A SALUTE ALL THE HEAVENLY SOULES….
Aye mere vatan ke logon, tum khub laga lo naara
Yeh shubh din hai ham sab kaa, lahara lo tiranga pyaara
Par mat bhulo sima par, viron ne hai pran ganvaaye
Kuchh yaad unhe bhi kar lo
Kuchh yaad unhe bhi kar lo
Jo laut ke ghar naa aaye
Jo laut ke ghar naa aaye
Aye mere vatan ke logon, jara aankh me bhar lo paani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
Aye mere vatan ke logon, jara aankh me bhar lo paani
Jo shahid huye hain unaki, jara yaad karo kurbaani
This song was sung by LATA DIDI as tribute to the soldiers who fought for INDIA n won us freedom….
A SALUTE TO ALL THOSE HEAVENLY SOULES…..BECAUSE OF WHOM WE R EXPERIENCING THE PLEASURE OF FREEDOM….

26th November 2008
The started was normal….everyone living their normal routine…
Nothing much different….it was just the 26th day of 11th month of that year…..
"only one month for Christmas…n then one month six days for new year…." This was what almost everyone was dreaming about…..
Little they knew that this date will turn to be the worst nightmare they saw with open eyes…..
Yes…
'The worst nightmare they saw with open eyes…'
.
.
.
.
"MUMBAI UNDER TERROR ATTACK….."
.
.
.
"Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, theOberoi Trident,theTaj Mahal Palace & Tower,Leopold Cafe,Cama Hospital,theNariman HouseJewish community centre,theMetro Cinema,and in a lane behind theTimes of India building andSt. Xavier's College…experiencing gun shot….."
.
.
.
"EIGHT PLACES IN MUMBAI ARE BEING TARGETED BY TERRORIST…"
.
.
.
"9 POLICEMEN LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF ATTACK….."
.
.
.
"MORE THAN 150 DEATHS IN ONE DAY….."
.
.
.
"TAJ HOTEL YET UNDER TERRORIST DOMINANCE….."
.
.
.
"AFTER A LONG OPERATION OF 33 HOURS FINALLY MUMBAI OUT OF TERROR ATTACK…"
.
.
.
"AROUND 166 DEATH AND MORE THAN 400 INJURED…"
.
.
.
It took 33 hours for Mumbai to come back to normal….
MUMBAI SAW ITS WORST NIGHTMARE…..FOR WHOLE 33 HOURS….
And after that lots and lots of families got destroyed…
"my son, daughter in law n my grandson went to theOberoi Trident hotel to celebrate my sons promotion…but none of them returned…."said a old lady who had lost all her reasons of living…
What was her fault ….
Not only her but what was the fault of those…..who lost their lives…they were neither any famous personalities nor had any relation to the terrorism…then why did they had to suffer…
.
.
.
.
"A SALUTE TO ALL THOSE HEAVENLY SOULES WHO SUFFERED THE ATTACK…."
.
.
.
.
"my husband n few other officers had faced those terrorist in a lane behind theTimes of India building…m proud of my husband that he didn't worried about his own life n fought against them….n even all the police commandos n officers….who that night tried to restrict terrorist activities there itself….." said a courageous wife of one of the police official who was shod dead in the attack…
Yes those officers…who showed the real bravery…..
What were they equipped with…only a stick…nothing else…
A normal havaldar who just possessed the stick killed a terrorist…..n then he informed the control room…wasn't he a brave soule…..
N other officers…..they were attacked from front…..the bullet proof jackets they wore were the real reason for their death…..
.
.
.
.
"A SALUTE TO ALL THOSE HEAVENLY SOULES WHO FOUGHT WITH BRAVERY…"

29th November 2008…
14:25…
"well last two days were really of a nightmare…"said workers in almost all the firms…..
Yes…the same day…the people flung back to their work,…..
N in upcoming days the schools, colleges, n all the government – non government firms were back to its original…
Before n after this attack…..many times our Mumbai was targeted….n everytime…..the next day itself…everything was back to normal…they behaved as if nothing happened….but deep inside their heart….there were many scars present…n each was evident of every single attack…then may it be those chain bomb blast in the trains on 7th july 2006…..or those bomb blast in the city on 13th july 2011….and in worst case the natural calamity like floods 26th july 2005….n many more…..
No…..its not so that they had no care about the ones who suffered….. but they had decided to answer back all the circumstances ' we wont give up….'
All the people in Mumbai were having the wounds on their heart…..such wounds which cannot be healed by any medicines….
The death were having no relation to many people far n wide….but if something was common between all those who saw the brutality of that night was,,,,,, "We R Mumbaikar…"
Yes this one relation stood up above all other relations….
Many families of victims were helped by this species called 'Mumbaikar'
.
.
.
.
"A SALUTE TO ALL THOSE HEAVENLY SOULES WHO STOOD UP FIRM N DIDN'T SURRENDERED…"
