Fear of being next

I guess god didn’t want me to wait for long to get an answer to my questions.

A few minutes back I received a SMS that almost answered to a lot of my questions I had asked in my previous post. Those few words shared on my mobile screen spoke a thousand words even without speaking, they reflected how does a young Indian today feel about what’s happening around him.

Before starting the description let me copy what SMS read, it said

“Hi, I am going to Sarojini Nagar to buy a surprise for my mom and I haven’t told my mom about it, if a bomb explodes please do call her and let her know.”

After talking about doubts in the minds of people, a constant fear roaming on roads, it was just a matter to talk. But, never in my wild imagination had I thought it to be true to the fact that we would start informing everyone before stepping out of our houses.

What are we doing? Aren’t we in a way making fun of our democracy? Aren’t we scared to use our rights given to us by constitution?

What do I tell to this friend of mine? If I say your fear is false, I am not justified to myself, if I say you should not go out I am letting the terrorism win over our mindset.

Eitherways, its I who as a common man lose.
