Another series of blast. November 26th 2008
Yeah! We would say how could they do it. We will talk about it, today, tomorrow, another week. Sometimes next month.
Then It’s over for us. Silence .Forgotten for ever.
It’s over because talking is all we can do about it and what can we do about it. It’s the nation’s problem. Isnt it?
Such news (the Bombay blasts) rarely charges us up to question the why and who aspect. The media gives us the when and where and how. We love spoon feeding. We are addicted to it.
Parents call up their kids studying out stations, friends call up friends around. We just secure ourselves more coyly into our security blankets. We feel safe. We feel safe and can talk about the catastrophe. Talking again.Blah!
The day it will hit upon us is when someday a familiar name would read something like, sustained gunshots and was declared brought dead at the hospital.
Its then we go quite.Silent.
Then it’s the other kind of silence,another kind of numbness,you feel a stone sinking in the pit of the stomach.
Till declared brought dead, we chatter and talk. After all we can do nothing. It’s a piece of verbose when they refer to us as the future of the nation. After all we love talking.
I mourn the loss of lives in Mumbai,people are being killed as I write this.May their souls rest in peace and may God grant strength to those left behind.

If TALKING TOO much is what you complain about, and if this is a top priority issue, then at ground level, why are we talking more only about "national issues" like SRK and discussing movies only with friends and colleagues. If we feel equally responsible, we must talk, we must debate about the real issues like poverty, education, causes of terrorism at least with those we know with a high degree of frequency. If our actions need a change, our minds need to evolve. And for that, debates and discussions round the clock is the best we can do for now, instead of discussing petty issues. I condemn these acts and the people behind these acts as strongly as any other Indian, and the need for far more better security measures goes without saying, but we also need to talk about curing such diseases parallel to the preventive measures needed to be taken.
Hu ha ha ha !!
Everything is politics, elections are round the corner!!
