Mumbai, 13/7/2011 I remember that on that day our Polaris festival work was going on with the speed of light. Everyone was working in different sections of the festivals. I was working in the creative room and on that day we were happy that our dragon was near to completion. Sunith, Karen, Astrid, Joycelin, Harsh and I were working in the creative room. Dharma and sandesh was also sitting with us. Suddenly dharm got a call from his friend that some building fell down and glass cylinder was  blasted. Then we got little worried because the blast of gas cylinder was occurred near dharam's office. Dharm got scared and started calling and suddenly aalam came and told us that the web of terrorism is again developed on Mumbai. The first bomb blasted at Charni road and second in Dadar and third in Zaveri bazaar and Mumbai went into darkness. The old memories of terrorist attacks and the worst days came forward my eyes. Everyone started calling their loved ones. I told my mom...

The recent terrorist attack on Mumbai, lead to a great impact on the lives of the people and many other previous attacks. The Mumbai was just getting back on the track and such incident occurred with me that was the most important point I felt of my life because I thought that I was having a minute or seconds to live. It was the fourth day after such gruesome incident of the attack on Mumbai, the Polaris festival was organized and it was the 3 rd day of the fest. I boarded a Churchgate bounded local from Nallsopara station to reach college. The train reached Borivali station within half and hour.

I remember that SSR Project submission deadline was there on the next day. We gathered at manasi house in bandra on previous day. This day was different as usual. When we approached to her house, we got caught in problem of refusal of rickshaws to manasi’s house. This was happening because the day before Bandra’s slum area “Bherampada” was under the fire flames. The cause for fire was blast of cylinder. It destructed about 200 houses, bandra skywalk and their sweet homes. We somehow reached her house and started working on the project. Everybody went home early at 6:00pm as the area was not good for girls. I waited there till 9:00pm and then left for home. I was so damn thinking on SSR project that I forgot to tell the rickshaw driver to leave me at another area which was unaffected. He took me to the place where the area was under flames. The area was dark as lights were cut off in order to avoid accidents through sparking of electricity; people were roaming here and ...

Life is a road, which have many twists and turns, Can a person walk on it? Life is full of burden and emotions, Can a person hold this? Life is full of colours, Can a person live life without colours? Life is like waves of sea, Can a person change within a span of time? Life is a race, Can a person fulfill his goals? Life has dead end, Can a person skip this end? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is a painting, where characters are involved, where one's life begins and end, where one can draw anything, but within some limit, where one can add beautiful colours to life, and within one hard stroke of brush,  the painting gets spoiled.

Suddenly the wind started blowing with lot of force and blanket of dark cloud formed. Lightning was occurring in some places and within some time earth land which was thirsty got drenched by first rain. Everywhere people were showing their different ways of enjoying rain.
