As the war on Mumbai goes on,my blogging instincts have managed to make a comeback.
Refraining from any jingoism or "a certain community" bashing.I will rather talk bout people's behaviour after terror attack.The media always highlights about the "spirit of mumbai" but Mumbai hasn't been the only city been affected by terrorism.Delhi,Jaipur,Ahmedebad and the list goes on.Unlike other cities,Mumbai has local trains which are filled up without fail,terror no terror and that automatically feeds the CNN IBNS,NDTVS of the world,the masters at this game.
They talk about how the city "gets back on tracks".(Pun intended)So what message do the empty local trains convey this time around??..You needn't be Barkha Dutt to decipher this--"The city's way of expressing their commiserations for the victims".Bullshit.They are just scared!!
I have no malice towards Mumbai or its people.My rants are specifically targeted towards media of our country who thrive and as some cynic would say "look forward to" such attacks. It is as horrific as the attack,if not more to see buffoons(sorry Javed Bhai) like these two talk about the so called "spirit of mumbai".Moreover,we can only talk about spirit if there is an unanimity in people's
behaviour post attack.
Some people say that they have become tolerant and have replused fear by instilling courage.Some say that terrorism has become part of our lives.Some just dont care and carry on with their mundane office work.There are some who say "Isme kya hai yeh to roj ka hai" and there are some who want the opportuniy to exhibit their latent Sunny Deol like abilities:

and there is someone like me who makes his baggage even more heavy.
Not to forget certain "Bandgala Patil" who fixes his next Appointment with the tailor.

we live in a world which needs an explanation and analysis for everything for e.g.. why did a particular terrorist use one toilet and not the other 399 in the hotel.
my prediction of events to come.
world leaders condemning the acts. speeches on co-ordinated tackling of terrorism( I still donno what the fuck that means!). random people getting chargesheeted. Random NGOs taking on streets condemning police over the random chargesheeting.
in the end we fuckin donno who is innocent, who is fraud, who is guilty. Till another day when they feel
"bhai jaan... bore ho raha hain... ek do bomb phekte hain kya?"
nice timing for a new post! :) i really hope shivraj becomes a tailor himself. he is a useless bastard.
we need advani and POTA.
Very well written Mr Sumukh :)
I guess it's time for each n every one of us to start acting like 'Naseeruddin Shah' ;)
