A note to all..

Two days of horror. Two days of disaster. Two days that have never been witnessed before. And the fight goes on. News channels all over the world have been covering the events. Shock and disbelief prevails.

The recent "WAR" on mumbai is revolting and unimaginable. It is unimaginable that people would have the will and determination to take lives for no reason. Who in their right minds would do this!? Why do people do these things in the name of religion?! Does any of this make any sense? NO!

Our country has been subject to a number of these attacks. Over the past decade, countless attacks, big and small, have taken place. But has anything concrete been done? I think not. But that's my opinion. Our government has been complacent and ignorant of things for too long. Elections bring out their "best"(which isn't much) and the rest of the time they make a mockery of democracy. What have they done to make sure we are safe in our own country? When can we step out of our houses without having to fear for our lives? Countless innocent people have lost their lives for no rhyme or reason.

How many times must we face another 26/11 before something's done? Questions that our government must start answering. As a country we must stand up for our rights. We vote these politicians to power(unfortunately) and it's time we get what we deserve. If we don't do something, who will? Our politicians??? HAH.. the same people who need 10 billion cars in their convoywhen they travel from one point to another, while the rest of the country suffers from petrol shortage? The same people who use communalism to face such situations? The same people who consume mindless amount of electricity for their damn "rallies" when are facing our biggest power crisis??

At a time like this we as people must stand united against the ugly face of terror.. it looks like our higher officials can't discard their ridiculously archaic views, put aside their differences and board a damn plane together, just to give some hope to the country. We MUST wake up! WAKE UP and stand up against these people. Our country can do it..together! Put aside our differences and make a statement-"We are not politicians".

At times our people act like absolute morons, standing behind anchors, waving and staring at times like this. God forbid a stray bullet hits one of them, who will they blame?! We can do our bit to help...Stay out of the way of the security forces. They know what they are doing. They are highly experienced and no one, I repeat, NO ONE, has the right to question their actions. If it weren't for these brave souls, utter choas would have reigned!

I salute the security forces who have been involved in this long battle and pray for the families who have lost their loved ones or are waiting to hear from them.
Hats off to our security forces. They are the true saviours. They are the true heroes. My condolences and prayers are with the families.
