This post is dedicated to our Fallen Heroes of 26/11 Mumbai Terrorist attack.
On this day, we should all take a moment to pray for those who died on that fateful day. We should also remember the sacrifices made by people like Tukaram Omble, Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar, Ashok Kamte, NSG Commando Sandeep Unnikrishnan, and NSG Commando Havaldar Gajender Singh which further resulted in prevention of loss of life.
I clearly remember the day as it was raining heavily in Chennai. When I was driving back home, I heard the news in the radio that there was some terrorist attack taking place in Mumbai. The first thought to my mind was a big blast and scores of lifeless body scattered around. I made a silent prayer and hoped that there would be fewer casualties by the time I reached home. Little did I knew that a horrific nightmare has been unleashed upon Mumbai and upon India.
When I saw the live news coverage, I was first surprised and then felt anger rising inside me. How could these Terrorists could so boldly walk into an iconic hotel and star shooting? How did they get automatic weapons in so easily without anyone noticing it? and perhaps How did they enter India? was the leading question in everyone’s mind at that time. As the nightmare unfolded, I (along with whole of India) realized that it was premeditated by the terrorist group called LeT and that they had given them the weapons and ammunition to kill innocent civilians.
I sincerely hope that our Government has learned their costly lesson through this terrorist act and I hope they take security more seriously. Otherwise, the lives lost by those people would be for nothing.
Today on the first anniversary of the terrorist attack, let us all take a pledge that we will stand united in the face of terror and we shall not bow to any kind of violence. No matter what they (terrorists) do to us, we shall remain united and we shall prevail.
Jai Hind!

Nice post. Yeah, initially it seemed like a normal blast (as the blast was normal at tat time,with one taking place every month). ONly after watching it on TV, understood the real magnitude of that.
Hope our nation doesnt get to witness one like that again.
