Mumbai under attack, yet again

I am swinging between burning with mad rage and wanting to weep with helplessness. Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Vilasrao and the rest – we’ve voted you to power. We don’t need your condolences or want to know the scale of this emergency. Just do your job and ensure safety and peace in this country. We’re not a country of cowards. And since you represent us, you can’t be one too. A HUNDRED people have been killed. Can you even count from 1 to 100? Do you know what each loss of life means?

My prayers and hugs are with the Mumbaikars. I am trying to maintain my sanity by switching off from the continuous stream of news and images. Dear media people, we really don’t want to know how the terrorists contacted Karachi or how dead bodies look like. This happens everyday. By now, we know the routine by heart.

    Exactly my sentiments. I feel so vulnerable and helpless. And I know the majority of Indian population feels the same.

    The media sickens and overkills, but probably that is the reason we know the exact picture out there and have so strong sentiments against both the terrorists and the lawmakers. Switching off news streams and delegating to the corrupt ministers won’t help. We need to do something proactive, starting from the root level. We need drastic reforms in our society and constitution and law and order. Don’t ask me where to begin. I don’t have an answer, we’ll have to find one.

    i know closing my eyes won’t make anything go away. it’s just an attempt to stay sane in this madness.
