Time To Wake Up...


11th Of July was another day to be added in the history of Mumbai for the wrong reasons.
Mumbai was yet again blasted by the bloody heartless terrorists.


News channels showing pictures of bodies scattered, which would make one feel numb in the head.

I felt saddened & angry at the same time.

Every news channel praising the spirit of Mumbaikars...... at that moment i didnt feel any pride in me of being a Mumbaikar, I felt helpless like many others watchin TV at home, trying to reach out to friends n family but to no avail as the cellphones and landline were not working when u need them the most.
Yes i did feel nice about the way people were helping each other...there was no choice anyways...where were the cops?? where were the railway authorities...where was the government....it was only common people of mumbai to lend each other a hand.
Today all the newspapers & TV news proudly talk about the way Mumbai is back to normal......am i supposed to feel proud??


I dont feel proud at all, i feel angry, dejected & depressed.
Everything is back to normal as if nothing happened yesterday....great isnt it?
Its shameful i say...people died..fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, friends were lost in a second & We are back to normal!!!


Have we become so insensitive towards life?
This attitude of Mumbai's great spirit has got us into trouble always...who benefits from all this....politicians, ministers & those bastards terrorists. Everyone forgets about it & moves on with life unkowingly sitting on seat with a death bomb lying beneath it.


The blasts of March 1993 are still fresh in my mind....the victims all dead forgotten...the culprits..all roaming free...our law system...waiting for another date of hearing...its been over 16 years & the case is still on.......its a never ending story.

Do you think it will change this time, i asked myself???
Who cares...i need to reach office..i need to complete my projects...today is a new day...i will move on with life..why such an attitude???? coz im a Mumbaikar. Salaam Mumbai.
Guys its time we changed our attitudes towards life, its time to pull up these corrupt politicians, ministers, its time to hang these terrorists to death...the time is now...... or else there would be no life left in mumbai..........only the spirit of Mumbai.

Ofcourse chetan, cant deny that i also feel the same, but I disagree at few places.

Mixed feeling through my mind...i dont know how to react or whether not to react at all. There are lot of facets to this other than just looking at the incident. Theres the motive behind creating a riot to make it a full fledge mission. They killed 10 people and aftereffects will kill 1000s.
We should not let that happen.

Secondly we should stop the blame game. It all falls to deaf ears. "Everybody having the responsibility makes everyone irresponsible" this fails over here. We all should be responsible. What I suggest is ordinary people should maintain calm and sustain unity in diversity rather than talking bull shit. Authorities(gov, police, force etc.) should think on practical grounds on how to stop it..intrusion, their supply chain and all.

As a individual what can we do..
u know the main reason for ignorance of the deaths..coz theres human so many in nos. lost their value in this city.
I dont feel like adding any more in this pool...adopt one...sounds funny but can be serious in a larger landscape. Could talk on n on for this.....
Lets meet to talk on this more...
