Is this world no more a safe place?

This is in the context of the recent mishaps that occurred all over the world and in specific our country India and pin pointedly Hyderabad. I still remember my first day in Hyderabad. Early in the morning it was so quiet and serene. The blue sky with the green patches around and the skyscrapers. It was in amazement that I looked at the nature and man's creativity. Imagine then how creative is our creator??

Very soon I realized that it was all an illusion. As the sun took over the place, I could hear so much of noise around, with people and vehicles in a race to reach their terminals. Very soon the roads started to crowd and the commercial streets started their rock. Amidst all this I could still see a few happy faces around which brought smiles over my face. But in the recent past it was more of a troubled and chaotic city that has instilled fears in almost every resident right from a young lad to an old lady. Where to we run from and where to we run to? What is the cause and who is to be blamed? What is happening and why is it so?? I am sure at least one of these questions would be ringing in the minds of all the Hyderabadis. The city being in the limelight is manifested in the attraction that it has provided for terror attacks.

Death is inevitable, none of us can deny that fact but the uncertainty that lies beneath has now been brought to the surface and proven over and over again. When I heard of the the terror attacks that occurred in the US and other parts of the world, I was a bit worried. Later when Tsunamis struck and claimed the lives of so many innocent people I was shaken away. But when things happened so close or rather when I just could be saved from a horrible incident by a fraction of time or distance i was totally troubled. My mind is refusing to be calm or think right. It is the worst things that could happen which strike my mind and it keeps running all over the place. The importance and the preciousness of life is what I keep hovering about.

Now I come to the junction and ask myself is this world no more a safe place? I guess we all need to heed to something greater to depend on and rely upon. It is high time we realize the need of something more powerful and saving. My only wish is that all the big heads of this country would deal with all these sensitive issues and security threats in a wise manner. Inspite of these happenings people are still in their wild dreams some chasing after power , wealth, name and place in the society. United, can we fight for any cause. So selflessness should render its aid in filling all those loop holes and making our nation a safe place to live and let live!!
