Where Is God????
Where is God, why is he allowing so much of evil to spread around, what had so many innocents done to get this kind of death and torture. There is so much of evil ongoing around the world everyday and even at this very minute that I am writing this down, but somehow the terrorist activity in Mumbai has hurt me, distressed and depressed me since this happened in my very own city, a city which I have been calling home ever since I was born.…these were questions that have been bothering me a lot over the last few days. The last week’s carnage has hurt me so very much it broke my hiatus from the blogging scene compelling me to vent out my thoughts.
Being an absolute believer in the unknown, unseen power whom we call GOD I was very angry with him and also a feeling of helplessness started to creep in almost making me questioning his very existence. So much of destruction in his name, such incidents have almost become a way of life in some of the troubled parts of the globe where in the name of religion we have fanatics committing dastardly & cowardice acts .But why is he still allowing this to go on…??? Hindu mythology speaks of the dashavtars or ten forms of Lord Vishnu which takes forms to specially wipe out the evil, nine of his forms have already been adorned and the 10th one is yet to make appearance on the planet..where is this 10th form???….does he need more evil to take place before he makes an appearance???, is this evil not enough for him to take charge & put an end to it all once & for all??
More and more introspection lead to me getting answers for if not all but to some of the questions. Firstly not to give up on the faith & hope…..Secondly God was there in many forms on that eventful day or in the days to come, he was there in the innumerable security personnel who were as brave as ever some of them so very ill equipped yet ready to take on the terrorists, he was there in the fire fighters who fought not only against the fire threatening to engulf the Taj, but also braved the unseen terrorists and all this without any bullet proof jackets and ammunitions, GOD was there in the employees of the hotels under attack for whom the mantra was efficient customer service no matter what the conditions are, he was there as Sandra the nanny who had the courage to escape with baby Moshe giving him a new lease of life, those tireless doctors, nurses and hospital personnel and a lot of unsung, unheard people who had depicted acts of heroism during the entire episode. They were the different faces of GOD who made his presence felt very strongly through these innumerable brave people. Am sure the kith and kin will never be able to thank all these people enough for being the supreme almighty for all those who were on the line of fire.
Though at the end of it all the feeling of helplessness, anger still persists, but also with these persists a hope that things will change for the better, how, what, when & will I be able to do something about it are the questions for which I would be seeking answers for…..

The answers come but not always when we want or need them to, sad. Everything that takes place in the world weighs heavy upon my heart but from experience I have seen that it is more an opportunity to do rights to the wrongs that have happened. Beautiful post huns!
