We hear about bomb blast, we are petrified… we call our loved ones and once we get the assurance that everything is fine, we take a sigh of relief, and take the remote control and flip on news channel to see the best footage, trust me these news channels during such scenario are best source of entertainment, hey its original as real as a realty show, what’s more its “LIVE” and its “BREAKING NEWS”. No I am not trying to blame the media, they do this to get their “BITE”, and earn their bread, neither am i blaming the stupid common Man. What i don’t like is the memory of “stupid common man”.
This is not the first time that Mumbai is a hot spot on terror radar. I try and compare the London tube train blast, Madrid bombings and the 9/11 WTC attack, one thing that strikes out is that lightning never struck again. And if we talk about Mumbai, we are a soft spot very vulnerable target, we’ve been attacked three times successfully, and the cheery on the icing is that we as a country is resilient and we don’t retaliate, and that’s great. I totally believe an eye for eye will leave this world blind. The question here is valuing human life, if we ask a question to our bosses (politicians) do they really value our life or they believe in pricing it? A dead body at 100,000 Rs and an injured man who’s bread earning hand is amputated at 25,000 Rs. This has to stop and our leaders must focus on our security. To counter that argument security will always be an issue in a city having population as high as 19 million* and police force of 39,000 to serve, this means for every 487 people there is one COP.
The recent attack proved that it’s not the stupid common man who is hot favorite of terror groups, it can be the big elite, Rich & famous of South Mumbai. It’s a pity that son or daughter of any politician was not present as Taj Mahal Hotel, if they would have been this would have been a beginning of end of lethargic & myopic political games. We are a nation of thinkers, and always almost all of us have an opinion on anything be it Sachin’s 90’th ODI “FIFTY” or TATA NANO the 1 lakh ki “GADDI”. What we don’t want is bunch of classy people with their espionage and debate on ‘What we should do?’.
We as a country are in desperate need of doers and no thinkers to save this “DYEING BOMBAY”
*Including suburbs of Thane & Mumbai

One fact that i wud like to share is that after the terror attack on Mumbai yesterday the US govt called up a cabinet meeting in response to these attacks before the Indian Govt did, this shows the kind of seriousness that our so called leaders pay to such events, I sincerely believe that the parliament attack should have been successful then maybe our sleeping leaders might have woken up and today this incident may not have happened.
True..
we need tough Leadership..
Someone like Vallabhai Patel
may be Narendera Modi minus his Extreem Hinduism
> we should have better, fascilities to detect bombs and better intellligence in place
, borders should be sealed
, Government should show some urgency in dealing with crime
Just note a fact
Our union cabinet decided to meet today but ppl in white house had a meeting before our cabinet meeting
this shows the level of urgency our govt shows while dealing with such a serious issues...
All we need is a leadership which is determined to work against terror.
All investments are secondary all missiles and Sukhois are secondary...
Primary is internal security
and u know its difficult to
do this bcoz.
1. the kind of society we are living in
2. the magnitude of the problem
3. the kind of vote bank politics we have in place
Could'nt agree more on that
