Remembering them

मौत तो यहाँ बड़ी सस्ती है,
मौत तो यहाँ बड़ी सस्ती है...
समुन्दर से आके मुफ्त में बटती है|

Its been 2 years since terror was unleashed on Mumbai. 2 years since the demons coming by way of the sea destroyed our peace, our security, our property. I'm not going to whine or complain about what has changed since then. There may be a lot of angry complaints about nothing has changed, the same callous people ruling and the common man saying "How can we make a difference when they cannot?"

All I want to do is Salute.. salute them who laid down their lives fighting those demons. Pay respects to those innocent people who lost their lives.

But it would be an insult to all these people if we just resign to tha fact that there will be attacks on our cities and that we as a people of this country cannot do anything about it. Just a little bit of alertness from each one of us in this rat race called life, and together we might be able to make a difference.. How??  Its up to you!!!

हाँ, में हिंदुस्तान का वह युवा हूँ
जिसकी कोई खता नहीं,
क्या खबर क्यूँ हुआ पैदा
क्यूँ मरेगा पता नहीं,
मौत तो यहाँ बड़ी सस्ती है,
मौत तो यहाँ बड़ी सस्ती है...
समुन्दर से आके मुफ्त में बटती है
मुझे भगत सिंह की मौत दो,
हज़ार बार मरूँगा...
हज़ार बार मरूँगा...
