."Whenever you are in crisis ...'don't Panic just 'call him'..he will 'bail' you out from the situation." His grand mother always said this to him.He always believed his grand mother...because.. she was everything to him. . He was now 20 and very handsome.... had come all the way from Delhi to this city of dreams to become a hero.He was crossing an adjacent street somewhere near to Mumbai stock exchange..when he heard the earth shaking blast and was witness to all chaos and screams that followed....he was on his feet the entire night running the the victims to the hospitals and; pulling the dead from the debris......He was so focused in his Samaritan work....he just forgot to 'call him'. It was 12/3...1993. He was 32 now and just married. He & his wife where busy eating the 'Gol Guppas' at a corner shop in 'Sarojini Nagar'..suddenly the entire area rocked with screams of people and street turned bloody...he and ; his

Blasted.....

Even when I am not crossing the roads,I am not sure the vehicle on the fast lane will not suddenly sever and run over me.It is nightmarish to walk on the roads. I want to go for the movies,but I am not sure if I will come home to narrate the story to my family.I love to run down to market and pick up fresh vegetables for my Sunday lunch,but am not certain if I will make it back.I like shopping on Id, Diwali and Christmas,but I don't know if there will be a Diwali,Id or Christmas for me. I am not a pessimist.I believe in "HOPE" & like to live my life king size. I don't fear death.I understand death is the only certainity for we the 'living'. But what I hate is the agony of my people looking for me in the debris of a blast and waiting for the DNA test to prove.... that what they picked up was parts of 'ME' that was....just a split back the blast.........
