An Introspection into the week bygone

Can u imagine somebody living without electricity?...Well I cant...and i thought the same for most of the sane people on this earth...But that conviction of mine has been proved wrong. There is this house jst near my block, which affectively doesnt have a electricity connection, can u imagine, how they must be living. Wow just think about it, the whole day and night without bulb, fans (u dont need one here but....) and more importantly TV or comps....wow...

That was the lighter part. Now for the serious stuff. Mumbai attacked in broad daylight. The bloody a******s, who attacked were there for more than 50 hours killing all those 150 people, its not good. 

Till last week I had thought that I had seen everything nightmarish that can happen in this world. I had seen the devastating 2001 earthquake, the floods in gujarat, the worst riots, a life threatening scare of racial violence here, almost everything except a tornado maybe...but then this has been the worst thing ever to happen to India. 

People have done analysis and detailed analysis of what may have been wrong, so my analysis has got to be irrelevant, nevertheless I would comment. It can be termed as a great intelligence failure on the part of the authorities..but then you cant do anything after it happens. So I dont want to blame any one. What we can make sure is that we dont face another attack like this. Take assistance from Israel, who have been instrumental in driving out terrorism from their shores for good. Take help from Britain and USA who havnt had an serious terrorist after the 9/11 and 7/7. 

A plea to the government, just do whatever you can to stop this. please please.

and lastly I do salute the Indian security agencies for doing the best they could in midst of all this happening and the resources they had in their hands.

trying to cheer after a gloomy week.
