Nausea after Mumbai terror attacks.

I live in Mumbai. Mumbai is not a boring place. Good, bad and ugly things keep happening here.
Somehow natural calamities, tourists and also politicians have great affection to this city. All journalists say, it is great Mumbai spirit etc, nothing like that. It is sheer pressure on Mumbai people to live day today life; they want to eat and sleep. If they sit and worry, they have no food that forces them to go to work in spite of no security what so ever. Terrorists struck today, TV channels scored over rest of the channels (Let me write some other day how some of the reputed English news channels were in the verge of yellow journalism or they were in and out of yellow journalism ). One journalist covering CST on the next day was telling, "CST has deserted look" and as his camera men focused on the platforms it was crowded not as usual but definitely not deserted!!!!!!!!!!!!. Journalists did a great job. That was of some comfort for the families struck inside the buildings, but surely they were giving live position of the commandos. Whenever they interviewed people on the street they expected all of them to show anger or frustration, if someone did not show, these journalists poked them, they just re-framed the sentence and said that person is very angry; but in reality he was not, or they focused on person who is crying, these journalists reduced their voice addressed him and said I understand your tragedy we are with you, let me ask one last question - but person across you can’t even speak. One famous journalist is asking a CEO of a company, how you felt when you saw your children at home after the ordeal, he said it can’t be described in words, only parenthood understands it; but it was in very blunt tone. Even when we go out for few hours to market and when you come back and see children it is a happy occasion,,,,,,,,, journalist must have expected on these lines “I felt like I back from hell, my son face was radiant, I cried like child, I held him close to my heart” all these answers were expected. Even some of the websites were giving hourly updates. The terrorists having a Blackberry easily could assess the commando strength and strategy. They should have shown much more maturity and national responsibility when they broadcasted the news. When NSG chief briefed about attack, there was a cat and dog fight among journalists to get audio and video inputs. They were brave to cover the news but this may be to ensure an assured future in journalism (except few). I wish if they could do some investigative journalism so that help police to nab these outsiders. However, these news channels were much more sensitive than politicians.
Much more fearful thing is that, how many people are still at large. By the number of places attacked and amount of ammunition they carried defiantly point out many more people and local logistics. If someone wants to attack a place in neighboring city they need some support there, I just can’t walk into anyplace and shoot. What essentially means that in India we have enough people who can sell their country. As we just witnessed the series of arrests of the previous bomb attacks all were Indians. Some people don’t have gratitude that you are staying in a place, you are eating the food produced from the same place, and still you support someone else from outside. It is just like one of the panchatantra kata where one frog king did not like some of its people so it brought a snake from outside to eat them, but once those were eaten snake ate even the frog king. If some people feel marginalized they are at receiving end, it is not the way to solve that problem, that is bringing snake from outside- what it led to profiling of the people not on their caliber but on their religion. Two of them do 100 will suffer. I did not find a single MLA or MP in Mumbai who was setting up an email facility for foreign nationals, or food facilitates, or vehicles for relatives to move from hospital to hospital, or a photo footage of all dead bodies and made it available at one center where relatives could identify so that they can reduce trauma of walking to morgue……….

Instead of buying so expensive cars for these ministers, we should provide decent accommodation to the police, 40% of Mumbai police stay in slum. If their salary is 5 to 8 thousand rupees in Mumbai definitely they can’t afford a house to rent. The traffic police don’t have shades to stand. They are corrupt but for a reason.
This time more rich and less poor people died. But people died and both will cry. All have emotional turmoil. But poor can’t sit and cry long because for the next day food he has to worry, rich at least I hope they have money so they can rise their voice in a systematic and strong way against apathy. They can fund rallies and public discussions they can fund for RTI, and PILs to fight dirty politics. This they can fund anonymously because the same politicians are required for their business to run. These leaders (?) elected by the people ( but not for the people) are the one who issue permission to business, so they hold these rich at ransom in their own way. In some way these politicians are unimaginably great. They can resign with anger because his colleague in Mumbai is hitting his state people but did nothing to his own state. We also have some politicians who resign to save a foreign terrorist organization which has been labeled as terrorists by 30 countries and responsible for the assassination of an Indian prime minister!!. Chameleons
Forget the rest. What I can do about this. I need to get a voter ID here and vote. I am and I will be vigilant about my surroundings, I will be completely cooperating with all security checks without showing any annoyance, these are the few things I could do. I should be contributing to Indian defense fund, but I am afraid it won’t reach the target. At last I pray for those who are killed innocently in attack and also those who got killed resisting the attack.

Still I want to live in Mumbai!!!!!!!!! these petty terrorists can't make me run away from this city!!!!!
