i don’t forget the night … perhaps i won’t forget in my whole life … a night without sleep, a night full of anger … a night with lots of anxiety and solidarity … i didn’t sleep the whole night…

i still remember that nice hooked into news channel for the whole night … feeling so sad watching Taj burning… real footage were coming in from CST, Cama Hospital , Taj and Trident … it was a horrible night i guess, i was feeling so helpless … just watching the Mumbai icon burning in front of everyone’s eyes… i wished it was a nightmare …

and today, after one full year, we realized nothing had moved beyond it… we spent 23 crores of rupees to keep one terrorist alive… we just see how our neighbors still roaring … we all feel helpless… and yet, that gives us the strength, strength for unity, strength to show solidarity, strength to fight against … tolerance is not our weakness, it is the strength within…
