July 13 2011. Mumbai faced another violent attack. A serial bomb explosions. Three in specific.
Killing several and several more were left injured. Investigations Allegations Suspicions clarification its all on..
Politicians, activists, social workers all condemned the incident. Summing up, they, praise the non stopping Mumbai and its Resilience! Some are resilient by choice and some, on the other hand, by force. And as I see, Mumbai (or for that matter
India) falls in the latter category.
Fundamentally, the resilience we talk about is the power of emerging back strong after a devastation. But in this case, it is the repeated nature of attacks that has made us adept to be resilient. In simplified terms, if there has been a destruction, lives have been lost, people injured, So the injured one would get a treatment and try to get back to work at the earliest despite having the greatest sentiment and empathy to the lost souls. A Middle class, working, responsible man cannot afford to be impracticly sentimental!
Later while investigating the NIA quits on grounds of non co-operation by the local authorities and agencies.
Well it couldnt have been a greater of an irony that the NIA quits the task which was solely formed to investigate the terror attacks such as this one.
But, on a personal level I dont want the agencies to come out with any specific results and accuse any terror organisation.
Maybe thats because I have lost (not exactly) my faith in the trials and execution procedures of the judiciary system.
26/11 Kasab.. December 13 2002 Afzal Guru..
(and I had a raised eye brow when I found that Rs.8.5 lac is the daily cost of keeping Kasab safe and secure for a "fair trial")
And then we have our "elected represenatatives" speak their wisdom.
कोई बात नहीं नेता जी पहले गैर जिम्मेदाराना बयान दे दो फिर लोकतंत्र की दुहाई दे देना, सीट तो आपकी पक्की ही है!
Anyways, there is another quickie to follow that amazed me.
The mess canteen at the Parliament of India does not have coldrinks on its menu!
Take a moment to guess why.. the Pesticide thing! Remember that. It was true.
The coldrinks have been found strikingly high on pesticide contents in it.
Wise, the lot of people who serve as our representative. Safety First Scams Second!
Interesting breed, Politicians!
Enough of my unproductive patriotsim for now.
On a better day.
Have fun!
Take care!
