My Country is up in flames.

Yes, this has probably become old news by now. But these three days saw the biggest metro of my country held to ransom by 25 20-22 year old boys. Yes. Boys. They were armed with hand grenades and AK 47's and Major Landmarks in Mumbai were controlled by them. Mumbai police lost many brave men. NSG lost theirs. Innocent Civilians are dead. 

I am angry and I feel helpless. I sit here watch my country go up in flames and I can not do a thing about it. How does a religion create such fanatics? What kind of faith/belief system do they have? Why are they killing their own youngsters? What do they want from the rest of us? Why are we afraid to go out and face these bastards and wipe them out forever? As much as I want to be fair to these people, every single dastardly act of these terrorists makes me want to lash out. 

This has increased my resolve to stand by my country. This has given me a reason to be alive and fight. I know that I can not fix the world on my own. But, I am going to try. 

I pray that all victims find peace. I pray that my country heals. God Bless India.
