I am stuck up at home(alone) today because curfew has been imposed in the city since last evening.
I  grew in a state where roiting  & cufew is a part of life. Every few months my school would be closed due to law & order problems in the city. School would be closed in the middle of the day because of some law & order problem in the city.
Trouble in the city meant no school !!  In  case there was a test ahead we would at times pray for it.. Just imagine I remember no of times when prayer would be answered. But then as a kid world meant family n school. My concrens were few..
As a kid I wouldn't be bothered about all the poor labourer whose family would be deprived of their daily bread. The sick who would be deprived of medical care. The infant who would have to go without milk.Not to talk of loss to the economy.This all being the start of a list.
 We moved to this city few years back. It was peaceful all along.So much so I had almost forgotten about the turbulance I  seen as a kid.. 
But two days back that reverie was broken. I was scared, I had fear of anybody and everybody. It took me some courage to leave the safety of my workplace for coming home. Almost all of my colleagues made frantic calls to check on their kids. Many left immediatly to collect them from there school or creche. I felt relieved that I don't have kids for whom I had to worry.
The only trouble I have at the moment is that I am alone at home, my husband having gone out of station. I have a every thing I need at the moment except for the freedom to step out of my home. But I feel bad for all those who aren't so lucky.
God knows when we become sane enough and start respecting people of all caste creed n color. Why can't we all live n let live.
Is the gain for the vested interests so huge that they have no regard for life and property?
 Wish we all get filled with humanity n love. Please GOD fulfill my wish. Please....
Wish this were like anyother Saturday.. But is not..
