THE LOST LIVES AND THE LIVING DEAD....!!!!

This time the post is a mere fact about certain families in Hyderabad. today, 25th August, is a sad to day to every Hyderabadi who witnessed the blasts exactly one year back at the Gokul Chat and the Lumbini Park. Both the sites were filled woth people and with in the next few minutes it was all filled with blood. On 25th august 2007, there were serial bomb blasts in Hyderabad and there were many innocent people killed and many more injured who are still fighting for life.

There was a sister who went to get a Rakhi to her brother as the following day was the day she waited for the year long. There was a mother who took her kids to the Gokul Chat for the famous Pani Puri. There were young Hyderabadis who went to the Lumbini Park for enjoying the musical fountains.none of them knew that they are going to miss out their destinations.

The Govt. of Andhra Pradesh promised to take all the necessary actions and provide exgratia to the victims and their families but today the families blame that they just lost hope on the CM's words. with in two days of the blasts there was a picture of the person who was thought to be responsible for the blasts but till today he was not caught. not till today that the victims were remembered again may be by the media or by the govt. or by the people of the city.

just today, i have seen a story about a guy who was very badly affected by the blast at the Gokul Chat. Sadashiva Reddy, a software engineer by profession, and a good team player and a very talented employee of an MNC in Hyderabad, was hurt to his head on the day of the blast when he went out to enjoy the drizzle at the evening along with the famous chat. but today, he is in a situation of a special care child who needs assistance for each and every activity in his daily routine. his parents are both in the age where they cant take care of their son by themselves. so their elder son left his own family in their in-law's place and is taking care of his brother and his parents. They say that the Govt. has helped them by giving Rs.20,000/- after the blast. but still, it costs them above Rs.20,000/- per month for the medication. They are not blaming the Govt. for their problem but that they are blaming their own fate for whatever happened. they are not asking for any financial assistance but they are fighting for a job to the father so that he canbe a helping hand to the elder son. can't the Govt. provide a job to the senior citizen who is already in vain but still wants to help his son's life to keep going????

i just had tears in my eyes when i was watching the show. the mother was a very hard person to see who wished her son would get married and leave to US very soon but now it is not the case. she no longer wishes so. she just want her son to call her "mom" and ask him some food when he is hungry. this is the situation of not only this family but also many others who ere affected.

Back at the Gokul chat, when i visited it last month, we can still feel the terror and the warmth of the lives that were shot dead. the Lumbini park still is not out of fear and the musical fountain had lost the tune and spirit in the last one year.

This is Hyderabad. the life of the sixth metropolitan city in the country. where ever the terrorism opens its clutches, the evidences are found in the city. from any where in the country, the police come to the city and investigate and return home with some proofs of their doubts. but what are the polic in the city doing?? why aren't they able to catch the one responsible for the atacks. it is not only the case of Gokul Chat or the Lumbini Park, but also the Mecca Masjid blasts last year. none of the culprits are caught.

WHOM SHOULD WE BAME?? THE POLICE? THE GOVT.? THE PEOPLE WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK? GOD? OR OURSELVES???
WHO EVER WAS RESPONSIBLE, IT IS THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE SUFFERING. LET US PRAY FOR THE SOULS OF THE DEAD TO REST IN PEACE AND CONVEY OUR CONDOLENCES TOT HE FAMILIES OF THE AFFECTED.
