India vs Jihad Part 2

its been a long long time since my last post and I think whatever happened on november 26 till this moment is been a reaction to what i wrote earlier!I god damn cannot believe how a city like mumbai with all its security and all its strength can fall victim to a bunchful of wishful youngsters who came into the city using a dinghy of all things and got the bettere of the city brandishing their guns much like toy guns!

cut to 10 PM Zycus office (TT room)
 
here I was engaged in a fierce battle of wits and strength and of determination in the table tennis room of my office. I was playing a fiercely competitive game of TT when I got the first phone call from home.

Mom : there has been a blast around Taj and another blast at CST
Me : Dont worry I will be fine and will come home in the morning if you are gonna be worried
Mom : ok,come in the morning.reach home safe.
Me : alrighty mom.good nite

The match continued and i was in a crucial situation when my new htc p3350 rang again!

Me : yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ( a rather irritated one to anu)
Anu : bachi terrorists in mumbai! hostage situation at taj!
Me : dont worry it will be over by a couple of hours
Anu : lets hope so.you stay safe.good night
Me : yups.good nite.sweet dreams!

and I was looking at ashok my rival and realized he was on the phone as well! his folks telling him the samething.we continued the match and within a gap of 2 points my phone sounded the mental inside tune..oops i mean intel inside tune...my message alert tone.

I read

anu says : bachi fuck! 50 terrorists entered mumbai.hostage situation at Taj and Oberoi!scary na!

Me (while reading it) : holy fuck man ashok! hostage situation!

we left the Table tennis room immediately to reach the conference room.I logged on to NDTV.com to see their live coverage of this mega event or happening!

since then its been on! NDTV at office and NDTV at home.

cut back to the blog.

I had an off the past two days and the only thing I have done is being glued on to NDTV or for that matter the other news channels!

It is the voice of most indians and mine alike! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! How long can we keep saying lets testify the spirit of mumbai and the spirit of india and rise out of this!

i think its become an over used cliche` : Spirit of Mumbai!

Its high time the politicians ( bloody selfish bastards) did something worthwhile and showed some leadership spirit on their part or a selflessness for the cause of the country!I think the whole political game is been overplayed and it is affecting the peace of the people!

The question that keeps coming to my mind is where was prathibha patil our new unqualified useless president??Not one public statement throughout this mayhem!now is this the only reason why we elect a president? or for that matter even our PM who seems to be a robot or even better a puppet at the hands of an italian lady!I think he eats thinks and does only what the italian lady says!this is politics of sorts!

I heard the PM's speech post during the mayhem and it was anything but inspiring or anything but words of courage from the leader of a nation!

Had the politicians invested more money on our intelligences rather than their own Z class security;this mayhem would have been avoided! I dont understand how can intelligence of a nation fail so badly!god damn it! we wouldnt let a bloody cockroach or a lizard enter our houses and we let these filthy terrorists this blood sucking blood thirsty assholes enter our nation so easily and to wreck one of our proudest possessions the TAJ!

Another thing which hit me like an arrow was maharashtra's beloved Mr Thackeray! Where was he or should I ask where were they? both the senior and junior thackeray? Not a single statement issued in support of their much beloved mumbaikar or marathi manoos? This incident has truly showed whose got the balls to truly stand up for the city and who hasn't!

I must say I have a word of appreciation for the terrorists though.Not for what they did but with the determination and planning they did it with!Only if we as a nation could show such determination and planning,we can outdo such ravaging attacks on the hearts of our people and the country!

Last but not the least
3 cheers and my salute to the martyrs who lost their lives.The Martyrs are not only the jawans,the cops or the RAF personnel who died in battle but also the taj employees who laid down their lives to save their guests truly embolizing the phrase " athithi devo bhavah"
