Enough!

Another attack. Another round of chaos. Another day of doom on the city's calendar.


Some more lives lost. Some more injured. Some more families devastated. Some more futures wiped out.

Failure of law. Failure of order. Failure of politics. Failure of intel teams and 'special' squads. Failure of emergency services. Failure to put a gun to their heads and just shoot the bastards responsible.

Heroes arising yet again from within the common man. The common man who's watched this happen so many times he knows the drill better than the official ops teams. The common man who weeps for his losses, picks up the pieces and goes about rebuilding his life. Just like he did the last time around.

Salutes will be given to the spirit of Mumbai. The spirit of India. The spirit of the common man. That’s all we get left with in the end - salutes and sympathies - the only alternative to an actual solution.


So buck up Mumbai...rebuild what you've lost and you'll surely earn those salutes from the top brass.


Unless....you're actually fed up enough to want to put an end to this. To be able to go out of your house and know for sure that you and your loved ones will be safe. To look around at the city that's been your home and not hurt at the amount of hits and losses it takes...year after year...time after time.

Is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening again? Probably not. But can we atleast try to find a proactive solution instead of a reactive one? Can we wake up from the stupor induced by hunger fasts and hidden temple gold and who's-dating-whom to focus on the real issues faced by our country? Hasn't enough innocence been lost already? When will it finally be enough to satisfy the sadistic thirst of terrorism?
