Let the sun shine again!! J
It was a usual Monday morning. The alarm rang and you got up,
reluctantly to yet another week of classes, exams and assignments. It has been
the same drill every week for the past three years now. Yes! You hate Monday mornings..
Three years of hostel life has made you an expert in getting ready fast.. and so within half an hour you were strolling
on to college, with your best Monday face ON!
Mondays start with your practical classes so you headed straight to the
laboratory. You met your buddies on your way, talked with them, had a laugh and
passed out loud comments. As always lab classes were the best! Then it was in
the midst of laughing out loud to a joke that someone had just cracked that you
heard it... BOOM!! An explosion! Then you felt the ground shaking beneath your
feet. There were gun shots and more bombings. After a minute of numbness you
realise that ‘this thing is serious
maan!! It was an actual bombing.. It was
not some petty joke that your friends used to play sometimes... This was real!.. itz all happening ... and
that too NOW!
Even as you looked at each other
there were more explosions, more killings... Everywhere you looked there
was a splash of red..pools of blood.. Scared of even breathing you huddled with
your friends to a safe shelter.. and then the explosions came near...the cries..the shoutings...
Oh God!! What did we do?? To punish us like this!! Even as you
prayed you saw your friend, your classmate being shot right in front of your
eyes.. So helpless you felt.. Someone was shouting..” the war has begun”.. and
you thought.. “WAR?? What for??!!” The day continued just like that, no one
came for help.. deaths and more deaths followed..
I know that this piece of article wouldn’t have triggered much
of an emotion in many of you people out there.. But imagine seriously..just
take a minute, close your eyes, take a deep breath and then start reading it
again replacing the word ‘YOU’ with an
‘I’!! Would it hurt you then.. What if it was you who had to suffer a day like
the one mentioned above...?? yes! Now you can feel it!! Its natural..cos that
is human nature.. ‘you never realise the pain of others until it happens to
you’!
What if you have to go through days like this; for a month..no,
scratch that,even for a week?? Scratch that also...can you atleast imagine an
hour like this! NO right??Now its bothering you.. But wait..this is exactly
what the people of Gaza are going through right now..even as you are reading
this, people are being tortured there.. For more than a month now all they have seen and heard is
gun shots, dead bodies and cries of their loved ones.. And do you know what the
worst part of it all is?? It is that
there is NO ONE, NO ONE to HELP
them! There is no one to hear their cries..
Innocent lives are being slaughtered day after day.. but WHY?? What have they
done wrong??.jpg)
Not only have the
superpowers left them alone , but they
have indulged into the cruel and unforgivable act of providing the
Israel army with fully loaded weapons..Please teens!! Wake up.. React! Oppose
if you are against it.. Governments have
remained indifferent to this massacre of the innocents by Israel but you can
definitely express your anger... What if
the anger of the ordinary people can put
an end to the heartless act of the superpowers..And do take a moment out of your busy lives and pray for them.. for prayers can do miracles..!
Coz TOGETHER, we can make
the sun shine again in Gaza, cos TOGETHER we can make the black smokes vanish,
cos TOGETHER, we can wipe the blood stains clean from Gaza, cos TOGETHER we can
make the people of Gaza smile.. again.. Cos everyone and every single soul has
a right to live in this ausomly, amazingly wonderful place called EARTH!!
