Mumbai's 7/11

How cruel can a human be? How evil can a human be? Can such a human live a life of dignity and peace after committing such a gruesome act? I am referring to the terrorist responsible for blasting Mumbai local trains today. Eight bombs ripped apart over 200 innocent people; people just like you and me; people who dreamt big in the suburban chaos that is Mumbai; people whose only mistake was to board that crowded first class compartment on a Mumbai local around 6 pm; people who had families eagerly waiting for them at home. What remains of these people are their ruptured innards, scattered limbs, grieving families and watershed dreams.

But then our Mr. Terrorist ceases to forget that Mumbaikars are a resilient lot. Despite the monstrosity of the attack, hundreds of locals embarked on a quick rescue operation, escorted the injured to nearby hospitals and donated blood. And the trains are already up and running.

Its a day to contemplate on the future of humanity. Peace on Earth.
