Mumbai Blasts : Two Men

Sorry for being invisible for long. Had really nothing to write and engrossed into some other matters so deeply that could not even express it here.

Bomb blasts in mumbai railways was really a heinous act. We all know what groups are behind this and what is their motive. We should raise voice against such atrocities.

Great amount of relief work was done in Mumbai after this. The relatives of those who have suffered will gratefully accept this. I wish to describe two such cases here. (One of my close friend was eyewitness). Some people in Dadar region were helping victims at K.E.M., a hospital in Mumbai where a large number of victims were taken. They were providing them clothings, food and required medicine as the hospital stock was limited. One of these volunteers came out at about 12:30 in the night and saw Shrim. Shabana ji and Javed Akhtar sahb giving speech in front of a big mob. They were saying how the doctors are rude and the facilities are insufficient and relatives and victims themselves are ill treated. Then they said its complete failure of government. All media was present to cover this. My friend asked him, "have you gone in and seen the situation ?" He said no. Then he described true situation to the crowd. And pleaded these leaders not to give false statements in front of media. Then this fellow asked Shabanaji about the help she was taking for quake victims of Pakistan and was refused a visa. He appealed her to give that sum to these people. Shabanaji didnt say a word and ran inside the hospital. Crowd was really furious and then she had to go out in Police protection.

Second man is a school kid of Dadar. I even dont know his name. He's monitor of nineth class in some school of Dadar. He decided, on the second day of blasts, that it's our duty to help the suffered. He decided his class won't have tiffin that day. The news spread in the school and nobody from class one to class ten had their tiffin. All the food was taken to K.E.M. to serve for the patients. What a great example of service this little boy has laid! "Shat Pranam" to this anonymous hero.
