A for apple, B for ball.....T for Terror!

"Terror", a word that now sounds painstakingly familiar to our ears.
The increasing number of unusual deaths is nothing but a result of our own 'man-made' disasters. From the unfortunate Mangalore plane crash to the unrestrained Naxal attacks, India has now entered a new generation where it's inhabitants have grown numb to violence.
We have seen so much of violence around us that now we have accepted it as a part of our life, unwelcomed and yet inevitable. Watching the news of Gyaneshwari train collision (probably another Maoist doing) on our T.V. screen  makes us issue a deep sigh and lament, "Desh ki kya haalat ho rahi hai?". But even after those sympathizing moments, we casually, very nonchalantly flick through other channels. The most one can do is discuss  the country's plight for a short period, but of course normal life resumes almost immediately after that.
But what else can a common man be expected to do?
Terrorism, corruption, death and politics have become the only 'news' scoop we get to hear around. India now, not only faces terror threats from it's neighboring nations, but in fact faces a more terrible fate of internal violence at the hands of the Maoist. A child grows in an atmosphere of violence and abuse, inevitably imbibing it and becoming a part of it.
Terror has unequivocally become a part of our Indian lifestyle... And such painful news of hundreds being killed at one single blow, their relatives weeping painstakingly over their bodies and politicians using this as an opportunity to shoot accusations at one another, brings only a shocked silence from a commoner like us, wondering yet again, "Ye terrorism kab khatam hoga???"
Yes, we have indeed turned numb towards violence.
