26/11

26/11 has a significance in India. It was a tragic year of 2008 wherein the series of blomb blasts started from jaipur, ahmedabad, bangalore and new delhi. Those were the mild one timer fit bombs which killed just few people.
Mind you and me the killing can never be measured using the term few. Even the 1 life killed is a huge huge thing. In same way saving a single life is also a huge huge task.

But 26/11 had something BIG. I know the impact was huge one. No one imagined such a kind of attack from the terrorists. No one thought any his dream that such a attack can happen. This can be compared to 9/11 when US also had same thinking but let me clarify that this is different from 9/11 in many ways.

Pre 9/11 there were no low power attacks on US however india was facing a terrorist attack after every 3 months. Even then also India didnt learned any lesson. Not from the US 9/11 and not from the bomb blast that were occurring every 3 months. India always acts late in learning the lessons.

I hope india have learned a lesson from 26/11. Today i saw a lot of news channels flashing the news and visuals from last year 26/11. They also flashed the parade that took place from nariman point to chowpati. Also saw interview of retired NSG chief.

I only again thought that are they prepared for any other attack. will the police be able to save each and every life. The answer i got from my mind was that i am doubtful. Why does my mind dont want to believe that India is secured and there is no possibility of any similar terror attacks. (Yes my mind has the data that 2009 was much safer as compared to 2008 in terms of terror attacks). But still do we have such a good force, intelligence which can stop terrorist before crossing the indian territory.

A lot of questions are unanswered and even i or anyone else dont exactly know what will happen in coming days. I and we can only wish India to be a safe and secure nation which is free from terror. But i also dont forget to do my part. Yes the one i discussed 2 days back.

Long live INDIA.
