I am transported back to my
discussion with my learned and loving
father-in law post series of
events like 26/11,Taj hotel, Bomb blasts….
Each news made me cringe.As I held
the newspaper which was overflowing with
news of despair and trauma. I poured my heart to him.He gently cheered me back
diverting to topics that could help me get rid of the gloom.
I had then told him that any
untimely and deliberate loss cannot be
justified by any religion.I believe there is only one religion “MOTHERHOOD” .
As a male counterpart he corrected
me that probably I call it “Parenthood”
or rather” HUMANITY”.
But TODAY- I reiterate my stand , because truly as a
mother, I feel that right from the time
of planning a baby , to the elating news of knowing that you are carrying, the months of bonding (when
the baby is mom’s womb),small movements inside you, the pains ,the fears, the
profound experience of delivering “ HOPE “..Is only to be EXPERIENCED and can
best be understood by others.
But EXPERIENCE and UNDERSTANDING are still apart.
A creator can never in the wildest of his or
her imagination think of destroying a creation. I may look at how to improvise if
it’s not as expected ,but DESTRUCTION …Never!!!
Please stop !! killing my future, hope, aspirations ,dreams
,security, present, past, vision, guidance.
As the news of killing of innocent
school children from the Army school in Peshawar poured in ,each one was deeply grieved
irrespective of caste ,creed, religion or country, because childhood is hope, bliss and innocence .
My heartfelt condolences not just
to all the grieving relatives but to all of us who have seen and heard about
the ruthless killing of our HOPE and
future.
It is very aptly said
“THE SMALLEST COFFINS ARE THE HEAVIEST.”
