“……..Managalam Poddar & Rohan Avasthi, Class lll boys, of St. James School, walked up to their teacher on Thursday & asked “Miss, who’s a terrorist?” when the teacher explained that a terrorist is one who “harms others,” Their next question was: “Then, will the boys who hit & push each other, or those who are punished by teachers, become terrorist?”…………………”
I am really sorry that I cannot resist myself, from taking or rather copying this extract from the Times of India newspaper……….. It really hurts that kids who would play, enjoy, & study in their early age of their life is really facing & hearing the naked truth of terrorism that is taking place all over the world……….. It’s a great shame for the people who practice these dreadful incidents………….. But huh……… When will these people grow up? These people for the sake of money (and their so called “freedom & demands”) won’t really understand the true meaning of life……….
And thanks to the media that the cruel world of terrorism is being the headlines of their news at the prime time……… Yes indeed important for us to know the facts & happenings of our nation but is it that it is more important than the crisis situation of our present day economy????
Teachers & parents found that a large number of students talking of the Mumbai, Delhi terrorist attack & trying to connect with the tragedy in their own innocent ways. Surprisingly it is noted that children have become really sensitive, expressive & alert to such incidents. More over it is the media which telecasts the picture of dead bodies & the blood & the people who are agonizing, who have just lost his hand &………………..
Today the world of beasts & demons has given way to the real-life horror of blasts & terrorism. We are really not at all prepared to discuss these issues with the kids of such tender age. But we all discuss how bullying, attacking or hurting others was wrong. And how who became terrorist were once as innocent as any other child but were imbibed with a wrong set of ideas at some point of time.
“………..At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity……………” was the words said by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru at the eve of our freedom from the British. But, Is this that freedom which we really wanted? This is a real shame on their part who insists on such ill-practices. Isn’t it that they too have daughters, sons, and mother……….. a family? Yes, the basic difference between them & us is that they give their own lives for the earnings which help them to keep their family alive & we work hard to earn the living…….
“…………The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye…………” “Wiping out tears from every eye….” ha ha ha huh…… They are really wiping out not only tears but wiping out their lives………..
This directly or indirectly creates a negative impression in the minds of the children or rather the kids... It is that may be one of them may lose their own mother or sister or wife in the incident………. Just think about those people or the children who has just lost their parents or their relatives…
Think……….. Just think……………. what will happen about this little child……….. What is going to happen in his life? Who’s going to take care & look after this little infant? It is only God who knows it……
At this age, he has seen or felt the cruelty of this unkind world, where the children of tomorrow gets to know nothing but a world of terror, anger & revenge….. And not the glory nights where they can dwell peacefully & enjoy and live a life free from all sorts of hazards, tension, & free from all sort of unnecessary calamities.
Have you ever thought that the world is closing in & we could be even as close as brothers?
The future's in the air which we can feel it everywhere & it is blowing with the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night where the children of tomorrow share their dreams. Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change.
Thus we can end on a note of the sweet melodious lyrics of the song sung by Michael Jackson “HEAL THE WORLD…. MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE…… FOR YOU AND FOR ME AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE”…………….
