Well this is not the first time that I have been late. I have been late before.... actually many times..... But this is different.
My last post was on November, 24th, 2008. Everything was normal....you know like everyone wants things to be great in their lives....well the fact is that they just want things to be normal.
Normal is great.
So it was normal. Two birthdays were lined up. My Little Sister and my Mom. (November 26th and November 28th).... Even when a loved one is away, things can be normal. Because you know that you will eventually meet. This was the first time that my sister wasn't with me/us on her birthday. She was/is in UK. We called her, we wished her. Normal.... Love, a temporary separation.....phone calls, distance, different time zones ...
normal.....
You all know whats coming up next.....unfortunately those innocent people didn't....
I am late.
I am late in expressing my feelings (#$%@&*: I dont even know if that is the word I wanna use) for what happened in Mumbai on 26th November (and thereafter).
I am Late because I don't know what I should write about.
Veteran actor Anupam Kher hasn’t been able come to terms with the Mumbai terror attacks like any one of us. The actor has expressed his helplessness and anger at what happened in Mumbai.
In an interview to a news daily, the actor gushed “It left me numb, then angry and helpless.
In a similar fashion many other celebrities and known business leaders have reacted to the Mumbai terror attacks.
I am no celebrity.
"Normal" man is numb.
I feel like a failure..... because I try to write something intelligent here.... you know about politics, national security, armed forces, police...... but I can't....I just can't. I want to ...may be give some direction or...express my anger...but I can't.
My "words" and way too "normal".......

u knw... I havent written a word about the attacks because I am sick at heart... because I know this isnt the first time we have been attacked and I feel helpless... And I have no clue what to say... sometimes I want to close my eyes ears and my heart to everything... shrivel up in corner..

[read my post on blog anniversary and be a part of it:)]
sometimes words fail us. the anger and anguish can't be expressed in words all the time. but i understood the unwritten words and share the feeling
may peace prevail.
If people spend more time with kids, the world would be a better place.
Or like some great thinker once said- before you do anything ask yourself, will the children benefit from this?
