Exactly an year ago....

August 10th,2005 I landed here in US of A.Its been an year.Flashback........

July 7th,2005.It was raining in Delhi that day.I was standing in the line in front of the US Embassy unfortunately for the second time.Keeping my fingers crossed and praying to God nothing goes wrong this time plz.I came out of the embassy with all smiles.While passing through the embassys in Delhi in Chankaypuri,we could see the British Embassy and there was a huge crowd and security in front of it.I thought probably a lot more people are planning to go to London.But not me.I am on my way to Uncle Sam's.Came home,switched on the TV and this is what I hear:

"London's public transport system struck with series of coordinated bomb blasts during the morning rush hour"

Fifty-two people were murdered in the attacks and 700 injured.The incident was the deadliest single act of terrorism in the United Kingdom since 1988 and the deadliest bombing in London since the Second World War.

Reminds me of the recent July 11,2006 Mumbai train bombings in India where a series of seven bomb blasts took place over a period of 11 minutes. 207 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks.

Its a sad thing to say,but year after year the same story repeats in some part of the world.I wonder when will the day come when we can breathe our lives without being threatened by such acts of terrorism.
