Of Blasts, Blames and Bodies...

Hi People,

I am not going to begin with..." 26/11 was a sad day in Indian History" or " I condemn the recent terror attacks in Mumbai and thwart our Politicians for their lameness."

I guess, enough has been said about the three horrifying days that changed lives of many a people in this city that has given us homes and much more!

But, here are a few things I WOULD want to talk about...

I haven't lost a loved one, so I wouldn't know what it 'feels' like...
I haven't voted since I turned 18, so I wouldn't 'blame' our Politicians...
I haven't discouraged Corruption, so I wouldn't talk about our Country's 'faulty' Administration...
I haven't fought a war, so I wouldn't criticize our Defense for its 'mismanagement'...

So now, instead of playing the blame-game and Analyzing 'Who' or 'What' went wrong, I would rather look at the root cause of these problems and tell myself, "All of this happened, because of You!"
Nobody is to be blamed for what happened but You.

So, from now on, instead of criticizing and blaming Our System, I will look at myself and ask, " Have you done things right yourself to point a finger at them?" If my answer is affirmative, I shall go ahead and ask for explanations; if Not, I know what I must do as a responsible citizen of India.

I WILL Vote, Discourage Corruption and exercise every right that I have as a Citizen of this Country that I so love and treasure!

And, for the ones who follow my blog, I hope you have introspected and are ready to call yourselves "True Youth of India."

Never more Indian,
Mitchelle.
