"Live in fear, feel lucky if you survive n forget it?"



      Life might be same for us this morning, but for those who lost their loved ones or got crippled forever, it 'll neva be the same again. Another unfortunate serial blasts in Mumbai last evening at Zaveri Bazar, Kabutarkhana(Dadar West) and Opera House terrifying the hell outta everyone. 13/7 --> Just another dreadful day added to the list, isn't it?

      Though i have never been to Zaveri Bazaar and Opera House in specific, when i saw the visuals on tv i was alarmed and spooked. But Kabutarkhana is a place from where i have passed by so many times. I'd define it as such a lively place, pigeons al over the circle and the people are always on a hotfoot rushing towards their destination. And now when I think of it, i get so terrified. I literally have goosebumps all over my body. I was not even over with the 26/11 attack yet, everytime i have been to CST station after that the visuals of 26/11 flash over. It's dark n feary. I heard that kids from a school just passed by the lane earlier that day, little did any1 know that a happy rainy evening would turn into such a terrifying one in just a few minutes. Would any parent be really able to send his child to the school again today or ever? I can't even imagine being there at the site but when i think of people who have been thru it, it sends a chill down my spine.

      Sometimes I feel it has been so easy for the fuckin terrorists to accomplish their mission but what really frustrates me is the government. When you expect an answer for the things happening around, all they have to say is "Stay Calm". I mean what the fuck? How are we supposed to stay calm when there's terror all around. We need an answer don't tell us what to do please, it's high time now. What do you expect us to do, bounce back to normality like last 3 times in 5 years? I do salute the resilience and spirit of us mumbaikars but until when? This has to end someday. What? Are we supposed to tolerate this shit until we ourselves are a victim of it? It's like "Keep up the spirits until you yourself turn into a spirit."


      And this is what i remember the Mumbai Police Commissioner had to say on tv "...the accused would be punished." LOL. I'd like to ask him "Dude, who the fuck do you think you're kiddin'? Don't we see what's happening with Kasab. Bloody his security is more than what we get." 24 hrs after blasts PM says what some script writer gave him and what the people wanted to hear 1st hand(such a gay PM). Moreover, you see the shiv sainiks coming over and playing politics over the people's life. I mean what cowards man, the whole year you talk about your power and show it over the common man who can't retaliate back at you but what significant have you done regarding terrorism. Please go, Get some life.

      People say you mustn't blame the politicians at this point of time, I seriously second that but they literally force you to blame 'em, they leave you with no option. By listening all this sometimes I am so convinced - there is no hope. Nothing will change. It was, it is and it ll always be the same. "Live in fear, feel lucky if you survive the next time and forget it."


      I did feel happy for a moment when this morning I read in the newspaper that the citizens of mumbai had been tryin so hard to help the victims, may it be people on the site who took the injured to the hospitals or people giving in their address n phone numbers on twitter. It made me realize that whatever happens it is assured that the common man in mumbai still loves each other.


      I'm not a guy who can express his emotions out easily but every attack of this kind shakes me up and all I can do is pray for my city and feel helpless n frustrated like every other common man. All I 've to say about terrorism is, its something that is not human. I really won't like to comment anything on it, all I fear is the government taking the same inhuman path. I know only commenting or writing such articles won't help much but then where do I spit out my frustration?


      No, I'm not against politics or any politicians or a party. All I need is a peaceful secure life in my city. Whom to blame? Our Intelligence Agencies or the Terrorists or the government or our ownself? How to cease all this? Until when do we tolerate? I know life goes on...has and will. In the end all these questions rise after every such mishap and always go unanswered. But the wounds on our city will remain forever, we just get used to it.
