Mumbai at war.... yet again!!

Three years and we're still the same.... For those who lived out the 26\7 story three years back, another reminder at how vulnerable we are to deal with crisis......

I would not want to blame the operational machinery, the Police, the Army, the NSG.... they're doing their job, they're doing it superbly and that's the best they can do.

But a few questions remain unanswered:

  • Do we need a more serious reason to put a solid crisis management infrastructure into place? A UFO Alien attack maybe??
  • Are we equipped to deal with terror attacks, now that we've been through the entire gamut of blasts, propoganda riots and now armed assault?
  • Does the common man know how to deal with the situations as they arise or are we content watching the story unfold on the TV?
My prayers go out to the families of those who lost their lives in this horrible incident. This is all I can do now, but I vow that I will influence change from now on!! Enough of spectatorship!!!


And finally, Mr Raj Thakeray and his "Mard Marathi" MNS brigade, you can come out from your hiding holes now. There are poor North Indians to pick on. Hardcore terrorists are way out of your league, you cake cutting chickens!!
