Its Day Break after a looooooooooooooong Dark Night........

I would like to open this note by expressing my deepest condolences to all lives lost in the Mumbai Terror attack and also wound want to salute all the forces who were instrumental in getting the situation under control.

29th November 2008 marked the end of another BLACK DAY in India's history. It was a very long day that started on the night of 26th November. YES..... Mumbai was held at ransom for a whole 59 hours. It hurts to say that India has always borne the brunt of terror strikes time and again. Thousands of innocents have been killed and hundreds maimed and devastated in terror strikes in India in the last six years. But no terror attack of this magnitude has ever been witnessed. (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/India_a_major_terror_target/articleshow/3761676.cms).

As we know every issue does open up a can of worms, this one did too. There were several unanswered questions that every Indian has always had but they are now being more vocal about it.

  • Why does India always prove to be a Soft target for the terroists?
  • Is an average Indian Citizen Secure in their country ?
  • Why is there a security lapse ?
  • Why do the Governing bodies not take any strict measures against terror?
  • Why does our legal system suck and have several loopholes?
  • And many more......

It is upto us to take account of all these questions and ensure that we fill in these gaps (whatever it takes to do so) before the incident is long forgotten and we find ourselves facing another such incident. Every citizen is responsible to do his bit and the Govt. of course. It is time we accept our shortcomings and work together to cover them up rather than reluctantly saying "Its not my JOB".

The Media here is doing a wonderful job in expressing Public regret. India needs a radical change and I only hope that this incident acts a silver lineing in bringing about this change.
Nothing can compensate the lives lost in this carnage but I only hope that these sacrifices are accounted for and the miscreants are brought to book by our govt. before the entire world to see. We should also take this opportunity to join hands with all nations in the fight against terrorism and put an end to it such that everbody can live in peace and harmony again........
