11/26 - May their soul rest in Peace.

May their soul rest in Peace who were hit by the bullets coming from terrorists' gun.

My wishes & sympathy to everyone who lost their loved ones during this unfortunate act of terrorism in Mumbai in Nov-26.

I believe that terrorism is born from the act of hatred and unwillingness to accept the differences. The terrorist attacks are mere a symptoms of the hatred and unwillingness to accept diferences, developed over a period of time and based on various experiences in life.

When we fight against terrorism, we must understand what is it that we are fighting with. We cannot win the fight if we merely kill the symptoms.

So, to end the terrorism, we must end the hatred amongst ourselves. Irrespective of which religion or ethnicity or color or caste we belong to, we must open our heart and accept each other and each other's differences. It's these differences which make each of us unique and which make the life an interesting and memorable journey.

While we understand and act on it, we can take following actions in our day to day life to help prevent these unfortunate acts from happening in future:

  1. Understand and practice the fact that Terrorism does not belong to any religion, ethnicity, color or caste.
  2. Do not develop hatred for anyone or any group.
  3. Respect each other.
  4. Accept the differences amongst each other or the uniqueness in yourself
  5. Stay alert for any troublesome act. Report if you observe any.
  6. Help spread this message to others.
  7. Be happy, content and joyful in life.
Thank You, All!
