Mumbai!!!!!

So much has been and is written about the blast. History of blasts,which rocked Mumbai for last decade, has been traced, discussed, dissected and debated in papers, news channels, tea shops and blogs. I have never felt chills in my bones, not even while watching exorcist, the way I am feeling it now. Maybe it is also due to the chilly weather outside. But the chill I am feeling is not fear, it is outrage, anger and helplessness that my city, my country is ravaged time and again by outsiders who have no business coming here, causing mayhem, killing people and shattering the peace for some crap cause of theirs which is no way related to us. You cannot make our life hell
to go to heaven. If you want to achieve heaven, do good deeds.
This is the time for not regulations but for infrastructure like adequate training of police forces, central forces etc to equip them with skills to deal with terrorism swiftly. This is the time for the country to equip our forces with modern weapons and safety devices. This is the time for the country to use technology to defend proactively and not reactively. No point being called the greatest software nation in the world if we cannot safeguard our own house. This is the time for all of us not to depend on anyone outside of the nation to rise against terror but rise ourselves. This is the time to act and if needed retaliate in the same language. Stop taking advantage of our resilience and stop subjecting us to torture again and again. This is the time to say enough is enough.
