Spirit of Mumbai
There were a lot of topics vying for my attention and creativity to be the first blog of this term, but yesterdays's blasts in Mumbai sent across a couple of thoughts that just could not be held back.
Yesterdays blasts caused a lot of loss to human life & property. There also were the usual round of allegation & blame game glorifying the in-efficiency of the police & governemnt. But what has stood out has been something that one cannot understand until one stays in the lovely city.
The mumbai spirit, which many tried to decipher and write about it must have found enough material for a new book which only means that "Mumbai just moves on". The way mumbai is back on its feet is a clear message to the forces behind these blasts the "insignificance" of their actions on the lives of "Mumbaikars".
Mumbai was swamped with rain waters...Mumbai picks up from where it left and just moves on..The stories of people participation in a city that is known for its highly individualistic nature has prooved beyond doubt that Mumbai has a heart. People dropping unknown people to hospitals without waiting for government help and that too in a situation when all communication lines were jammed, instead of rushing homes, they lent a supporting hand to the needy speaks volumes of "community spirit" in Mumbai.
This action must hence tell the forces that such actions would not deter indian financial capital but would only be counter productive as we step up our action against them. By committing such ghastardly acts, they loose the modest support of poeple they claim to represent. But thats not the case as no reason can be greater & sufficient to take lives of MEN. Thou have no right to destroy what one cannot create.
My tears and sympathies goes out to those families who have lost their dear ones..the ones probably were the cheif bread winners of their families. Lets not forget them in the hustle and bustle of life and in a bid to get back to normalcy. A Mumbaikars showed the spirit to help the needy, public action must be taken to ensure that the affected families get all the compensation that governement would provide and we extend all support to them so that "they" and not just the City get back to normal.....
The lives have never been the same.......
