More than the audacity of the terrorists who attacked Mumbai last week, it is the callousness of the people surrounding me, that irritates me like hell.

Like,
when I and a few of my friends came back from Gateway, after protesting, one of them asked me if I think this kind of protest will work. Don't you think most of the people there were more of a show-off? Everything will be forgotten, he quipped.

Why did you go then, if you were not sure?Can't you at least hope? I shouted at him. I said a lot of other things which I cannot write but, I stand anguished, period.

And like,
when in an open discussion at my workplace, regarding areas of improvement, I pointed out that it was important for every organization to ensure safety of employees and train them against terror attack and fire, I was snubbed aside, and was told that the terror situation in the world has become so gross that the onus lies on an individual to decide what to do in case of such a mishap.
I stand pained by this candid behavior, period.

How things would have been if those commandos had acted individually?
Well, what can I say...

  1. HOPE seems to be an hopeless word in this country. I guess your friend is right. Mumbai may remember it for ages to come but I already see apathy growing in other cities. Such a hopeless affair this..:(
