WAR ON MUMBAI

SHOCKED, ANGRY, BETRAYED, HURT, GRIEVING  There aren't enough words to describe my feeling today.

My condolences goes down to all those who lost their life in the WAR ON MUMBAI. This was not a simple TERROR situation. It was a WAR and I am sad to say that though we finished off the terrorists they were successful in their aims. As it is being shown on N.D.T.V.  "Enough is Enough" 

The people of this country are hurt and angry. No one can feel safe anymore. Who could have imagined going to have dinner or to the railway station to see off someone and not coming back. The lives of Indians have lost their value. Anyone can just come in and just do anything to us. I feel that India has been RAPED and RAVAGED by these terrorists. 

They are not Hindus or Muslims or Christians they are the devils own creation. The terrorist who they have caught alive is a 21 year old. Hell he is younger than me and he has reportedly said that he has no regrets. Why should he have any regrets. We are Indians who should by now be immune to such attacks. 

Every month there is some attack or the other and our government is unable to do anything. An attack of this nature takes months and months of planning. These did not just land on a boat and said that today we will just rape and ravish this city. It requires crores of rupees to execute. Where are our intelligence agencies? 

I think blaming this on the politicians is no good. Our home minister is oblivious to criticism as he is under the chatrachaaya of Madam. What I dont understand that even she lost her husband and Mother in Law to the terrorists. Doesn't her heart go on to the innocent Indians. 

Instead of blaming the politicians we ourselves are to blame. It is we who elect or more likely don't prevent such politicians to be elected by not voting in the elections. I am ashamed to say that I have not voted till todays I don't have voter ID but I am determined to change this situation by time of general election and vow to do my best in helping this country. I feel that all of must have a DUTY to vote not just a RIGHT to vote. As is famously said that with great power comes great responsibility. It is our responsibility to vote for people who can protect us from the scrouge of terrorism instead of dividing us on narrow issues.

It is being said that it is our 9/11. Let us never for 26/11/08 the day the soul of India was attacked. Let this be a day when India wakes up from the deep slumber and finally takes concrete steps in scourging out this menace once and for all. Lets us all take a pledge that we will do everything in our power to help in fighting this monster. Let us cooperate with the security personnel when they frisk us. Let us have a police verification done of our tenants and servants. Let us ourselves be willing for a background check if our landlord so demands. Let us be PROACTIVE RATHER THAN REACTIVE.
