Of dirty politicians,friendly mumbaikars and the unfortunate few...

It feels very bad to find one's country make the headlines in all websites,not for some pleasant stuff but for a disgraceful act of extremism,that seems to have become quite regular since a few years.The feel of being helpless to contribute in anyway and the uneasiness lingering for atleast a day thinking of fellow citizens and their miserable plight - its all become quite common for any NRI.

The websites pouring regular updates,70% of which are what the bloody politicians feel about the mishap,without realizing the gravity of the situation.How many times have we seen such incidents and the irresponsible comments that the political party heads carelessly send across through the media.Wonder if they would react the same way had they lost their son or daughter in the tragedy.

Such a spineless display from the government and a puppet Prime Minister who made a namesake address to the nation,probably after getting approval from his party head,who took pride in making an inspection of the blast site in a cavalcade of cars,disrupting all relief efforts and closing traffic..All this could happen only in India.I wonder if it would be the same kind of reaction had it transpired in any other country,say the U.S or its so called ally against terrorism - Pakistan.

Every website has this comment about Mumbaikars being very friendly and resilient to any kind of attack.I wonder if this is in itself basis and invitation for such attacks and tragedies?The Govt never gives a shit about the people's safety and never takes steps towards quick reaction and crisis management after the occurrences of disasters as it knows the public will handle the situation better.The political parties,namely the bloody Sena,Congress and the BJP are all busy fighting over some bloody statue desecration and religion,with the thought in the back of their minds that 'Mumbaikars' dont need them as they can handle everything themselves.I feel its time for the people to raise against the local and central Govt demanding some kind of explanation and assurances for steps to be taken in the immediate future to avoid such fiascos.

Such stuff,wherever they happen,whoever gets to suffer,it brings a very sad feeling of helplessness and gloom that subtly ends up hampering all activities in the daily routine.I dont feel like writing much due to this helpless feeling.I just wish that such things never happen in future.My heart goes out for the innocent ones who lost their lives for no mistake of theirs.

What a mess have we forced ourselves in, in India!

I agree with this a 100%. But then again, what do you expect the people to do ?
