Yet Again...

Some where in Bangalore:
Hey Dude look whats happening in Mumbai...
What really can happen... Raj Thackrey must have done something again... now I do not even want to listen of this stupid crap...
No Yaar... No Raj Thackrey...
Than what?? Do not tell me any stupid Filmy or "sensational" story, aired on Aaj tak or for that matter any news channel... they all are rubbish.. you know..
Uff!! Arrey... there is an attack at seven places in mumbai... including The Taj and The Oberoi...
So what... whats new???

Some where in Hyderabad:
What happened yesterday in Mumbai.. is still on..
Haan Yaar.. Its pretty amazing.. but who really cares...
No... No.. actually you are right... we have got used to this...
Exactly... It does not really matter now... it happened 1 month back... a month before that and.. every year 4 times.. since last 15 years...
I am 25... and we have seen/heard/listen terrorists attack since our childhood... I have got immune to this stuff... pretty ordinary... (smiling..)
Chal.. lets work.. I have to finish this stuff this week.. otherwise Alan will kill me...

Some where in Delhi:
Son.. avoid going to any public places this weekend... Its been 2 days and Gun battle is still on in mumbai... Delhi is not safe either...
Smiles... Smiles.... :)
What Abhay... why are you smiling... Listen to what I say... No Movies.. no malls.. no restaurants this weekends....
Arrey Mom... It is always safe to roam around when something like this has happened somewhere....
I did not get you...
Mom... its simple logic... Police is on high alert and all the security measures are taken only after such an attack... and after 1 week... you, me, police and everone forgets something as bad as this had happened.... Just wait till Saturday... it will be chill....

Some where in Baneras:
We should elect BJP in the coming Lok Sabha elections... all other parties have only made muslims an apple of there eyes... and look what they have done...
Arrey... why are you blaming muslims...
Why not?? These muslims have made our lives hell... they want to make there religion the numero uno.. and they are so radical in there intent...
C'mon man... do not start this crap once again... you cant blame all muslims..
why not after all.. they all are same...
Then that means.. we are also terrorists... aren't we...
Why.. why we...
Do not forget.. the latest Malegaon incidence...
Yes.. thats one of... and its still under trial... no complete evidence...
Okay.. and what about Gujrat?? What about Babri Masjid... we are not Saint either..
We did in retaliation... while they have there own ugly agends...
Thats what most stupid indians think...
Stupid????
Yes Stupid... you do not think that.. no common man.. be it Hindu or Muslim will go and fight... without provocation... there is no agenda of a common hindu or muslim behind attacks.. if there is an agenda of anyone... than it is of politicians... leaders and separatists....
Hah!!!... lets leave this discussion.

Some where in Mumbai:
Oh my god!!! what mayhem...
Ah!! Kill them... Kill them...
Yes Kill these Fidayeens....
I did not mean Kill fiadayeens... I meant kill the policticians...!!! Kill the leaders.. each and everyone of them....
Hey c'mon.. atleast make some sense... and calm down..
I am making sense my friend... you think.. terrorists are our problem.. no!!!.. they are not... our problem is our government.. be the state or center.. be the present or past... our problem is our opposition.... our problem.. lies in the very root of our democracy.. our problem is in our constitution...
Oh.. dude... think before you say...
We should be proud of our democracy... our constitution... and most of all being an Indian...
Yeah!! I am proud of this system which rotten till its roots... these political leaders who are nothing but hyppocratical machines of non sense... I am proud of this society which is suffering from indifference...
Ok Ok .... lets listen to what Rajdeep has to say... you please be quiet...

I am sure.. the reader of this blog if an Indian must have related to all of the above excerpts from not so "imanginative" conversations.
This is what we all are talking about in the previous 3-4 days.. since the mumbai was attacked...
Make no mistake... I am not trying to be conclusive here... but here I have just tried to put some of the Indian emotions here: Amazement, Indifference, Fear, Anger and Frustation.
Yes.. we have seen all these emotions and some more extreme reactions in last few days... What we have not really seen is the real self introspect....
We have seen is expectations but not real self inspection...
Please Please Please do that... do not put all the blames on politicians... we have to blame ourselves also (in fact mostly ourselves)... I know it is not pleasing... but.. introspect... and think why... why and How??

  1. true enough,
    But don't we forget our duties.
    Why don't we join politics
    Why don't we vote...

    Lets change the constitution a bit, lets mend some rules for our own good and then see how the world be it will be a better place to leave in.

  2. see when a software fails no everyone says to join a s/w industry..
    when a teacher is bad we dotn say lets be teacher..
    we all ahv ou own roles and responsibiliteis
    so solution is not to be a political leader ..
    its that everyone ..every citizen should be true to the self.. should do no small or big crime or fraud.. then we can reach to a place ...which we feel hypothetical ....
