Helpless Indians.

They had done it before on a Friday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday and now they did it on a WEDNESDAY. Do not worry very shortly Monday will be covered as well. Nothing new, It was a terrorist attack again. Everything was the same but the manner in which they did it this time was different. Terrorists came through sea and attacked Mumbai as usual. Instead of common market or a crowded train, they choose Taj and The Oberoi hotels this time. They proved a point that if they really want they can come anywhere, anytime and attack us and we cannot do anything about it but die to their bullets, cover their action continously on News channels and after all this light a candle mourn for the dead. Come Monday we feel bad for the dead and the wounded and we are back in our respective offices doing our daily routine work as always. And people around the world call this the "Spirit of the City" , they do not understand "That we INDIANS are HELPLESS and can do NOTHING other than this". I do appreciate that Leopold Cafe, one of the places terrorists attacked, was open Sunday afternoon for business and there were people coming in as usual, but the point is what could they do other than opening???

Thanks to these terrorists for one reason, every time they attack, we Indians will stand united irrespective of religion and caste. But not too long, within no time our politicians have the ability to divide us back. Its a collective failure of the ruling state and Centre governments namely the congress. Shivraj patil resigned or was rather sacked and now Chidambaram is new Home minister but will things change?? Does that mean there will bw no more terror attacks on India?? No I dont think so. In US after 9/11, all parties came together and saw terrorism as a common problem of the country and took some decisions which have the results. No terrorist ever even thinks of an attack on US anymore. But in India things are different, when such a meeting was called our own Advani and Rajnath Singh were campaigning for elections and highlighting the failures of UPA. Vilas Rao Deshmukh was with Ram Gopal Verma for inspection of Taj. Why was RGV there?? If he was thinking of doing a movie, good but not the time for inspection when many people still did not know where their loved ones were. Mr. R R Patil said these kind of things happen in big cities. He should be ashamed to tell that. If terrorists had attacked his family, would he have told the same statement?? And where is Raj Thackeray who is the latest hero in Mumbai Politics who want to send non Maharashtra people out of Mumbai. He has to be reminded that the NSG forces which saved the city from further damage were INDIAN soldiers and not Mumbai alone. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan of NSG who was killed while attacking the terrorists was of Tamil origin, brought up in Bangalore, part of the Bihar regiment, and camped in Haryana but when the terrorists attacked he came as an INDIAN and fought against them. The fact is in India the politicans concentrate too much on how to come to power but have absolutely no idea what to do when they are finally in power.

Lot of people say you have to vote to be a responsible citizen of the country but I do not agree with this. Whom should I vote and Why??
Congress : Because I can make a SC/ST certificate and claim reservation.
BJP : Because I am a Hindu and BJP promotes Hindutva.
LEFT : Because they would not allow any industry function smoothly.

The point is this terror would have happened irrrespective of UPA and NDA governments and will continue to happen as long as these corrupt politicians rather the privileged citizens of the country continue the administration as they are doing now.

I know my vote is precious and I pledge that I would not vote any idiot just for the heck of voting. I would vote only when some one comes up and tells, 1) Criminals when proved guilty for acts such as terrorisms will be killed till death. Punishments will be made more severe and will be implemented to one and all irrespective of politician or actors. 2) There will be no reservations based on caste, If it is there it will be only for people who are financially backward and not backward caste as I believe no caste is backward.

Finally Hats off to the Mumbai policemen and NSG for protecting us without caring for their lives. India lost three of its best policemen, I hope we can recover soon from the loss. Its happened in Mumbai this time, not too far it may happen to us in Bangalore here. The corporates here are asking for licence of AK 47, as they think that the government is incapable of protecting us and they can protect themselves. I do not know if this will be granted but it would be great if a rule is passed that all offices, schools etc should have compulsory training for citizens where they can protect themselves from fire, first aid training to save people in need of immediate help etc.

As I write this post the bottom line is "WE INDIANS ARE HELPLESS", I know nothing I told above would happen anytime. Politicians will continue to divide and rule us and we will continue to be as we are.


Until next time or rather
Until next terror attack.

Good Bye,
Sri
