A DECADE OF PAIN - 9/11

102 minutes.

An hour and 42 minutes was more than enough to almost destroy half of the United States Of America. Two planes were hijacked by terrorists and were made to ram into the World Trade Towers - Towers that you'd see from your airplane windows and exclaim loudly!
It took people many many many days to get used to the fact that the Towers they see everyday or in which many of them who bothered to survive, worked or people who lost their loved ones, those towers aren't there anymore. It was difficult and I am sure it still is difficult for them to ever acclimatize to the fact that World Trade Towers are nothing but debris now.
Around 2996 people lost their lives in these terrifying attacks that happened at a normal day in the capital of the country.
A man would have kissed his wife and kids good-bye and never knew who would ever say good-bye again.
A father who must have been off to work after dropping his kids to school and never realized that now the kids wouldn't have a father.
A lady who mustn't have had her breakfast and rushed to her office with her mother yelling at her to eat during break-time and she never knew that her daughter would never eat again.

For all of us, 9/11 is just a date that happened 10 years ago and was a mass destruction but to those families who lost their sources of incomes and more than that, THEIR OWN PEOPLE, its more than just a date. Its a pain. Its a grief. Its a sense of emptiness. Its a feeling of anger.

United States of America after 10 years stands tall and strong and ready for any attack! None of us have heard of any little cracker being burst there after this devastating date. They have revived into their own lives but what about Terrorism? When will this filthy disease end? How many more 9/11 does any country need to wake up? At the end of the day, its us! WE - who have to stand up against this and fight with all our will to make sure that our country is safe.

As for now, I and each and every citizen of my country sincerely pay a tribute to this catastrophe and Salute to the the people of United States of America for standing strong after this attack.
