A Common Man

It is depressing to see so many people dying. The death of the innocent people, crying , screaming for the loved ones, all this is very heart-breaking and shameful to see. Terrorism and terror attacks are now growing day by day. In recent times, if we see, mainly, most of the deaths are only because of terror attacks.

Yesterday, the serial bomb blast took place in a busy street of Hyderabad is one of the examples of another mass murder. This is not only about one attack, the never forgetting 9/11 attack on The World Trade Center in New York City, The 2008 Mumbai Terror attack on The Taj Mahal Hotel and Palace, Oberoi Trident, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Nariman House and many more. These are some of the many terror attacks which killed so many  innocent people and took the lives of pure hearted.

We talk about "Aman & Shanti" and togetherness. This is what "Aman & Shanti" means??Taking lives of innocent people. 

As told by an anonymous in "A Wednesday"-"I am that person who is scared to travel in a bus. I am that person who either gets trapped in rain or in a blast.I am that person who used to doubt others just by looking at their wrists and I am also that person who is scared to grow beard and wear a cap. I am that person who gives a deep thought to choose a name of his/her shop for trading fearing that my poverty may get destroyed in a riot. Whoever is involved in a quarrel, its me who is always killed in the end. Just look at a crowd of thousands & select one face. I am that person. I am just a stupid common man."  

Why for every other issue a common man is killed or terrorized? Whom-so-ever it may concerned but in the end a common man only have to suffer. It is said in My name is Khan, "Jab ek masum ki maut hoti hae, uske sath sare insaniyat ki bhi maut ho jati hae."

Day by day the terrorist activities are increasing and death of innocent lives is also increasing. I fear when my family members go to a crowded place. Why? Because, we are a common man.

As said in My name is Khan, "There are only two kinds of people in the world. The Good people who do good deeds and the Bad people who do bad deeds. That's the only difference in Human Beings."

But how to identify that Bad person, when he is just one of us?? I am not safe because I don't have security,I don't have a bodyguard,because I don't have bullet proof cars. Whenever a terror attack will take place my blood will spilled for quenching the thirst of such terrorists and I can't do anything about it. And no one can. I have tp lose someone but I am helpless. I can just hope that this time it is not me. I can just pray to spare me this time. I have no other option. I don't know till when this fight will continue but till then I will lose someone I love...

Because I am a Stupid-common-man.
