Sandeep Unnikrishnan

never got a chance to meet and know this great person ..... but somehow felt like wording this down ... ..

guess just another guy from a decent school with parents in service .... simple home .... with all the dreams and aspirations for the future - all this just like u n me ... But the last few mins of his life ... and his 'life' as is stands today gives a new meaning to 'life' ......

He's gone far away ... never to return ...a definate irreplaceable personal loss for his family..... but northwithstanding that ,... wat we as average Individual can look at is that ... ' here is an Indian ... with more or less a similar background like u n me .... ' but has achieved so much in life by entering this new phase of his life .....
Obviously the 1 Bio of us cannot one fine day decide to join the forces and make a difference by paying the ultimate sacrifice .... thats not the point !!! but surely ... if we do look around ,.... there's a lotsa wrongs within our reach wherein corrections can be initiated by our own very actions ....Be aware of the surroundings .... of how YOU n ME can make a differenece ... ( no matter however small it is !!) .... our dear elected reps ( whether the honest ones or the dishonest ) seriously have lotsa 'issues' to think about ( issues can be anythin depending on wich is the tribe they owe their allegiance to!!! ) .... and hence quite likely that something that WE can change upon will be easily missed for the want of an initiator!!! Lets not do that ..... Lets become the change agents for the change that we want to see ....

Guess by doing this ... if nothin else ... atleast Sandeep in his new life can look back at us here and feel that his sacrifice has been worth it ... !!! WE owe this to him .. dont we ?? :) ... after all he's jumped in to answer the call of duty to save people he hardly knew .... bore the bullets from the someone whom also he hardly had a personal problem with ....and showed the way for a new generation of people that would be, in the times to come, the strongest pillars forming unbreakable edifice called I-N-D-I-A !!!!

sandeep has completed a job really well done !!!! its upto us to follow the route shown by him and 'his like ' .... as their roles our over now ... its us in the line of fire ... and WE all know that if we really do get down to it .... WE can make the difference !!!

Where does MUMBAI go from here?..

Come monday and the day will start once again..
would we hav forgotten all the pain….
once life gets back to the all too familiar lane
Where we lose all of life’s morals.. for nothing but a bit of monetary gain !!!

The 8.20 local would become life’s supreme goal
And we would go back to the place ready to pay the toll
Life will return to the mechanical melancholic mode
And the lessons from the 26th would be discarded just like all other things old!!!

Much as nobody likes to be proven wrong
I hope we all get together by the throngs
And be united in our action and thought
So that the above words of inertia never leads to our minds getting clot!!!

All this with forever a single minded aim
To believe that to win in this bloody game
We have to be willing to take upon ourselves the blame
And action our words so as to put the challengers of peace to shame !!
