It happens yet again. Yet again claiming over 150 lives leaving 350 plus grievously injured. Now i know all this has been said and done,played and replayed by numerous news channels in numerous languages by numerous journalists adding their own flavor throughout the 72 hours of this Terror.Am too, like many you Indians have felt sad, frustrated, angered and sensed the feeling of helplessness. Just a mere..a mere 10-12 brainsick demented insane fools held the country at ransom yet again leaving the many so called leaders-politicians gazing.. making them realize their impotence and incapability. I know its kind off easy to just blame these impotent fools for everything right from infrastructure to the recent security breach. How easy isn't it???
Every politician today might be making their own intentions and gimmicks on how to take advantage of this terror attack on Mumbai??? How to gain that extra edge over the other parties??? how??-how??-how??..!!Now each one of you would have done the same fuckin thing had u been the politicians!! Now a few might disagree saying..no am very principled.. am very honest.. i would be a honest politician..and all that crap..!! Now this is the same very person you see when caught by Traffic Police for some kinda offence.. paying 50 bucks and getting away for a offence committed which might be of 300 bucks. This very instance you forget about your honesty-about you being fair.. all you want is to be let off with the least fine. ain't u????
And you talk about the Police being corrupt?? about the politicians being corrupt??? about the system being corrupt???.. This "You" also refers to me..Am no saint..!!
At the very grass root level we're making the system corrupt!! If you'd have the bloody balls and some sense of responsibility of being a citizen of India.. you would have made sure such offences won't happen..!!
We people crib-crib-crib till we find some other strong reason to crib.
Crib who says no???.. but crib only when you realize you're a responsible enough citizen to crib about the numerous things you feel ain't proper in our country.
Today.. even after those hundreds of Attacks.. right from the 1993-serial-blasts to the recent 2008 Attack on Mumbai.. it'll be a day or two before people resume their normal life style to their old fast-rush-mode again pushing each other in this Rat Race.. And we refer it as the "Spirit of Mumbai"or i want to call it the "Spirit of India". Hope this Spirit induces the responsibility factor within every spirited Indian.
Not to forget,
I started this post with the intention of paying my Tribute to the Martyrs who laid down their life fighting in the last few days, but couldn't stop myself from talking about the complete Blame game what we involve in.
My Heartfelt Condolences to the families of all the Brave Officers and soldiers who lost their life fighting in this tragic and rather mournful incident . The Sacrifices of the 14 policeman from the Mumbai Police and 3 from the NSG will be remembered for a long-long time to come.

Rang De Basanti.. Hope we get out of our slumber at least now!
very well said especially this line...like many you Indians have felt sad, frustrated, angered and sensed the feeling of helplessness.....and u keep questioning urself and people around u..why? why is this happening....but without any sane answer though....
I completely agree!!
We all crib about corruption and system failures, and hypocritically, we become a part of this bullshit by choosing to pay a bribe over a fine to the 'corrupt' traffic cops. And sadly, as I mentioned in my post, all the brave men who laid down their lives, were not only victims of a bullet, but of a collective systemic failure.
i really don find a point in blaming the politicians for this. agreed they are corrupt and useless,but could we really have avoided those 10-12 brainsick people from getting brainsick at all?? i think action has to be taken to eliminate the root cause, the terrorist's fanatical sickness.The dismal nature of our politicians just gives more room for the sickness to breed. its a vicious circle and we indians/victims are caught in the middle.. :( pray for peace.
