think they are done with their responsibilities. Can anyone compensate a family who lost their to-be engineer son in just 5 or 10 lacs..? Can they compensate a 27yrs old widow..? What can compensate these losses..?
We too think that surfing news channels for two days n feeling sorry for victims makes us a responsible citizen of India.That participating in condolence meeting and candle march is all we can do.That we are not responsible for all this.And all this we think and do because we never think that this can happen to us also someday or rather this very moment.Because we can never experience the bitter reality of all this.Because we are too busy earning and enjoying that we never think of protect it forever.
Death is acceptable but not this weird face of it.Someone kills us in a moment when we are celebrating our first wedding anniversary our while we talking to a friend whom we mate after few years.
Screaming through newspaper articles and blogs is of no use unless we unite and think on it as our personal issue.No one can enter your house and blow it, if you are in.Only chance is if you are sleeping. And thats the reason some of us are getting blown up..Dying. We are just dreaming of becoming a superpower but not ready to awake and face the reality.
We must wake up now.World knows that nothing happened in US after 9/11.And we found another bomb in just a few days after Pune, In Surat. We can't make it change by merely lighting candles..We must enlighten our minds now.Or else we will keep lighting candles and terrorists will burn out this whole lovely nation.
It is been a week to Pune blast..I used to go to German bakery with ma friends..I miss that German bakery, which wont be same anymore. Now its not the destination to celebrate Life..But a place to remember a Death.. A death of peaceful Pune..A death of our democracy..A death of 12 happy people.
Its been a week to this incident and still we couldn't find the threats behind it. Now we must enlighten our minds and brighten up which are already enlightened.
Ma Dad said remote is controlling our lives..But now its actually controlling our Death..!
So..
The next time if you try to push a button and run away from this news to a 'Daily Soap'..Think that someone is killing us the same way..
'Just by Pushing a Button..'
Dreaming for Peaceful India,
Always Yours,
VARUN.
