So it was a normal thing for me in the merning today.. to get up early.. do the routine work at home and leave for office..
But today while i was in the train i was talking to a Ameya and we were talking about the terrorist attacks that took place in the city a year back... and how the whole 3-day attack shook the city for sometime.
So while on my way in the train it was just a different feeling all together... I remembered exactly the same time last year there was so much of tension in the air all around me... All my freinds and family members telling me not to go to office... But something in me wanted to do just that... and i went with my instinct...
Though i must agree i was a littly apprehensive at the start but then i was like "If i do what everyone else is doing.. that is sitting at home and watching all the news channels go yap yap... then what difference am i bringing into this small world of mine."
Though i cant deny the fact that a thought did pass my mind.. "..that what if something would happen.. what if there were terrorist still somewhere near the station..." But i believe that was just a mere thought and nothing more..
The scene is still fresh in my mind where in i get down at VT station and i was the only girl walking on the station just about 10 hours after the terrorist had attacked the place... It was probably the only time the station ever looked so deserted and only a few people were there and also who where in their own thoughts...
Ya while i am writing this it does get me a chill down my spine and hope nothing like this happens ever again not only in my city but anywhere in the world..
The city looked so much in peace today.. like the side walk below my office... there were these people sleeping so peacefully without a slightest doubt that something or somebody could attack the city once again...
Probably that BOMBAY for you... people just move on.. continue with their routine work.. it's only when a situation hits you personally that it lasts with us forever... if it's an exterior hurt.. it goes away as time flies by...
So i think i must move on and continue with the daily mundane affairs... probably that how life is...
Taa.

I can imagine how it would have been for you, to some extent at least. But well, time, as they say, is a great healer.
