Eternally Haunting

Week 51

1.     Preamble:

This past week has been a hell of a harrowing week. I have so far not been able to write the blog. On Tuesday, 16th of December the terrorists barged into the Army Public School in Peshawar and began firing on all present there. They did not discriminate between the young and old and killed as many as 132 children and nine teachers during their eight-hour rampage. Some students, who were lucky enough to escape, recounted their horror and the massacre that unfolded in front of them. It is hard to imagine what they went through! We grieve with the mothers and fathers who lost their children in this most heinous and barbaric an attack on school. This isn't going to be the same world for a lot of families because they've lost loved ones. The nation after three days of official painful mourning has started business as usual but the anguish it went through and the misery and torment, it will continue to suffer will last an unending long long while!  Remembering the dead and praying for the departed  souls may however lessen the agony somewhat. I have selected some pictures for this blog that truly reflect this hope.

2.     Hope:

2.1.  Our Heroes:

Our heroes are the ones, who valiantly went through the ordeal. They include the Principal of the school who laid down her life while defending the children and the grieving parents as well as the students:

2.2.  Our People:

Our hope are also the people who sprang up against the dastardly attack and who will always be there to safeguard our freedom and way of life.

2.3.  Our Prayers and Vigil:

Our vigil against the tyranny and the prayers are the ultimate that insha Allah will lead us to the freedom from the clutches of cruelty, trepidation and fear of terror. 

     

3.     Eulogy: 

We conclude this blog by paying our respects and salutation to the little children and their teachers who were laid down but sure will live eternally in the realm of Allah Subhanahu.
