9/11

i entered this comment in a friend's blog on his writeup about 9/11......

We are living more "on edge" now. Earlier this term was synonymous to living a hard paced life struggling to fit our schedule in a 24 hrs day. But now it has come to mean..living on the edge of terror...in a constant fear zone..any moment anything can happen maybe to us..or to our family/friends..or someone whom we distantly know...or others whom we don't know at all but who are people like us innocent and having done nothing to fall prey to such disasters....This a scary and creepy feeling which was well felt on the day after mumbai blasts..when i received well-being phone calls from all over the world and not just india...i wasn't scared after the blasts, although my sister had had a lucky escape..but these phone calls made me numb..and so much ..that i was in that stage for the whole month of july..Then after thinking a lot and realizing how helpless the whole system is...i also let the normal life take over my emotions and succumbed to the general grind of life!! yet once again!! and waiting for the next terror strike...
