Just A Thought

When one keeps hearing the horror of Mumbai Attack, often a line comes --60 hrs of ordeal not knowing what will happen, suddenly my memory was jogged by 1984 riots. I was in Delhi then, Though we were lucky in the sense that very little happened in our area, some shops were looted in the market, I remember when the area next to us was attacked and we could hear gunshots and thought we were the next target. Luckily some people in that area were armed and repelled the crowds but I guess even we went throught the same emotions in our own country with no one to look upto except God. Shireen was small but sunny was sitting in a corner terrified. I still remeber the expression on his face.
Papa told the other day he met a sports person who is employed in police at a match. He had saved some players who were living in the stadium at that time for a training camp. seems the south indian basketball players hid him between them (they are tall) and brought him to the stadium after they met him at station(he had his service revolver with him as was returning from a training camp). And he fired at the crowds
and saved those players in the stadium. Time passes , memories fade.
But I hope public is able to bring about a major change in the ideology of people, govt.One shud never lose hope for a change for better.
