Some pictures from when yours truly got a chance to visit Ground Zero in New York. It would have been nice to see the twin towers more than a decade ago or better still the horrible incident of attack towards humanity should never have happened.Many peace lovers of the world would easily agree.
I remember as a child praying miles away in a small town in India.
Now the site looks like this- a shrine.
An organisation that stands up for causes says that it's great now that the memorial is filled with trees. Nature is soul soothing. Signifies peace.
Millions watched the program, in fact had been following up since the beginning of September.
But must say, Enough of negativity and destruction in the world...May God bless. May there be peace now. Amen.
P.S The sad event happened 10 years ago and still remembered solemnly and serves as a reminder and such unfortunate events hardly happen in the US anymore. Sadly in the country of my birth, India, such attacks have become a habit. Before and after one of the worst, 26/11 there were many such as in July 2006 and as late as July 2011 and September 2011. Why on earth have they made it a habit? Yes some citizens are concerned and some like me who don't live in India anymore, are saddened and alarmed too. But the politicians and the people in power there have the same stories- of how much sad and sorry they are, how they would look into it, how it wouldn't happen again and so on and so forth. In fact by now it seems many citizens have taken such things very lightly too...Very sad. It's time to analyse and take major steps. There are problems all over the world- some places have it more, while others less. It's tome for big changes in the largest democracy of the world who is aspiring to be a super power in the future. India's neighbor China is already an economic super power and one doesn't things like these happening there. It's High Time...
