UK Diaries - Nov 9 - News Mania/Anger

Wow! today reading thru 'The Times of India' site amazed me. MNS guys hit SP' Abu Azmi for taking his oath in hindi. Arey yaar! by gawd, mujhey toh iss sab nonsense pe bahut gussa aata hain... WTH is this? Hindi ho, marathi ho yaa Telugu yaa apni koi bhi language, humaari marzi, we have the fundamental right to speak the way and the language that we want to...Huh! I really have started hating these morons. Koi kaam dhaam nahi, ghar se nikaltey hain, kisi ki thukai karney ke liye bas. Bloody Goondas! Do thappas lagaaney chahiye aisey logon ko, ek din mein akal aa jaayegi... Another interesting piece is, Mr. Manu Sharma, the great killer of Jessica, is on parole and he was found partying at a nightclub. THIS is what life is. Poor will suffer for stealing chai-paani and Ameer-guys will party after murdering a jeeta jaagta insaan. Wah rey India!! Wah rey System!!Well, ab main itni koi saadhu mahatma toh hun nahi.. waisey bhi life ki band baji hain... feels like, its better if I kill that guy. :D Hadd hain, by gawd. Ek aur feather(pankha) in the cap is that, according to World Economic Forum India ranks 134th on the Man-Woman equality list. Ahem! obvious hain waisey toh... par sad bhi... :( When Manu-the man, can kill Jessica- the woman, over a drink, kuch bhi ho sakta hain... We boast of domestic violence, rapists, violence against women and girl child and I believe secretly India -the country cries in shame sometimes.hmmph... I always tell my train partner ki subah subah news paper matlab depression ka full dose. Yaa toh BP badd jaata hain yaa morale ghat jaata hain..Khair, I am toh completely disgusted with the news for today. Nothing much exciting in office but yeah! I love playing with Kabootar log at the station... :) I bought 6 books last nite(Emma,Brida,The Associate,Twilight,Time Traveller's Wife and one UK ka local author) for which I spent 30 pounds and Prachi tells me "Ki dilli mein toh 400 mein pirated copied mil jaayengi"... and she is right. But then, I told her that I need them right now.She was sweet enuff to tell me, toh fir bindaas pado..socho mat :D :D There was some amount of snowfall in my office town and the temperature today is 3 degrees. I bought two coats but none of them helps :P Wahi puraani ghisi peeti kahaani... lol Arey yaar!! how was ur weekend?? Mast kya??

Things are not always what they seem to be...

Bahut zor shor ke saath I promised a post on HOW TO SHOO A POTENTIAL GROOM away, sadly it will have to wait till next time... Hmm... wondering why?? Well, there are more bizarre things as compared to THIS. Newspaper is my favorite breakfast...now don't imagine me, eating up all the papers... I mean, I love reading newspapers like 85% of hindustani population and the news items fascinate me, shock me and at times trouble me. Like today's headline did. It talked about HC panel's findings that 19 yr old Ishrat (in picture) was killed as a part of the fake encounter... You know what I felt the very moment I read it... I wanted to catch hold of all the officers who were involved in it and burn them alive... (Okay! I know I get hyper... par it is justified). Just for the sake of promotions and some medals they killed 4 innocent people... By gawd! mere dimaag mein bas ek hi baat aati hain... yeh log kahaan jaakey bharengey yeh saarey paap... I sometimes feel scared that who knows someday it can happen to someone I know... what will I do then?? Will I just sit-up and watch all the shit happening quietly or will I do something to change it all?? I think I would choose the latter... better to die fighting for justice than witnessing this crap... I am pretty agitated... how about abducting the officer's kids and killing them?? haan... huh! But then, we are not that big the devils... I truly wish that everyone who kills innocent people like this, burns in hell and gets rotten till they are alive... I feel disgusted right now... seriously... Rabba!! hum sabki band bajaaney ke liye agar aapkey paas time hain toh aisey bandon ka kuch kyun nahi kartey... Next in the line of troublesome stuff was this one liner - 'Only whores choose partners'. I was busy guessing who cud have said that, when I saw an old man's pic next to the news-piece.He is some moral police for a village and community called 'KHAP'. So, Sunny now you know that all the shit they show in TV serials is not that fake... According to this cruel-man(I wud not take the pains of calling him GENTLEMAN), no woman has the right to choose her partner and ofcourse nothing like same gotra marriages. Kitna time hain inn logon ke paas, sahi mein. They call it protecting their honor... Honor by killing the couples who marry in same gotra, by killing women who dare to speak... Fine. No decent language now. I SPIT ON THEIR HONOR-STORY, BULL-SHIT. Yeah! I am angry... so wat... I am just done with this crap of honor and moral policing. I am done with this shit of fake encounters and innocent people being killed... Theek hain, I know I cannot catch these morons by collar and punch them on their face... but I, for sure, can write about it... share about it... and I did just that. SHAME ON Former city police commissioner K R Kaushik, JCP (crime branch) P P Pande, suspended DIG D G Vanzara, then ACP G L Singhal, and ACP N K Amin who planned this encounter for their selfish motives. SHAME ON Mahendra Singh Tikait, the Chaudhary of KHAP community for stupid moral policing. Guys, some day, your past will catch up with you and each one of you will pay for it all...if the findings are true. And of course, Mr. Narendra Modi, do you have anything to say abt it?? I know Mom, Gals should not swear :) but then don't you say good human beings don't harm others... This one is a fair deal here!! P.S. I wonder why these days my posts are more about Jagruti and Revolutions. May be, I have started seeing the world as it is... and not with rose-tinted glasses. Good for me.

Shockers and Shakers!!

Khair... I toh always believe that everyday is all about something exciting no matter if the reasons are positive or negative, excitement gotta be positive at the end of it all.

This week was all about shockers and some shakers.

- Me and Mom were discussing about PF when she told me that no-one get his PF withdrawn without paying commission. You need to bribe the clerks there to get your PF. Not that I did not know about it, its just that, I thought it was an old practice and now people are more into system and rules. It was a shocker for me for sure. Ask me why...well I am someone who is so adamant about not bribing that I usually avoid getting into any government office related work. I can never understand why I need to bribe that Clerk for getting MY hard-earned money. Was he sitting there with a hand-fan and shooing away the MAKHKHI-log (flies) from my money?? Crap!

- Another shocker is me almost getting to do something I already wrote in my list : Yeah the list that read "THINGS I WILL NEVER DO IN THIS LIFE"... Although, I escaped getting that done many a times, but this time emotional blackmail will make me do it... Now..Now... Don't guess too much. It is about getting a picture clicked for SHAADI-stuff in a photo-studio...LOL... I know some of you might have just looked at the screen, then scratched that head of urs and then shrugged "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL IN THAT?"...hehe... But well, I have my reasons and I find it very embarassing so its on my Never-do-it list as of now.

- Shaker was next... Mom came up and told me that there are some marriage proposals that came by paper-mail and she wanted me to take a look at them... I opened them with THAT look on my face, which says.."OMG, fir sey...nahiiiiiiiiii" but when I folded the letter back I was all giggles.Somebody misread the advt in the newspapers and sent a gal's bio-data and I was like "Mom, I agree...meri umar ho gayi...ab toh ladkiyon ke rishtey bhi aaney lagey...". My mom looked at me, then at the letter and she was like "Rabb, ki hoyega aiss kudi daa?"... (means what's in store for this gal or probably in short she is impossible). Mom, I am sure Rabb is busy searching for a bride too. Unkey parents ne bhi unki band bajaa rakhkhi hogi..."Beta shaadi kar lo...shaadi kar lo"... I wonder... :P :D

- Another shaker was that I went to cast my vote with full excitement(It was my first time), I have always stayed away from home and never got a voter's id card. So, I entered the room with full swing confidence and in all my excitement I did not hear the official asking me something..."FODDER's NAIM"..."FODDER'S NAAIIIIIM"... I kept looking at him and he gave up and said "Madam, pitaji ka naam bataaye"... I was like "Haww...mainey yeh kya suna tha"...hehe and I apologised and told him "Mujhey aapka bolna samajh nahi aaya" and he replied sarcastically -"Madam, hum kis liye hain...aap logon ke liye 2-3 baar toh bol hi saktey hain"...I wanted to laugh at his face... Par vote karna tha naa....hehehe

- Yesterday something happened that took the award of best shocker when my colleague sent an informal mail sent by me to her and my managers. I told her abt a new assignment I was given and that I will not be able to work with her. That was my biggest mistake. She got panicked...that who'll take care of the project and stuff. She forwarded my mail to everyone possible to tell them to get me back to the team. Imagine what I wrote in that mail along with the attached mails "SAALA!! AB KYA KYA KAAM KARUN? TERA KAAM KAISEY KARUNGI MAIN?"...LOL... Ab tak toh it was a shaker but it turned into a shocker when my manager called me and asked me about it.

How has it been with you guys?? Ankii is still enjoying me doing his seva all time. :P and teasing me.

ABHI NAHI... TOH KABHI NAHI

With the DHOOM of elections everywhere, our country looks nothing short of a MACHCHI BAZAAR... I wud say it is worst than that. Aunties(Read Mayawati, Sonia Gandhi, Menaka Gandhi,Jayalalitha,Sushma and most of their clans) keep pulling each other down, in one way or the other. Some raise questions on upbringing, others on religion and the rest on the domicile. Makes me laugh and reminds me of Mohalla Culture... jahaan auratein dhaniya methi todey todtey... kayee ghar bhi tod jaati hain ;) Frooti ad-men are shouting it aloud "Never Grow up"... and I think the only people listening are Uncles and Aunties of Political world...they really will never grow up... Wish they did. Uncles (Advani,Modi,Chidambaram,Laloo,Varun,Prakash Karat and their gangs) threaten each other, blame each other, give away money, sleep around with women in Delhi and get up again to fight FOR the country... IRONICAL... Did you read the report about how the prostitutes in Delhi are all busy during peak election season as all party bosses need to de-stress... and relax after a day of bitching and mud-slinging...?? BAAP REY!! Yeh chalaayengey apna desh?? Everywhere we see the messages like " VOTE AGAINST CORRUPTION" " VOTE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW"... and blah blah... I say... Okay! cool... I agree but whom do I vote for?? I dont see any potential person I can confide in and or I can trust my country with... I dont see anyone who holds that promise for the citizens of the country that future is going to be brighter... Whom shud I vote for?? Sorry... I donno... When I decided to vote for Mayawati (LOL, ofcourse am joking), her MPs start bashing men, molesting women and spreading terror, so I give up... Then I thought about voting for BJP(yeah, I was drunk when I thought abt it), but BJP MPs started distributing money and MAA DAA LADLA Varun gave a long hate speech and I cud feel communalism dripping off his words the way it does frm the party itself. Main kaha... chalo ji... koi nahi... Left parties ke barey mein sochein... but then I saw them standing nowhere without a backbone... Sab hua... I thought abt my favourite Laloo ( Oh! he is awesome with those silly one-liners...hehe), but he said he wud have crushed Varun... VIOLENT!! ahem! Ek chance SP ko bhi diya... but Sunjoo Baba also started playing dirty tricks with his 'BADEY BHAIYA' Amar Singh... Iss aadmi ko koi kaam nahi...sahi mein....Yeh choti si musibat ki pudiyaa... :D Finally laut ke budhdhu ghar ko aaye... thought abt Congress and how they sweet talked and blindfolded the country and led us to where we are... I respect Dr. Manmohan Singh for who he is... coz I heard my grandpa talk abt him when I was a kid and he was always perceived by me as an intelligent man. But ji... yahan bhi but aa gaya... Inflation hitting all time high and then dropping down to almost ZERO... ( THAT IS oh-so-dangerous)...Deflation is never too good for any economy... Terrorist dancing to glory and Scams flexing their muscles... all happened under this intelligent leadership. After a lot of hard work and thinking process, I gave in.... and decided I will blindfold myself and play Teeny Weeny Wanky and vote... SHOCKED?? Well, I forgive easily at times.. but I cant forgive 26/11,Ayushi murder, Soumya Murder, Rapists living it up, Criminals contesting elections, Scams, Law-breakers... Grrrrrrrrrrr....so it is better I leave it all up and vote without knowing whose hands am I dumping my country in. I was about to seal this decision of mine but then I met some wonderful kids this weekend and they made me change my decision. I realized that if I'll act so ignorantly and so will others then what will happen to these kiddos(AAMIR KHAN AD HANGOVER:))... hehe I think this is high time I shud feel responsible for my country and for its future... ABHI NAHI... TOH KABHI NAHI... and although I have never voted at all... THIS time I WILL... I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOME WAY... Coz cribbing and blaming is all that I have done so far.. it is time for me to take charge of who I want to lead me to a better future... Everyone has imperfections but I have to look beyond them... and choose a leader who will guide me and my country to a better tomorrow. I think our tolerance has been mistaken for ignorance oflate... and I think the time has come for us to get up, pour some cold water in our eyes, remove the curtains, do away with darkness and let the light come in.. All in all, I want to urge all the people who still managed to hang on to this post (which is not funny, interesting and may be not at all happy) to VOTE... VOTE AGAINST EVERY WRONG TO MAKE IT ALL RIGHT :) Hain ki nahi... baad mein yeh toh nahi bologey naa ki main vote karta toh baat hi kuch aur thi... toh miss nahi karney ka... Vote karney ka..iss election mein :) ;) Pics : http://www.bollywood.com/files/images/vote.nodedisplay.gif, http://www.campaignindia.in/files/images/leadindia2009365.gif

Living under the GUN

Brutal...Gruesome...Inhuman....

All these words are not enuff to define the UP Police's treatment to the man who died as a victim of police firing while the innocent farmers who were protesting for their land in Greater Noida were being shot at it and their shooting at the farmers.

These adjectives are not enough even for the treatment meted out by the people of J&K . We have had many examples in the past : A factory in Gurgaon, Various Silent Protests where innocent people were shot at and lathi-charged, Nandigram and there wud have been many...Some of them were covered by Indian Media and some were just ignored....People kept dying and we watched silently.

Even if some voices were raised, they were suppressed forever. This is no Hindi Cinema, THIS IS REAL LIFE.

All news channels carried just two main news-pieces today,Greater Noida Police firing and Trafffic Jams by VHP and BJP in NCR, Mumbai and Delhi. Mom is travelling to Mumbai today via train and I am so worried about her and Sunny...I have absolutely no faith in our system and security now.

I am fed up of these stupid protests by all these political parties...aboslute nonsense... We don't want them to do that for us...The common man suffers the whole day...Just coz of these jams people taken to the hospitals die on their way...Endless wait ends with death!!

For god's sake, we have had enuff of turmoil in the country for past few months. We have seen it all: bomb blasts,violence,corruption,killing for money, women being sexually assaulted, Child-abuse convicts being acquitted...and more of shit...

All we want right now is our unity and calm.We don't need no political party to go there and declare war for us...Nopes...Frankly, I wonder if the common man gives a damn to all this crap of Whom does the land belong to? Who gave money to whom?. We need peace and harmony. Rather than leading the nation in this direction, the politics of the country is leading us towards doom.

Before we cud just gear up to celebrate Abhinav Bindra's excellence in Beijing Olympics and our 61 years of Independence, our country started burning again...Where will it end is what I ask everytime?And I am left with no answers...

I cud hear the TV reporter cry while he was talking abt people being shot at...and left on the road to die...I donno wat else shud I say. Wish I cud just go out there and make everything alrite... :(

Is this a democracy? Is this humanity?Is this is what 61 years of Independence mean?

AS PER OUR PLAN

And as I suggested sometime back in one of my posts, the Karnataka govt has finally come up with a plan to assign IDs to all its residents so that they'll be able to do the needful from their side to curb terrorism. Hope this move inspires other states also.

And it did not end there...

It is so ironical that at the time when I was reading up Chetan Bhagat's "Three Mistakes of My life", Ahmedabad was burning. There were another series of blasts (almost 17) in the city and they even blew up Civil Hospital where victims were treated. :( I said 'ironical' coz the book I read was also about a story based in Ahmedabad and how the city survived an earthquake and a dark day in the history of the city when Hindu-Muslims burnt each other to death during Godhra Incident. It is about three friends : Govind, Ish and Omi ; their small but ambitious business of a sports' shop and how were they affected each time Gujarat went thru a low. It also talks about the communal riots in the year 2002 that left the whole nation feeling ashamed of the inumanity people showed towards each other. When I was going thru the turbulences that Govind and his frenz went thru while saving a muslim boy Ali, the city was actually going thru the worst in the present time 26th July 2008. There were almost 17 blasts reported that injured 200 people to be approximate and killed some 40 people. If Bangalore was not enuff!! I feel so insecure and suffocated and at times guilty for not being able to do anything to save these people. The book clearly reflects how fury can make one kill in the name of religion and it does not matter even if the person at the receiving end is a small kid who is unaware tht he is hanging around with people whose relatives murdered his family out of rage. When I picked up the book, I cursed myself for choosing it over the romances as it started on a depressing note. But sooner I realised I cud not leave it before I finish reading it so I finished in straight 3 hours.(I have some reading speed, I tell u). The story that started started on a sad note tuk me thru a journey filled of emotions,courage,submission,religional-violence,selfish and crude politics, humantiy and the essence of love which is still alive somewhere inside all of us. The courage that a strict HINDU priest's son showed when he gave up his life fighting to save a MUSLIM kid is touching yet inspiring. It made me feel no matter what We, the people don't intend to avenge ourselves by killing others. It is only the seeds of revenge and violence that are bred inside us by some political parties feeding their own self-interests and fake egos, that make people feel indifferent towards other on the basis of something as sacred as religion. The book is a must read for every Indian and ofcourse for everyone else too as it makes one realize, there is till some amount of humanity left in there. They say everything rests on hope and I hope someday...one day the sun will shine again, someday a rainbow will appear...there will be some silver lining somewhere...!! With this note, I end my post today and well, its already too late and I have not slept. FYI, the fever came back again. Although, latest is Mom mademe switch to soups and boiled veggies for the time-being as she feels my intestines need loads of rest. They do and what about my mind...grrrrr.... I knw I can feed myself up some Mills n Boons stuff and feel a lil better but what about those who lost their loved ones? :( For the book-related info : http://www.chetanbhagat.com/the_books/t3moml/index.html For more on the communal riots visit : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_violence P.S. Sadly, for two consecutive days my posts are only centred around blasts. :(

Another day of horror

One thing is for sure, Mom is always right. She asked me to avoid news channels and television and well, I did,but then my brother called me up in the afternoon and asked me to switch on the TV set and tune into news. My prompt reaction or question was if it was a depressive piece of news, he was like," OK, Don't!!". This triggered alarm bells, there was something really wrong somewhere and when I surfed thru all useless channels, I finally managed to find TIMES NOW and OMG! there were almost 6-7 serial blasts reported in Bangalore. I was all out of the anti-allergic daze I was in and I started fiddling thru my contact list to call up all the people I know of in bangalore and ask them if they were alrite. I was so shocked and felt a shiver run down my spine when I saw most of the blasts tuk place near my frenz's house. I smsed all of them as the news channels flashed the news of the telephone networks being jammed. I have many frenz there. Thankfully most of them replied and assured me that they were safe but some of them did not bother to respond and kept me biting my fingernails. Anyways, the medicines had already started working and probably the stress tuk to me, I collapsed in my bed and before I cud realise I was fast asleep. When I woke up in the evening, I saw one of my frenz generously responding to an sms sent 5 hrs back, he said " We r OK". I was kinda relaxed. All of the people on my list were safe but what about the others?? I wondered. We human beings are so selfish at times. :( I cud not muster up the courage to watch the news again, although mom told me there were not many casualties reported. If Jaipur blasts were not enuff to affect me, another serial blasts and that too in a city I am pretty close to. I have been travelling in and out of bangalore for past 6 months and it was like second home to me for a while. I cud identify with all the places flashed on the news and it was so scary. Mom was right, I shud not have watched the news, it made me feel so enraged and frustrated. When will this brutal killing spree end?? Nobody has the answers to these questions. IB says they knew abt it and well they think these attacks are retaliatory. Who cares?? We, the people of India and the world are haunted with just one question? WHY?? Why can't they just stop killing people? What's our fault? Why do we, the common people suffer? I am going to bed again today with so many questions crossing my mind. And before I do that, my uncle called me up to enquire abt my typhoid status. He advised me that it may replapse so I shud, I must take rest. How can I rest when I know the truth is one day it will be one of us! I have been an eye-witness to communal riots in Moradabad's village in UP and I will definitely write abt it but for now my heart-felt wishes for the Bangaloreans and I pray for their safety and well-being. There is no end to this violence. Absolutely no end. :(

Plan of Action...

This post is in continuation with my post on Jaipur bomb blasts and in answer to my dear friend Abhinav's comment. I realised that I have been doing nothing but cribbing about what happened,loopholes and blah blah....but I did not give any suggestions/solutions from my side... Thanks to him I got my wake-up call. :) In a way I was trying to avoid being foolish while presenting my suggestions....thats how everyone saves their skin...Abhi, its a day of self-realization for me...all credit to you.. I personally think if we stress upon few vital factors we can achieve a level of security in the country.

• Corruption : Rings bells in my ears!! but it is the core reason for the terrorism we are facing in India. I think we can do away with the frequency of attacks if we keep a check on it. Bribery for inflirtation,cross-border illegal immigration,fake ids,passports,driving licenses and all other proofs for being an Indian resident is the most prevelent reason which comes in picture whenevr a terror strike hits India.
• Security: Yet again, Money rules!! 3 months back a TOI reporter got access to the secured areas of IGI Airport in Delhi after bribing for few thousands. He worked there for 2 months shooting all the important security points. Security at the airports is for namesake. I have been travelling in and out of India frequently and I see that most of the times the cops dont even bother to stamp the bags, forget about making sure that I am travelling safe. I think we need to work strongly on our security in all areas. More alert cops (Wish the govt starts paying them well and they get some motivation and appreciation in their field of work) will definitely avert such tragedies.
• Poverty - If we could work on it in the right direction. I am not an economics student to comment on that but with the inflation rates soaring and the poverty increasing each day, I wonder why people wud not kill other for money?
• Alertness - CCTVs, Constant ID checks, Stringent laws are few measures that can make our country more alert towards such attacks.
• A Unified Approach : Central agencies tell State Agencies and they sleep over it.That is what we have been witnessing for long. There has to be a channelisation of the information in a secured manner so that right people have the information and they can act thereon and a feedback should be taken. What happens now is they convey the info and dont even bother to check back if the people acted on it and no one questions them until something happens.
• I agree that religion does not bear the fruits for terrorism but offlate a lot of Madrasas are promoting terrorism in the name of Jehad. Why we dont have a check on them? Why are we losing our educated countrymen to a bane like terrorism.

The numbers will increase but ofcourse We, the people can suggest but the concerned people have to implement the right-plan to restrict the losses we have borne at the hands of terrorism.

Wake-up call....Have you woken up yet??

Yet another bomb blast in India, and the political parties swing into action with the same old blame-game theory...Nobody is interested in tracing down the culprits(as it seems) and taking appropriate measures to strengthen the security of our country. I understand, terrorism and terrorists are everywhere but I strongly believe in the lessons I have learnt thru my dad. Ironically he hardly told me anything directly, I usually overheard him talking to someone and picked up his thoughts and tried my best to infuse them in my life. Dad once told my 6 yr old cousin," if you put a strong face holding hands together, the person who plans to harm your family will think twice before attacking you".I agree. Do you stop fighting back coz the enemy is stronger?? ah! I dont think so... I think why not we shun them so hard that they think twice before harming us...Someday they WILL give up on this madness in the name of religion.... Rather than cribbing about how strong,intelligent and omni-present the enemy is, we can take up the task in hand and take some hard core steps to control the situations that have killed many innocents all across the country. I really wonder( no offence meant here), who suffers at the end : The common man...the WE in the YOU that we carry with us... :( There is no Hindu and no muslim in the dead...they are all humans who had their families,jobs and dreams just like all of us...As it happens always, in Jaipur too, muslims came forward to help Hindus and viceversa. I personally feel these religious debates are politically motivated and the common man does not even bother to think about religion when it comes to his countrymen and people. A religion does not define a man, a man defines his religion. Its the man involved and not the religion involved who is the cuplrit. I feel pity for the people who believe that one's religion teaches him to kill innocent men,kids and women. Everytime such news hit the newspapers, the columnists come with examples of compassion and resilience of people in India. Gimme a break!! Enuff resilience...enuff tolerance....why cant we just stand up and say, "Once and for all, We are not going to tolerate it anymore". Why dont we just stop giving resilience and tolerance for an excuse and take charge and safeguard ourselves. High-time the government comes up with a PLAN OF ACTION. I heard about a federal agency coming up, my question is why was it not there and what is it with ATS,IB and RAW and even state intelligence agencies. Why come up with a new agency, why not re-visit our loopholes and make up for it right there with the teams that have the sheer experience that is required. I am not as intelligent as the people who sit at the top and take decisions but as a patriotic citizen of this country, who has always looked up to the National Flag with pride and ownership, it seems absolutely pointless when an IG,police comes up and says," We did not take the securirty threat information seriously". Damn, you have a convoy shielding you, why wud you? This shows how careless our system is, We cannot blame someone else for runing our peace and harmony...Nopes we cannot...Until we realise that WE(the system) are responsible for what happens to us.. I hope the government and security agencies wake-up to this call and stop giving childish interviews blaming one another for the mishaps....We shud join hands and safeguard what belongs to us....I am sure the common man will support all the measures, in case there are any taken. Let us stop the WHODUNNIT game and "whoz fault is it"- thing?? We are no soft-targets....let us prove we are indeed not soft...we welcome love with open arms and we know how to give it back to them.... P.S. Me not too gud with political stuff but cannot stop my emotional side talking...My sympathies with the pople who suffer at the hands of the fallacies on the system's part.
