The IT capital of the country was rocked with the ugly head of terrorism raising its head in the city on a calm afternoon this Friday ( 25th July). All the television channels started to beam live pictures from the sites of the blasts.
In a matter of about 15 minutes, there were 6 blasts in different parts of the southern and central Bangalore.
With the phone lines jammed in most parts of the city, the common man was not able to contact his near and dear.
What has happened to the silicon valley of India? Has it become the new target of terror? Who is responsible for this? Was this a mere warning or a sign of something more ominous things to come?
The answers lies in the questions itself.
With man today going from strength to strength in constantly rediscovering newer technologies to try and make life simpler is forgetting that he is also responsible for making this world a much more dangerous place to live in. in his quest to have a better standard of living on the materialist plane, man has lost the baton on leading a peaceful life.
It may be that the so called organizations may be responsible for the blasts like what the police always claims after every scene of man made disaster. But then every one gets so engrossed with the media news that they forget or rather choose to ignore the fact that underneath it is every single citizen who is responsible for this.
Everyone wants everything in this world……and that’s where lies all the problem.
When one has to be contempt with what he has got, rather than going for every single luxury that exists on the surface of the earth. One may say that I am being too skeptical and that I too enjoy the luxury that the modern marvels have provided. Yes I do enjoy some of the luxuries that exits in this world today. I am not averse to modernization, but in the quest to achieving greater heights in medicine and technology, we should not loose contact with our roots. My point of contention is that while man at one end is getting what he needs, the man at the other has to loose something. Cause, that is how the law of nature works. With the survival of the fittest proving right in every sphere of life, man has to struggle in his everyday life. But then he is the master of his own destiny. It is in his very hands to see to it that he does not end up making his life an everyday struggle. When man has to continuously develop and improve the standard of living, he must also take into consideration that the development is overall, in all spheres of the globe.
After all, we all have to live in ONE WORLD!!!!

Even before I could comment on this, another 17 blasts in Ahmedabad. 26 blasts in two days. Anymore, and India will be in a state of Chaos! I hope and pray it doesn't happen that way. May those who lost their near and dear find the strength to get through this phase of their life.
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu!

My condolences to all those who have suffered in these blasts. Such acts must be condemned.
Troubled times these are... all people should stay united during such times. Such acts are aimed at terrorizing us and thereby to create friction between communities. Once this happens the society will automatically lead to its own destruction.
