26/11

Do we at all feel for it or is it symbolism [ with its striking resemblance to 9/11 - looks like our media are so deligted that it happened with a 11 suffix. Else how do we ape the US of A ;) ]

All news channel were running "Stories" on the heroics of the brave men who saved India from complete shame on that day. Atleast we have some men to truly lay their lives for th motherland. Parliament rocked by Politicos squabbling over compensation distribution, news hours filled with stupid post mortem debates.

What did we do in these 365 days to really feel more secure?
a. Did we buy modern weapons for the security guards?? [Leave alone training them on it. We din even make a Purchase requisition]
b. What happened to the promised Bullet proof vests??
c. How secure are we now? [One of the news channels telecasted a spy cam video of how lax the security is still in the Trident]
d. Have the "erring" people [politicos and men in uniform] been given what they deserve? [We din even change the incumbent Home minister in Maha - Shame]

Why does India celebrate an Anniversary lighting candles and praying in public for the martyrs and victims? Do we really deserve to be still called a democracy??

RR Patil was sacked for a careless statement. Now the "expiry date" for the statement has come. So everyone has forgotten it and he has been re instated. So a 6 month hiatus can make good anything. Is that the case?

We had "Social activists" [I do not endorse this term tho], on the streets of Mumbai, with lipstick and make up full done up ;)] asking for change [Obama fever was in full swing then ;)]. Where did they go in the intermittent 365 days?? They again surfaced yesterday evening to light candles again. Pseudo Activism to say the least.

only 118 out of 403 victims have been given their due compensation by the government. When the opposition raises this issue, the Speaker says, its a solemn day and we should not fight, the Leader of the ruling side says oppn politicising 26/11. But "Mr. PM" what have you done to call the oppn. to be faulty. Its a day for solemnisation, provided you had taken enough steps to call it so. You are in the US partying on a day when India was burning 365 days back. That shows the level of seriousness. Now lets not call this visit to be the goof up of the officials. Can't the PM remember one date in his calendar??

No action... All chatter anger. thats how India has been for long... lets change else, SHUT UP.... The terrorists will take advantage as long as we keep chatting with no action.....

  2. To develop the sixth sense , we need to constantly to use our other five senses ably and regularly and also ensure that we keep our framework of governance well oiled , and free from political expediencies , as otherwise this deficiency will be well manipulated by the wealthy to arm twist the judiciary,executive and legislatives in their becoming more a just an onlooker proving the dictum,CHIRAG THALE ANDHERA.Try keeping your Thumb Erect , and you realise that other four fingers are in unison with the Thumb. Try keeping Thumb Down, and you experience loosening of your hold, and I call this Intelligence failure.As a boy,after seeing the film CHOTI SE BAATH ,where Amol Palekar is found following the sign posts to reach his master Ashok Kumar, and is baffled by the last signboard showing upwards to North, meaning that final steps for reaching the final goal for each of us has to tread only on foot ,meaning you are yourself the True Master.I am also disturbed to find Congress party becoming unduly touchy to stray remarks of Shashi Tharoor to historical events, and instead of analysing his Thought process of the emanating idea, as an out of box thinking by the new breed of leaders. , they prefer to nip it in the bud through coercion to any plausible way of adapting to the ever changingenvironment.Old G-8 has lost its sting,thanks to economic slow down on the world scene , now they are wanting help from extended arm of BRIC nations or CHINDIA to absorb the shock felt by them on the Economic Horizon of the World.America is shrewd enough to fore-see tomorrow, and they have come all way through to bring India on the central stage of the world scene.
    just as poverty can be dimished only by widening of the wealth base,and this alone would enable humanity to check Terrorism,Just as even among five fingers Thumb plays like a Bully or Truant.similarly containing Terrorism is similar to chasing a Crooked Shadow and is not an easy job.
