Can I dare to say, "Pain is public and pleasure is personal!!!". We are tempted to share our adversity but we seldom do share our prosperity.
When Mumbai was flooded all hands came together to give (and take) support to (and from) each other. All bounds fell apart. All divides perished. Everyone was "one". For the first time the color of blood was "one". It was, probably, an ideal condition, a true unity in diversity. For the first time humans behaved humanly!!! What a paradoxical situation: joy in adversity!!!
Time passed, tears dried and life returned to normalcy in Mumbai. Then one fine day something happened. Once again the hands came together. This time not to wipe tears but be the reason for their tears. What happened to the new found unity. Lost... again. The color of blood... dissolved. Humans became beast. What a paradox: pain in prosperity!!!
How can "adversity" be general and "prosperity" be personal?

You see, every human is mainly human, the animal within takes over only at times. People get together at times of adversity, coz they don't want adversity, so they do what ever they can to make sure that the situation is tackled. But the Human personified only lasts so long.
People have it in them to help, so they come into picture when help is needed, but when you are happy, you are happy. No one needs help you, so private or public doesn't really matter.
Dear..our life is about Moving on..and we should learn to move on....Bcoz Mumbai life is normalised after so many attacks on its nerves,one can not say the new found unity has lost or colour of blood has dissolved...its true that some anti social elements have become beast and has become REASONS for somebody's tears..but believe me Humanity is not finished not dissolved...!!
