One Year Hence: The Mumbai Terror Attacks

That day one year ago...

We were taken by surprise.
When in boats to the coast they were led,
To make our hearts bleed red

That day one year ago...

We were taken by surprise.
For how vulnerable we had become
That in our own house we were on the run

That day one year ago...

We were taken by surprise
By the courage and martyrdom
Of those who fought like the warriors for our freedom

But today one year hence...

Life goes on as usual in the name of SPIRIT
The same Minister takes care of our HOME
And our hearts can still be bled RED

I salute the martyrs who laid down there lives to defend our Motherland on that fateful day. They were ill equipped no doubt but that did not deter them from answering the call of duty. Let us pay homage to those great departed souls by pledging to be active citizens. By coming out of our comfort zones and voting. By choosing a responsible government with tangible policies and credibility. And above all knowing fully well that this is OUR COUNTRY....and that it is not only the borders but the people who live inside those borders which make OUR COUNTRY what it really is!!!!

JAI HIND!!!!
