After silence for short period, the terrorists are again back to their inhuman activities by planting Bombs and brutally killing the innocent people from one state to another in India.

The news channels or communication medias are interested only in publicizing the negative side of such happenings such as exhibiting the terrifying photos, teaching all ‘how to make a bomb at home’ and giving news with self imagination of facts, with the very purpose of developing fearsome emotions, and disturbing public mind just to get higher TRPs for that moment. This is what the terrorists exactly want too. They want to create a situation of this nature and chaos of this kind.

Does it has only side? There is another side of the coin too. For example, if we see the situation of Ahmedabad, there were about 17 blasts (some say 16 and some 18) on Saturday the 26th July 2008 within a span of two hours, killing more than 60 persons and injuring more than 100 persons.

If you see the roads, business premises, offices and industrial areas in the morning on Monday 28th July 2008 amidst the overnight heavy rainfall and water logging, everything seems to be totally normal and things move without any interruption, which means people have brought up their minds to overcome any such situation to fight against terrorism, without any caste, creed or religion.

The medias should take a note of it and should come out with such kind of news and also give the photos of the roads, streets of the normal Ahmedabad in TV Channels and other medias so that Terrorists will also think several times before committing any crimes.

With all due respect and prayers for the ones injured and more, I salute the spirit of Ahmedabad. This at an individual level is the best act of ‘Anti-Terrorism’ in itself.

Ahmedabad: In Ahmedabad, blood donation has become a mission of sorts with some families. In fact, there are at least seven families who have collectively donated more than 200 units of blood each.

The family of Narhari Mavlankar (91) has donated a whopping 296 bottles of blood so far. “It is our duty to give something back to society,” Narhari’s son Siddhartha Mavlankar, a businessman who plans to donate blood for the 125th time shortly, told TOI.

Siddhartha’s wife Angarekha and his two daughters also have contributed to the family’s blood donation marathon. Meanwhile, the families of two brothers-Ashok and Ramesh Patel—both businessmen and both closely associated with the Satya Sai Seva Sangathan have donated 754 units.

Brothers Sudhir and Yogendra Shah, both businessmen again, have also donated 229 units. The other families include Vasudev Thakkar whose family has donated 219 units, businessman Suresh Patel and family has donated 204 units while secretary of the Ahmedabad Red Cross Blood Programme Mahesh Trivedi and his family has donated 207 units.

Even as the country celebrates Voluntary Blood Donation Day on October 1, every minute one Gujarati could be donating blood. Every four minutes there could be an Amdavadi donating blood, going by the records of the Red Cross.

President of Ahmedabad Red Cross Blood Programme Mukesh Patel said, “Gujaratis donate blood to celebrate birthdays, death anniversaries and even weddings. In fact, a lot of people organise blood donation camps during the besna of their loved ones”.
