My mother always said to me that your deep observation on the things made you different and whispering something in her mouth. I never asked that she might be give prayers to me to observe the whole world. My dreams come true when I was selected by the government to study in Japan. I observed a lot of things but I mentioned the place where first atomic bomb was dropped. My dreams come true when I came in Tokyo, Japan. My curiosity and inner motivation push me to visit Hiroshima which was considered to be a radioactive wasteland, a horrible, reminder of World War II. The horrible story was rotating in my minds on the road of Hiroshima city, when I was walking, but imagination’s astonished to see this city’s normal life. It was thrived with full zeal and spirit of life with no trace of destruction except monuments that occurred here 74 years ago. When I stepped forward the Hiroshima memorial peace park was in front of me which symbolic represent the everlasting peace in the world then my heart says with full emotions that peace is possible in the world. This memorial park with full of cherry blossoms and greenery which gave the positive gesture to the life and I felt that flowers are saying, we can live where experts said after World War II, life in not possible here. On my left side, I went into Hiroshima Peace Museum, this museum picturized, what was happened in this city. This was literally attack against humanity where I could not control my emotions to see teared clothes of children’s. I saw a picture -before and after attacked- in this city and life was miserable after nuclear attack in a picture. That nuclear attack changed the whole scenario in the single moment where people was unable to move and blood was everywhere and human’s organs were scattered like stone on the roads and street. On the contrary, it gave me a courage and message to the super nuclear power countries, peace is everlasting but not nuclear bomb. On the another hand, various thoughts of pessimism arose in my mind “Is peace possible in the world where people spend their life without bearing any pressure of nuclear attack from other nations”. On the same moment, the optimistic view arose in my mind, life becomes peaceful if we have courage to live. After that, I saw the bomb dome -which was near to peace museum- was intact enough by boundary wires and protected by buffer zone. Even, I never imagined that after the severe level of destruction, it is still existing after 74 years. I walked on the east side to try to find the hypo-center “Ground Zero” where exactly bomb was fallen which could not easily find by most of the visitors but I was successfully found that place after the two hours where small monument of stone was built. This place surrounded by large commercial buildings which depicted that nothing happened here. I walked on the roads and observe the life of people but could not find single expression of worrisome on the face of people. Even I reached Cenotaph. The Cenotaph frame is an eternal flame which is burning continuously and it is said that this frame will be burning until all nuclear bombs are eradicated from the world. This flame gave the message to the world, Peace is everlasting but war is not.
