An unforgettable event in my life

I was just a kid of thirteen when I experienced this incident. Even today I can vividly picturize each and everything that occured. On an early Sunday morning my dad dropped me and mum in the market and promised to pick us in two hours. When we were marketting, suddenly we heard a heart stopping extremely loud thump from a remote corner of the market place which usually is busy all the time. I couldn't imagine what made such a thunderous noise, I was shocked and got goosebumps all over my body. I just gave a glance at my mother's face, it was as red as an apple and her forever twinkling, bright eyes were concealing a great fear I couldn't understand.

We were on the eighth floor of a shopping mall and like everyone else I ran to the glass windows to see what happened. The sight which was awaiting outside the window caught my inquisitive eyes with great terror. And I feared to give it a second glance. Oh! Good Lord it was a massive bomb explosion! The affected area gave a blend of bright orange and red. The blazing fire spread out the orange colour and the flood of blood, oh my! the flood of blood of our brothers and sisters was flowing red. I got scared to the tip of my hair and I ran to hide myself in the warmth of my mother's embrace. I hugged her so tight, at an instance I feared I would've hurt her.

Oh! I still can hear the noise and the cries of the people who were running up and down like a scattered school of fish. I just cannot understand why man has choosen the evil out of the good and is so keen in spreading it all over the atmosphere causing mental and physical impairments to himself and others. Even today when I recall this incident countless words and thoughts flow into my mind. I only wish and hope that destructive events like the one I experienced should never ever happen again. I never forget to pray to god asking for peace and harmony and good tidings for all man kind.
