26/11/2008
is
a
date
which
most
Indians
would
not
forget
for
a
long,
long
time.
This
was
the
day
when
the
city
of
Mumbai
was
ripped
apart
by
terrorist
attacks.
A
lot
of
innocent
people
ended
up
becoming
victims
of
these
attacks
and
many
even
lost
their
lives.
For
actor
aashish
chaudhary
too,
26/11
is
a
date
which
he
can
never
forget.
After
all,
he
was
among
the
unfortunate
ones
who
lost
his
sister
and
brother-in-law
on
this
dreadful
day.
A
year
has
passed
by
now
and
the
scars
of
this
horrific
attack
still
continue
to
haunt
us
all.
Requesting
that
his
family
be
left
alone
at
this
difficult
moment,
aashish
chaudhary
has
expressed
his
thoughts
through
this
letter
which
he
sent
to
certain
sections
of
the
media
and
press.
"I
feel
humbled
by
all
the
strength
my
friends
and
this
fraternity
gives
me.
Also,
I
do
realize
how
I
must
let
go
of
all
that,
that
is
buried
inside
me.
I
also
am
aware
that
there
are
plenty
of
others
who
have
gone
through
a
lot
too.
But,
I
am
in
the
hope
that
all
of
you
will
understand
me
when
I
tell
u
that
it
is
not
the
right
moment
for
me
to
come
out
and
say
absolutely
anything
regarding
the
issue.
I
just
want
to
request
one
and
all
to
help
each
other
for
a
start.
Whether
its
the
government,
the
doctors,
teachers,
the
common
public,
whoever.
We
all
need
to
help
each
other.
Have
love,
respect
for
each
other.
There
are
so
many
incidents
like
these
with
really
poor
people
too.
We
can
start
with
some
charity
if
nothing
else.
The
revenue
of
all
the
events
and
programmes
that
are
based
on
the
pretext
of
the
anniversary
of
26/11,
for
example,
should
be
given
to
charity.
Lots
more
can
and
should
be
done.
And
finding
the
problem
and
curing
it
is
not
the
end
all.
We've
got
to
cure
it
from
the
root.
It
is
not
only
people
like
Kasab.
He
is
a
victim
himself.
A
victim
of
wrong
preaching,
false
teaching.
Little
kids
are
being
brainwashed
from
really
young
ages,
to
commit
felony
in
the
name
of
religion.
It's
sad.
But
it's
true.
My
dearest
friends
are
Muslims
and
they
have
a
totally
different
meaning
of
'Jihad'.
I
do
not
think
it's
the
religion.
The
Islamic
religion
is
beautiful
in
my
eyes.
It's
the
select
few,
who
are
on
an
entirely
different
zone.
All
of
Pakistan
is
not
as
its
being
perceived.
It's
just
that
the
cockroaches
in
that
home
have
to
be
removed.
All
homes
have
some
pests
or
the
other.
Crimes
are
committed
in
India
too
my
friends.
I
know
I'm
saying
so
much
despite
of
starting
by
saying
I
don't
want
to.
But,
what
I've
said
is
what
I
think
all
should
know.
We
are
all
humans.
We
should
love
each
other.
Hate
is
a
big,
bad
emotion.
It's
got
to
be
eradicated.
Religion
is
not
the
be
all
and
end
all.
I
say
all
the
internal
religious
problems
in
our
enchanting,
multi-faceted
India
too
should
be
thrown
in
the
back
seat.
We
should
unite.
It's
the
need
of
the
day.
For
me
as
a
fellow
human
to
all,
"I'm
an
Earth-ling
first..,
then
I'm
an
Indian,
and
then....
Full
Stop."
