Come what may!

No amount of words can give out what I feel regarding these constant blasts and firings which were happening in MY CITY, MUMBAI---In the past few weeks I was not able to put up and update my blog as I was really busy…But these 3 days have prompted me to leave everything aside and leave my comments on these horrible and scarring attacks…
We as Mumbaikars are genuinely tired of the term RESILIENT that has been labeled onto us whenever we face such deathly situations….The people who use this term need to realize that it is not about being resilient anymore---I am personally sick of this term because if I am not going to go back to my chores and other jobs from the next day after such violent and insensitive acts, what other option have I left for my self? How many days will we sit home being afraid of what is happening outside?
The topic I am talking on may not be completed in one whole, that gives an account of how vast it must be and how scarcely our politicians—the people who mess up our lives to a great extent and we bear the brunt of it for nothing, they are not even ours anymore for me—politicians think of terrorism as a very short term problem…This is the most illogical thing that can ever happen to a country…It is high time that we get serious about it…I also think that it should be realized by now that terrorism does not have a religion, does not have a face, it only has one aim—to scare the hell out of people and simply to create fear…Yes I do agree that the terrorists links of 26/11 have been traced to Pakistan, but then let us not forget that JW Marriot was reduced to rubble in September…So now I guess its time we put our foolish and baseless differences aside and join hands to lessen terrorism from all over the world as this is a global problem, harassing even the most advanced countries like US and (Kandahar Hijack in 1999)…Adopting a policy of crude and raw anti terrorism like that of Israel may lessen global damage to quite an extent…
According to me, the firings and attacks at Mumbai could be the worst and most shameful thing that could happen to any government in the world and also this can happen anywhere and in any city…so a global solution would seriously help….
The officers like Hemant Karkare Saab, Mr.Ashok Kamte and Mr. Vijay Salaskar—my due and most respectable tribute to them for saving our lives and letting us live and sleep in peace---gave up their lives only to tell that now terrorism has reached our doorstep and we have to take intense measures to combat with it…I hope that these heroes have not given their lives in vain like many many others…As they say its better late than never…

The rescue operations at The Taj, The Oberoi and Nariman House lasted for 60 unimaginable hours and looked straight out of a dark Hollywood flick…It’s a bloody nightmare for everyone who falls in the category of human beings---excluding the sickening attackers who, according to me, need some mental help…Amazingly enough the Maharashtra police were not able to handle the very dangerous situation and so the NSG were called upon…could someone please tell me what the actual job profile of an NSG commando includes? According to me, it must be primarily securing the borders of the country…This just shows you how meagerly our police know about crisis management and how much authority is given to them…And the terrorists attacking prominent landmarks like CST and Taj and Oberoi Hotels also gives out the pathetically low weakness of our coastal guard system-considering and confirming the fact that these anti nationalists came via the sea route…Its time we updated our mechanisms-security personnel have worked their blood and sweat out to make this attack stop and not let the devastating plans of the terrorists work…Where the hell do our taxes go if not into all these up gradations? The answer is straight into your face…No prizes for guessing it. Let me ask you-how do you think our politicians get richer by the day? There’s it...
We cannot forgo this problem as of one of its kind. Our Intelligence Team needs to open their eyes and look around. Upgrade your sources, your strategies, do whatever…but please ensure that you give 200% to your job…Let us not go and defend the intelligence team as if that happens I have many doubts of my own—were the people behind the train blasts of 2006 ever known? It’s been 2 years past that incident...

Also why do politicians come to visit hospitals and the attacked site after the damage is done…Why waste security on their own protection? Please...This can’t be the way where one messes up things first and then comes around cleaning it up…the politicians are the ones who are responsible for all these violent things…do they think that they are manifesting help by doing such temporary visits?Oh please. We have to make them realize that if its not now, then the time for action might be gone forever and all our forthcoming generations will think of such attacks to be a routine-which a really freaky thing to imagine…

Politicians are the worst things to happen to a country-this is one of the things that these attacks could have taught anyone. They are not human and do not possess any normal qualities as they cannot connect with the current situations!!!Imagine the gut of a particular political party appealing for votes with the heading in a newspaper…Please at least don’t insult the great heroes who are no more with us by doing such shitty acts...this goes to show their finicky minds and self centered attitudes. And on such occasions they come to the attacked site and for their protection, some security forces are engaged to a great extent. God, never give any country such governing authorities…
They do not have any sense of responsibility and the worst part of it is yet to come-we are the ones who elect al these scoundrels and we cannot help but do this as all of them are same…we have all the threads in our hands and yet we do not have any device to cut them…So even after writing so much, I am sorry that I do not have a solution to this problem—sometimes I wonder why the hell have I enrolled my name in the voters list? I am so sickeningly confused and there are so many things that I want to express but can’t seem to find words for it or the proper presentable manner…I am also sorry for the fact that this might seem like a news report to all reading it, but then this goes to show that there is nothing new to such acts of terrorism except the ever changing number of casualties and the nature of the attack…and I don’t want to get in those details as they are very disturbing altogether.
One thing that I am really proud of is that Mr.Karkare’s wife refused to take the compensation offered by Mr.Narendra Modi…That was like a martyr’s wife. Way to go, madam…
I guess that its time we take our lesson and take some real strong action..
