What is wrong?

Finally, after nearly 2 days of horror and terror, India(the world) is tardily getting back. 

Back to terms with what has happened!

Back with loads of questions!

Back after the scenes of blood and death!

Back after the sincere efforts of the commandos and police putting their life at stake!

Back with a pride of having ceased the militants and saving the life of hostages!

But for me more than anything, the questions remain the priority. I still can't reconcile to the fact that around 20-25 militants kept the the whole nation(even the world) gazing at every action of theirs. The country of 1.1 billion watching with fear and anguish at these militants, the Mumbaikars visiting the spots of terror and the rest of India tuning into their tv sets for the latest update and you find different stories coming up every hour. 

Yes, we tend to get angry at the terrorists, think if they have a family, think of their backgrounds and ask ourselves about them, but will that ever give us back what we lost?

The answer is a big NO. Yes, there would be support and a shoulder to cry for the affected but how long will it sustain? For a month or 2? or till the next attacks(elections)? 

I am proud at the way our commandos and military and police did their job. The tv channels did a commendable job as well, if not for them we wouldn't have been aware of the happenings but they did a little too much i suppose. I wonder if it was their mistake, every hour you had a different headline coming up and at times i even felt that they were just commercializing the entire situation. The hotel staff according to me were the real heroes, their efforts to save the lives of the occupants demands salute and respect. Great job mates, we love you. India loves you!

What has the political community contributed? I heard people saying with pride that Mr. Deshmukh flew all the way from Kerala as soon as he heard of the incident. Is that not his responsibility? What big did he do than that? He is just another Indian politician who has just used the opportunity he got and managed to announce his arrival back to Mumbai in the loudest of ways, expecting a better rating for all the way he has been ruling the state of Maharashtra over the years. His ways of approaching the regional conflicts clearly evinces his ignominious governance. I would rather call him a crybaby running a government, sorry Mumbaikars  its your mistake did you not have a better leader? This mistake of yours has definitely proved costly dear fellow Indians!

What has Mr. Narendra Modi got to do there, has he even seen a rifle in his lifetime. I wonder if he is so stupid, a gull. His preposterous and absurd remarks shows his inferiority as a leader. Is he not aware of the situation out there, bloody he himself needs protection and if i were a security person i would have shot him right there, at a time when the life of the commandos and police are at stake his acts had to have some sense. Senseless idiots ruling this nation, poor India again!

I saw the footage of the terrorists in the tv channels, they could get hold of the terrorists where the hell were the policemen then. Its been a regular scene in Mumbai, we don't find the security personnel when we badly need them, even when the MNS attacked the railway station they were no where near the incident and here again they have repeated the same mistake, i wonder when they would learn from their mistakes. Its high time they stop repeating it. Should we arm the journalists and not the policemen?

Both the BJP and the Congress were found to be cooperating yesterday in spite of the various differences and i was just all the more excited and happy but i need to check that again. Days ahead i am sure there will be a lot of voice over these issues, it definitely is a lack of proper security in Mumbai but i hate to see Mr. Advani and his men campaigning for the elections citing this as their reason for a change of government. This is just bad politics being played. They would have done nothing different in the national perspective, without a proper action plan i believe India can never eliminate this. We have one of the most disgraceful and scandalous politics in the world, unless and until we the citizens of India act unitedly and elect the best(among the worst) representative for ruling us.

I am sorry for Mr. Karkare, Mr. Salaskar, Mr. Kamte and all those who lead from the front and sacrificed their lives. Your families miss you, even we do miss you. I hope the significance of your loss is understood by these atrocious politicians and they at least now work against terrorism leaving behind this inglorious game of politics behind. We will see the pictures of these brave men as part of the election campaign as well but this will be limited till the dawn of the election and further that they are forgotten heroes. I just heard Major Unnikrishnan's dad speak of his sons brave death, he sounded a proud dad, i wish even my dad would be made proud someday. Unni, you have done the best a son can do. We are elated by your effort to rescue your fellow mate and sacrificing your life for him.

I cannot stop yelling at this politics of ours, the terrorists stand more united than these ruling men who are so divided and that makes my country fall in every minor issue, wonder what would happen to this 1.1 billion odd people if this politics sustains. 

Whose mistake is it? I ask myself, the coast-guard? They were incapable of making this long coast of ours more secure. The police? They were incapable of acting swiftly when the tv channels could get hold of the militants. The hotel authorities? They had not performed the necessary security checks on the guests. Needless to say of the politicians. But the coast-guard later were capable of locating the ships which aided in the transportation of the militants. The police though a little late put their life at stake to save the people. The hotel staffs who were among the heroes who cared a little for their lives and considered their guests lives supreme and did the best for the safety of the guests many sacrificing themselves. And here again the politicians stand isolated, unitedly isolated. 

Nothing seems perfect, absolutely nothing. As long as these irregularities are addressed in the best possible way i find my India nowhere, transparency rules my country. Everything bloody thing is so transparent that anyone can do anything. I wonder if this is what we shamelessly call democracy and independence. People fear to go out of their houses, explosions at will, no one is spared not even the new born baby. Seeing the Israeli child whose parents died in the attacks at Nariman house made me feel his pain, his parents have left him and he is an orphan now i wished if i could take care of him. India needs to act together, act wise. Each of us need to understand our significance, individually you can do a lot for this nation but together we can do a lot more. 

Finally let me put it this way, the basic fundamental right that every citizen of India has is the right to vote, but even in the recent elections i found the turn around to be just around 50%. Why is it so? Please my dear Indians, your vote is precious and if you ever feel the necessity of a more secure India for your successors and heirs you need to be part of the change yourself. Don't you want your children to live in a safer India? I know the answer is yes, so please vote. I just enrolled myself today. Its never late.
