Life must go on..

The past week has been exciting,adventureous inspite of being a horror sometimes. The place where I have been putting up has brought a bunch a surprises with one instant it looking as paradise and the other being close to hell. The Kashmir valley is a place full of surprises and unprecedented incidents that will leave you gasping for breath whenver u reach here. Being just 300 kms from my Jammu, my hometown one cannot believe how can a place have such a different culture, lifestyle, language from its own state people. The moment you go outside that very second you become the center of attraction of the localities as the fear of being labelled as a outsider(kafir) becomes paramount. Well im writing this rubbish just days after the series of bomb blasts in Srinagar and Mumbai. Inspite of being bruta, cruel abd an act to instill terror in the minds of the people, these blasts bear a start contrast in their mode of execution that cannot be hidden from the peircing public eye. There were 5 blast in Srinagar and 7 in Mumbai but the damage in Mumbai was 20 times that in Srinagar. Sure, the places in Mumbai are crowded but the grenade blasts sites in srinagar and not less crowded either. This depicts a harsh reality that the killings in Kashmir were targetted while in Mumbai they were more severe and random. The militants in Kashmir aim only to kill the non-muslims whereas the terrorists(terminology is like that) in Mumbai targetted the people irrespective of their religion.

The militants resolve to make the non-muslims to abstain any travel to the vallley so that the nizam-e-mustafa can be implemented. While in Mumbai they want to derail the lifeline of the city "the local train" resulting in paralysing the financial capital of India. These blasts would instill a fear in the common masses and the investor alike which see India as a favourable investment destination. So because of all these incidents the Kashmir valley looks similar to a muslim country with all the temples destroyed, friday being an unofficial holiday, all english channels banned and most of the beautiful kashmiri ladies in burquah. These militants have been partially able to acomplish their motive in Kashmir but Indians especially Mumbaikars must make sure that the spirit of Mumbai must win despite all these oddds. Mumbai as a city is an inspiration to India and it must remain to be so. Mumbai alongwith India must fight to show that we can rise to follow the path to communal harmony and development.

Long live India.........
