ignominy, thy name is terrorism?

i walk into chennai central at 8 45 pm on Wednesday night, unaware about the terrible news at mumbai. i have a fairly comfortable journey, sipping soy milk and letting the chilly wind slap my face with all its might. i think, "how i love trains".

now i think a hundred times before i make more travel plans.of course, i am not in mumbai. how does it matter? politicians are there all over the country.. whether or not terrorists are!

ok, i don't want to talk about inefficient politicians, because it is certainly as useless as they are.

not just me. those heart-rending scenes on television make me sick. so many messages that cry in unison, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!", as NDTV puts it. hmmm. sometimes, i feel its better not to intrude into a person's privacy even if it is for the sake of information. sick. the way a poor husband was nagged for information . good coverage, no doubt. i wish they had'nt almost throttled people for information, making them feel even worse. i might have punched them if i were there.

those 3 officers lost their lives after being caught unaware. it was after their deaths were announced that people outside mumbai realized it to be something bigger than expected. at least me. after getting out of the train and having romanced the wind. and the wind has just kissed them goodbye. i am gonna pray for them with all my might. and all those people who did not deserve to die but did.

well done, have punctured our hearts by killing all these innocent people and the foreigners who meant no harm to india. we haven't given in, we still want u out of our way and will pray for that to happen. after all, we, unlike u, are more gallant in our approaches. and by "Athithi devo bhavah", we refer to the good foreigner guests.. and not to the terrorists who are foreigners too.

well, people shouting anti-pak slogans is indeed dangerous. rather than fighting back literally, india needs to prove its greatness in some other way. i cant suggest any (!) , but then , i will pray. i ll keep praying forever.

don't u realize that this is the land that celebrates victory of good over evil every year in some form or the other? (doesn't matter whichever religion it is) one day, soon, we will celebrate it again, wrt u.

and prayers are any day greater than fate. that's what i am gonna believe in, even if u disagree.
