The not so silent reflections

I was at my office, where in the name of an internship, I have been rather passing time to the extent that i can feel time coming back to where it started, when I, like any other sincere intern switched to google mode.. Google news being my first stop.. and thats when my heart went pounding...
Seven blasts rock Bombay..
No.. this post aint abt the blasts.. if you are looking for that, I am sure there a lot of news sites all around, happy to satisfy ur hunger to the galore.
Mumbai will not shake..The never-say-die attitude of Mumbai will triumph.. thats what all and sundry had to say..Well.. does Mumbai have a choice.. It cant shake, lest the world come to a halt. But my arguement is.. if the world knows Mumbai wont succumb to such cowardly acts, why do those asses plant these bombs in our great city?? Is it just to create terror and bring in fear?? Looks more like a plausible answer.. and how do we treat these menaces.. Hamurabi has the answer.. a tooth for a tooth.. Fear for fear... Our country needs to instill fear in the minds of these perpetrators.. cowards that they are anyway. And how do we do that... Look at Israel and the answer unfurls smoothly.. Anybody whos seen the movie munich can pretty much visualise how the israelis nabbed the killers.. we need something of that sort.. SOmething by which these mercenaries, veiled by cowardice, shall tremble at the very thought.. No.. this is not violence. This is just a big nation warning its fiends.. "Dont mess with us"..

And what is most saddening is when the GOI takes a soft stand on these issues, as is going to happen this time too.. Commissions will be set up, which should rather be omissions in the history of this great country. But on the bright side, the average Mumbaikar did rise up to the event.. Ye world ... heed this.. Mumbai might be the rudest city..yet its the most humanest too.. Contradictory?? Aint life just full of contradictions?? Kudos to the Mumbaiwalas who showed who is boss when it mattered the most!!!!!

And yeah.. the Mumbai Bloggers too swung into action soon enough.. Check out mumbaihelp.blogspot.com for traffic updates, nearest shelter and hospitals.. Great thought guys ...
