Salute Our Heroes...

Mumbai is bleeding..It filled me with anger and helpless.How cowardly people for an idiotic cause they are killing innocent people in peaceful place. We hear terror attacks in Kashmir. But we can’t imagine something in Mumbai. While seeing live in TV it left me numb. How can this happen in our city? Our India? Its really terrible, This is not the first time it’s happening.. Those two dozens of youngster are making a whole big Nation look like a fool. They are doing what they want…,

India facing newest kind of terror where people targeted are not the common man but also the upper class people. There shows there is no rich or poor... But mind you at the end of the day they are also HUMAN BEINGS !!! As long as one of our own blood is not spilled on the floor, we forget things very fast..... Can we do something?

We, Mumbaikar,We Indians.. We want security…

We want to leave home and be assured that we will return at home safely..

We want our children to play in the garden & go to school without terrorist fear…

We should all unite and catch terrorist and dig a biggest hole in the world and bury them permanently there. So that the whole world should forget the word terrorism. Now it’s turn of Indian people to teach all these people including Terrorist, Media, Govt. Officers and politician to know power of common man.

Please come together to salute our brave Soldiers, Police and NSG commandos. Who sacrified their being for the people of their country and even those who by their sheer talent and love for the country, made INDIA and INDIANS proud.
