The Lasting Heroes! / MOKSHADA CHOUDHARY

        Today was the day when the bravest and gallants heroes of India's 26/11 attack were remembered. The 26/11 attacks, also known as the Mumbai terror attacks, occurred on November 26, 2008. Ten terrorists belonging to the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out a series of coordinated attacks across Mumbai, India. The attackers targeted multiple locations, including the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, the Oberoi Trident Hotel, Nariman House (a Jewish community centre), and Leopold Café.

        The terrorists opened fire, planted bombs, and took hostages during a siege that lasted for several days. The attacks resulted in the tragic loss of 166 lives, including both Indian and foreign nationals, and left hundreds injured. Security forces, including the National Security Guard (NSG), played a crucial role in neutralizing the terrorists and bringing the situation under control.

        The heroes of 26/11, whose stories are woven into the fabric of that dark chapter in our history, deserve an eternal gratitude and remembrance. Their acts of bravery serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul. As we honour their memory, let also renew our commitment to building a world where such acts of terror have no place, where the legacy of the 26/11 heroes inspire future generations to stand against hatred and violence.   

        On this occasion to honour their bravery, I as a leading activist from my NGO Care Takers Society, lighted lamps( a deepo-utsav) on the Camp Memorial, Pune, Maharashtra a state in India. The Camp memorial was built in the honour of these gallantry persons. And this year was the 102th year of its making.  

Here are some snaps and videos from the event:

            Exploring more in Ghuwati, I came up with one more old age home, Helping Hands Old age Home. It housed only male seniorities. I was surprised to see that from how far people have come. Some even came from Nepal and some from the other side of the country! But at end all that matters is that they were content and happy with everyone.            I spent almost 3 to 4 hours interacting with them. I was really in awe to know thier intrests at this age. Some liked to spend their time in religious matter, some were seeking out the joy of travelling around the city and some were only intrested in reading books and newspapers! It was a joy to see how productive they were under their compelling circumstances. Nonetheless, it was my pleasure coming to them and having one kind of a joy. And with me I brought some essential rationing for their everyday use.    A NEW CITY, A NEW ABODE AND RELATIONSHIP REMAINS THE SAME  OF LOVE CONNECTING THE TRUE VALUES FROM GREAT HUMANS

          After a month-long hiatus, I finally had the chance to visit the old age home again. The anticipation and excitement built up as I made my way there, eager to reconnect with the residents who had become like extended family.           As soon as I entered the familiar gates, I was greeted with warm smiles and heartfelt hugs. The residents' faces lit up with joy and recognition. Their warm welcome was a poignant reminder of the bonds we had formed over my previous visits. We spent the afternoon sharing stories and laughter. I brought along some summer fruits! Which was quite refreshing.           Leaving the old age home that day, I carried with me a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of gratitude. The residents had not only welcomed me back with open arms but had also shared their warmth, wisdom, and love. This visit was a beautiful reminder that the bonds we create, no matter how small, can bring immense joy and make a meaningful difference in our lives and those
