Amitabh Bachchan expresses concern over recent ‘horrific incidents’

"Many afternoons evenings and nights did one spend on the walks by the inked sea at this Promenade .. today one gets up with a heavy heart to hear and see its destruction and the trauma it undergoes .. No words can even begin their journey to describe such devastation and remorse .. can we not just sit and talk it out and stop .. !!" He further added, "We sit and we talk and contemplate and discuss and ponder ..but nothing comes of it in any concrete conclusion .. one can only sit back and pray that there be happiness and laughter about, instead of the horrific events that unfold each hour almost .. There is a paucity of thought today .. there is a paucity of expressive description and a paucity of understanding .. the how and why come forward with some hope, but fall back destroyed by the inability to find suitable response .. Unexpected endings are a curse .. is this what they that suffered ever imagine ..? I would think not .. endings are a completion of life .. can not the Giver of Life decide that for us in a more civil manner .. We pray .."
