In a charged situation it is hardly seen that the unwieldy shutters of rumour mills are down. Exactly like may othe shop owner who for the fear of a backlash down their shutters. Recently Malegaon and Dhule, twin cities in north Maharshtra confronted nearly a similar situation. The frmer was faced with another terror strike. Though later the mob went out of contrl and attacked police men, may be for a reason or two, the turbulence turned into a nightmare for those who seek peace and who want to live in harmony.
The later where tearing of a poster culiminate in a full fledged large scale communal frenzy, the mob attacked each others' economic, social and commercial establishments. Amidst these chrged stiuations I spent my vaccations with fear in my heart and soul. The fear of back to back attacks or backlash. To add to the woes the rumour mngers acted as oil to the flame. The rumours chnaged their colour and ingredents with the each number of mouths it passed. But thanks to the conscious citizens who prevented any further unfounded violence. So amids ths situation I embarked upon my 25 hur long journry to report back to the college in Chennai
