I Bet You Have Never Read Any Article on this Topic Before Ever So Please Read it Then Comment


People call it a disastrous day especially in this part of world. Some crude facts I have to share with all of you people as I was present here in New York those days and one of the thousands eye witness of the tragedy. You would be thinking that what happened to this girl *Gadhe Murday Ukhad Rahi hai. But I tell what this is one event that has changed the entire world. We all are not the same as we were pre-Sept/11 everybody is more cautious about him or her and as fast the population is growing the speed of death is also improving. People here in NY look each other as the other person is a Terrorist. I observed that this was never before but now the situation is quite different and people here are afraid of some special dates. People start the day with an expectation that some thing to happen soon.


When it is September 11 people are more afraid and most people spend the day as holiday and don’t go out for shopping and other activities are cancelled on that day people use to watch TV and listen each and every news of the day in suspect of some bad to happen. On the contrary I am a different person after that incidence and now I am more bold and brave. I use to perform all my activities which I do in routine. Here I am sharing my true experience of the day 11-Sep-2001 I will tell you what happened that day to me and how was that day spent by me or you can say the day spent me that very day.


My September 11, 2001(One Day From My Diary)


The day started as usual and I wake up early in the morning I got to go school and I have to submit an assignment on sharp 12:00 but I have half done my work I get up and went to the wash room brushing my teeth was thinking how to complete the assignment then changed my clothes and went to the breakfast table as usual Mom has my Breakfast ready and my school bus horn start buzzing outside I went off quickly and we went to school. I bunk the first two lectures in order to complete the assignment. Fortunately I found one of my friend and I asked her to help me completing my assignment(I said her “Yar Do Ullu Ek Ullu Se Behter Hote Hain”) she laughed and joined me and we started working on it. I was sharper so I said her that I come in a moment and went to fetch some eatables from the canteen she was overjoyed and gave me permission. I was moving aside the library when I listened cry of some people inside the library. I went their Students sitting inside the library were weeping and on my ask they said A plane in crashed and I feel sorry for them as I thought some of their relatives died in the plane crash but when I was told full story by another person I was just shocked but on a usual track I thought it is a small incident. I went out and start moving toward the canteen. I heard a roar like we usually watch an India-Pakistan match and roars come and go in the room where TV is placed. But the roar was more frightened and sadly so I inquired what happen. One Madam answered in sign two hit the hand means the tower. I first became sorrow then became happy that my class will be cancelled. In stead of going to canteen I went to my friend and told her the news and turned off the Laptop and with sorrow move toward assembly hall where the Dean has to say something to the students. I was thinking that the scheduled classes would be cancelled but he said that we would attend the lectures in routine. So we went to class and my incomplete assignment was rejected with a penalty and I went back to home but I missed the school bus. Every day when I miss my school bus I my intentions are to go shopping and same I done that day. I went for shopping but the situation there was like everyone is lost and unhappy still the shops were open I went in and have my dress when I try to pay the counter person said you can take them free of cost and I was more than happy. I was unaware of the devastation occurred in the country or you can say I had not realized the loss to the nation, as usual from there I went to my Dad’s store he was labeling the items, I told him about the incidence that took place he said “I know”. I was shocked that he knows and he is still at store. ( one thing I clear here that my father is Ex-Armed Force person so events of people dead or terrorist attacks he is never afraid of.). We had our lunch and he closed the store and we came back to home. My mother was weeping we inquired and she said that my younger brother is missing. All phone lines were dead. Then I and Dad realize the situation. Mom & I drove the car to his school and there we found him. We came back to home and watched in the news more than hundred times the planes crushing into the towers. I brought the earlier photographs which I have taken from the roof of World Trade center and of the tower itself. It was gigantic tower and in top floor you seem to be like a bird the wind blowing is so thin and……. can’t explain the experience of touring the tower in words. Later in the evening we went to see the tower by ourselves but police sent us back. So we came and stay in the house. My younger brother went upstairs to see the towers from his binocular but failed. So we waited to see the devastated building for two days. Our schedule classes were cancelled for a week and we were given opportunity to spend our holidays. I remember that day as a very different day of my life and what happened to the towers was a grief. Though I had not seen the towers breaking down but their left over is still in the pictures of my camera.


Terrorists had done their job successfully but Mr. Bush is still in search of Osama. I wish that the real person behind the whole show be captured by police as soon as possible. But what we can say the reality is even if it is unknown to US officials too.


My Message


The incident not only has changed US but the whole world as people are these days spending more on their security then anything else. My Question to the people is that even if you do thousand measures but you have to die it is a natural process and it is going to happen sooner or later. But if we become stronger from inside we can improve the situation of the world.


Thanxx for liking the article  :)
