The nation mourns as the city limbs back to life.
The night glows in the flicker of thousands of candles. People meet at Taj Hotel exactly a week after the carnage and inhuman slaughter of freedom in Mumbai; A vigil is observed at the Gateway of India. The vigil includes people from Bhopal who have visited Mumbai with feelings similar to that Mumbaikars and rest of India have today. It is a national tragedy. Today, December 3rd also marks the 24th anniversary of the Bhopal gas tragedy. It’s a shame that the stance of the government hasn’t changed a bit after 24 years of multiple instances when innocent lives have been lost.
Today nobody is talking about being North Indian from Bhopal or South Indian from Chennai. For once, we feel Indian, breathe Indian. I wish that we all feel the same not only in the time of terror but also in the time of peace. Is this the beginning of a new India?
