Peshawar Tragedy leaves Twitterati speechless too

NOT JUST PAKISTAN:  "A wife who loses a husband is called a widow, a husband who loses a wife is called a widower, a child who loses parents is called an orphan. There is no word for a parent who loses a child. That is how awful the loss is. No Word."

Pakistani Singer and actor Fawad Khan's fans were understandably found retweeting this poignant line as many struggle to find ways to express what their deepest core is boiling with at the sight of perhaps world's worst nightmare after Holocaust.

In more instances than one, we have seen how those obsessed with micro-blogging archetype Twitter have kvetched about its word limit.

But 140 characters in the last two days, is a length that has appeared like a long, endless coffin which many stare helplessly. The smallest coffins are the heaviest, as the line trending now says its best.

Speechless, No words, Dumb-Founded, Shocked into Silence -  are just some soundbytes that capture the extent to which many in the online world feel amputated with words.

Those who have managed to eke out some semblance of articulate shock, however have moved above the level that species like those Peshawar attackers hoped to incite and provoke.

Rage, anger, painful consternation continues but people are not falling back into shadows when it comes to urging the right reactions after this unfathomable tragedy.

One tweets and stirs us into thinking how to hand-hold the survivors out of grief with these lines: Will those innocent, helpless children ever be able to forget what happened?

Another one urges with this humble request,plz don't share/RT pictures of blooded classrooms and other gruesome stuff from #PeshawarAttack

There are more joining this genre of tweet-universe. Another tweet pops: Please stop circulating images from #PeshawarAttack .. We know what happened, that's enough.. Think about family & friends.. Be human

I wish children around the world weren't asked to commemorate the #PeshawarAttack and saved the exposure to this massacre, this ugliness - hopes another one.

The blood-curdling news of a live, merciless abattoir is still hard for many ears and eyes around the world.

Around 140 school children who had no idea that morning when they left for school as to what awaits them, faced the ugliest massacre this week in Peshawar, Pakistan.

The brutal attack on an Army public school consumed some happily-engrossed-in-books innocent lives, some of who were busy learning grammar and some looking forward to a Basketball or Cricket match later, as some post-tragedy accounts inform.

The duel with gunmen who had even reportedly lined students sadistically for the cold-blooded killings, was what awaited them instead.

The country dissolved into three days of mourning, along with unprecedented anger from inside and outside Pakistan.

In India, too, celebs and common citizens, alike have profusely filled the Twitter boxes with angry silence and vigil just as people on streets, schools, candle-marches, flag-lowering spots are conveying. Tweets have also been flooding after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's announcement of lifting a moratorium on the death penalty.

If Ad veteran Bobby Pawar noted: Am empty heart is a loaded gun; Karan Johar couldn't help feeling helpless as he wrote  The Peshawar killing is just heartbreaking...the death of humanity on every level....helplessness is the only feeling....

Actor Rahul Bose in his own way stressed that Everyday reveals a new face of evil. Courage, caring, hope, justice & love are never to be lost. We need them now more than ever....Have witnessed a lot of pain, but the greatest pain I have seen is of a parent losing a child. ..The Nobel Peace Prize awardees. Children in coffins. Two lasting images of 2014.

Kiran Bedi reminded Children are the future..! We don't bury our future! Terrorists by #peshawarattack made parents bury their own future--with their own hands

While word-legend Javed Akhtar tagged it precisely as a A black day for humanity, son and Director/Actor/Singer Farhan Akhtar scribbled: My heart has broken.. The world failed those children in Peshawar ... It's a sad sad day.

Certainly Bollywood Royalty minced no words in showing their disgust with Shah Rukh Khan saying The soul is healed by being with children. Extreme anger & disgust for all those who took our children, our future, our healers away; and Amitabh Bachchan underlining 'I can reconcile to the vilest of all deeds .. but I cannot reconcile to the death of 'innocence'

Anger rolls on but what leaves us more shocked and speechless is a shot of the Facebook page of a student from the school that echoes: We are a nation of great grief and beauty. Our smile is much stronger than your gun...............

The struggle to find the right words just shows the vacuum of feelings that one feels at this dastardly and gory event that has hung the head of humanity to a lower level for ever.

As actress Lara D B captures well: Have been struggling with words to express on the #PeshawarAttack. This does it I think.

" No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is piece of a continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by sea.. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind and therefor never send to know for whom the bell tolls , it tolls for thee."

It tolls for thee......indeed!
