Are we Human Being ?


This title might have shocked some of you, but I felt the same when I came across an Incident at Santhampur Bus stand. I saw a person crying and running here and there and people around there were watching him doing that, and it was turned out to be a source of entertainment for hundreds of them. I tried very hard to understand the situation and asked so many people about the Person. The crowd around said that this guy is a mad person, and it's his regular job. This answer was not enough to stop my curiosity. I asked one old person who used to work there as a Coolie, and he gave me an answer that made me think much beyond of my usual thought process. 


He said “yeh ek Nano Dakhelo Apuchoke 2002 Ma Je kand Bano, Tema Katlaye Loko Na Ghar Lutigayo ani Kitneyia Loko Pagal Banigaya" (This is a small example of 2002 Kand, where lot of  people lost their loved one and a lot of them turned out to be mad) and he stooped. I went on asking questions and he started narrating me the situation which had taken place in Pratapura. 


 Faruqe Mohamod,  The guy whom I have mentioned above had a small Egg store in Pratapura. He used to be a very decent and well behaved man to all. He had very sweet family of two daughters, one son and his wife. Whole family used to help Faruqe to carry out his livelihood, but at same time his children were going to the school. Faruque had known the importance of education because he hadn't got access to education and paid the penalty for that. Everything was going good and he had found the happiness in the way of living. 
The Unexpected

27 Feb. 2002 this day was different from others. Something had taken place. Something which was enough to ruin thousands of lives, something which was enough to rune families and more of something which was enough to destroy a healthy society. 

Faruqe tried very hard to safe his family, his asset those he had built after a long struggle and his small egg store his only hope and source of livelihood. Situation was against of him. As a dog struggles to safe her puppies in rainy days, Faruqe had done the same but things were not in his control. He ran to safe his family but roads were closed, he screamed for help but no one was there to hear, he begged for mercy but monsters were in front of him. He saw something which all of us wouldn't have seen in our nightmares. His dreams ware breaking into pieces. His happy family had no one. His children his wife all were in front of hem but gone for a deep sleep and will not come in his entire life time..........

Again asking you all the same question "Are we Human Beings"
