26/11

Its 26/11 again... The date brings a familiar knot in my stomach, hoping it would be the last of its kind. It reduces many others to tears. It leaves some other in a void. A date that left the city of Mumbai completely shattered. A date that left India shattered.

Three years since, lets say :

A silent prayer for the brave hearts Mr Karkare, Mr Salaskar and other officers
A silent prayer for those hundreds of innocent lives lost
A silent prayer for the unknown soldiers who lost their lives
A silent prayer for all the families who lost their loved ones
A silent prayer for the Rabbi and his wife
A silent prayer for Baby Moshe

A silent thank you to the NSG
A silent thank you for the staff of the hospital who put their life at risk to save others
A silent thank you to the staff of various organisations who helped
A silent thank you to the announcer at CST for making that announcement
A silent thank you to the journalists, irrespective of whether what they did was right or not
A silent thank you to the people of Mumbai
A silent thank you to the people of India

Things might not have changed in the three years, but I am not writing  this  post to judge what has changed and what has not! Enough has been said about it already. I'm writing this post to say a small prayer to all those who have lost their lives and a big thank you who saved lives!!
