Thankfully, there hasn’t been too many causalities, but even if its just 2 (or one, its not clear yet) deaths, its two too many. It’s reported that one of the dead person was a lady. She may have been someone’s daughter, someone’s mother, someone’s sister or someone’s friend. Both of the dead were probably just going about their everyday life, when suddenly, someone pressed some remote control buttons and blasted the soul from their bodies. They lay dead and along with them, died the hopes, dreams and aspirations of 2 people and countless others associated with them.
What do such random acts of violence achieve ? What ? What ? What ?
Nothing but spreading waves of terror and chaos. Worried parents, relatives, friends calling their loved ones to find if they are ok. Rising levels of fear resulting in xenophobic outbursts at some later date. The need to retaliate. Plan more blasts. The vicious cycle of terror goes on and on and on…till it all becomes a mindless game for the bloodthirsty, official statistics for the bureaucracy , agenda for the political vultures or script material for Ram Gopal Verma. Sadly we forget that there may be a little child whose mother lay dead or a mother cursed to live a life bereft of the child she raised or bore, or a father faced with the heavy burden of carrying out the last rites of the dead. People whom they loved, but could not keep. Because, some demented mind justified this mockery against humanity.
Sadly, the occurance of such blasts have become so common that we have developed some kind of apathy towards such acts of violence. We compare the numbers and judge the impact. And life moves on, till another blast occurs and momentarily tears our attention from everyday struggle.

Take a look at the statistics below. It is high time to say that we have had enough, but problem is, whom do we say this to ?
