The aftermath....

Another terrorist attack in Mumbai...this oness more dangerous and more horrible than the last..when the train blasts happened on 11th september(i hope i've not got the date wrong!!)two years back,I was near the Bandra station.we were going to take a train home,but mum called on my cell and asked me to take the bus..i dont no y..she got an intution or something..??but we did that and reached home..before the city became a traffic jam(panicked ppl trying to get home)and the cellphone signals switched off(the police did that for security reasons).the instant we got home and switched the television on,the news surprised us..moments before we were near the station...and no blasts,no nothing heard..rush hour and everyone was in a hurry to get home..and the moments later,all this blast thing...true this was the first time they'd stuck the heartline of mumbai,the local trains and i thought that there could be no other attack as horrifying and of course surprising as this one..clearly i was wrong...
the train blasts made us a bit cautious..after that whenever we used to travel by train,we used to have a look around the compartment(some of the people i knew would even look under the seats)..and see if there was anything or anyone behaving unnaturally...
what angered me(and still has me seething)are these speeches given by the politicians once a terrorist attack has taken place.."the people need to be strong and not panic..if we reamain united..the terrorists willnot succeed in their mission..."and then of course they have a standard line.."these cowardly(or dastardly..different adjectives are used everytime)acts of the terrorists have shocked the whole nation..but we will not be cowed down...and..the guilty ones will be punished..."What the fuck man..??u talk about 'being united so that the terrorists not succeed in theis mission'...fuck off..Mr.politician.. dont u see that they(the terrorists)have already succeeded in their 'mission'??which other fucking mission of theirs is left incomplete??they've already done the damage they intended to..killed people,destroyed property..done whatever... what else is left for them to do??!!and yet these dumb politicians will go on and on...
the cowardly acts of the terrorists they(the politicians)say..i say what cowardly u idiots..??itzz gutsy..if not anything else..the terrorists managed to kill the innocents in broad daylight...without anyone stopping them or whatever..cowardly it is in the sense that "they chose to protest or make their voice heard(whatever their cause might be)..through violence...".. then the politicians ask for people to stay calm..hell..!!did they the oldies,dumb oldies stay calm when the parliament was attacked??the parliament attack led to the biggest mobilization of forces in the country post-independence and led to fears of a nuclear war with that pakistan...but it was timely averted...now that brings me to ask..u asshole politicians,how calm were you oldiezz...??their statement that the 'act of the terrorists have shocked the nation"..i doubt Mr.politician..i doubt that...with attacks taking place every month..no ones surprised..lest of all shocked..now the scenarios such that if people hear of any blast..they go like.."ohk..one again?? which place is it now??"no shock or anything...then the last thing that irritates me is their claim that 'the guilty ones will be punished'..fuck off again..Mr.politician..no one ever is..forget punished..no one is caught even..no one is convicted..no one is proved guilty...the sad..but true reality...how else can u explain afzal guru(the 2001 parliament attack convict)still being alive when he was sentenced to death..years ago..(but here too the popular sentiment among people is that he is being punished to hide some 'big' people..no one nozz who or what..then the other thought is that the Congress doesnot want to offend the Muslims..fuck their votebank policies)but the bottomline is that 'no one wants to do the dirty work'..really now...
what saddens me the most is that the politicians think only of themselves and not of the 'greater good'..its frustrating...
