Mumbai Terror Attack - What did I learn?

As I was following the attack on the Taj and Oberoi Hotel very closely, the various footages shown during the same trigerred a lot of thoughts in me. Infact within a weeks time, this probably is the second event that has made me look at life differently.

When the NSG Commandos came out of Taj after 60 hours of operation risking their own life, one of the News reporter asked them, "How difficult was the task?" The commando with a smile on his face replied 'That nothing was difficult for them". That smile and the statement really made me shed tears.

Relation to something in my life, recently my office shifted a little outside the city and we were all cribbing about the distance and the time taken for travel, the quality of food that was available and what not. When we are worrying about trivial things in life and making such a hue and cry about smaller things, there are people who are not worried about even laying down their lives, with a smile on their face for the sake of unknown people like us. So this made me feel that life is beautiful and if we are going to trouble ourselves by worrying our simple things, we would only be the loser. The above statement and the situation would always be echoing within myself, whenver I come across a diffcult situation in life, when that man can smile, with whatever I have got in life, I should always be laughing and making others smile.

Thank you Commandos, I am sleeping peacefully in my house, becasue you are awake. Also, a big thank you for giving me this realisation within me and being an inspiration.
