Whitening the BLOG
Today is 26th Dec. Today is the Boxing Day. Exactly a month ago Mumbai was witnessing one of its worst night. Ten terrorists managed to wreck havoc in the city and the rest is history.
I was angry like any other Mumbai citizen. I protested on 3rd Dec at Gateway. I have prayed consistently every day since the blasts that the families of the people who have lost their dear ones, somehow muster courage, strength and energy to move ahead in lives. The entire month I was thinking of what can I write to “re-whiten” our BLOG. What great things can I write about and manage to bring out any emotions, which are somehow not connected to 26-11 blasts? Answer is I can’t. In fact, I won’t be surprised if hundreds of other similar BLOGS like ours are going through the same situation. But the way the city is slowly getting back on track, I am also trying to get our BLOG on track. The black color is somehow getting to me. No longer does the black signify our mourning and condemn. Now the black is signifying our incapability to lift ourselves.
So, today I am re-whitening. As many of you are aware that I have applied for TEACH FOR INDIA program, the news is that I have the telephonic interview with those people on 28TH Dec. I shall keep people updated about my progress. Hopefully, sooner rather than later Sangeetha and me shall start churning our creative wheels and come up with some food for thought for our readers.
Cheers.
