A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for. -John A. Shedd
If the fear of sinking holds the ship from sailing, the ship is bound to stagnate and even the water at the harbor will become its graveyard. A day will come soon enough when that same ship will be weakened because of its own fears; it wont even be able to withstand the usual waves that move to and fro to the same
harbor.
For me, Pujari Laldas represented the ship that had the courage to sail in turbulent waters. Unperturbed and poised by the communally charged environment, he held his views firm and showed resolute endurance that has become truly inspirational for me.
Though he became a victim of the extremist forces and was murdered in early 90s, his views and his voice will always reverberate in my head and he would always be alive for me, in my heart.
