It was a usual day for most of the Mumbaikars who got back to the grind of their routine lives on the very next day, when terrorist took siege of hotels in south Mumbai and started killing people.
Many interpret this as the "spirit of Mumbai" who go on with their lives to show that we won't bow down such cowardly acts. Recently a lot of terrorist attacks have taken place in India. Still the common man showed no sadness and went back to his routine life as if nothing happened. One is compelled to ask if this really showcases the spirit of the city or is it an attitude of indifference?
The public memory has been of short span. Soon this incident will be forgotten like the earlier ones and we would get back to living to our lives. It's only the people who lost their near and dear ones in such attacks have to live through the trauma. Does this shows the spirit of the city?
It's the attitude of indifference, we don't care what happens around, unless it happens to us. We are quick to give our take on such attacks, but when action are required we fail miserably. It's high time that we shed this attitude and act in the interest of the human spirit.
The spirit of Mumbai would be to make sure that such attacks do not take place in the future and working towards making the otherwise useless politicians to work on policies which will safeguard the Indian territory and giving our intelligence agencies enough powers and equipments to make sure any such attacks in the future can be thwarted before it takes place.
Let us take this moment to come together and work towards protecting our citizens and not let the deaths of our heroes go futile.
This would be a small step towards protecting innocent lives lost in such barbarious attacks.
