I am still comprehending what happened last night. How can some people just barge in and start shooting? How can my country keep getting attacked time and again? How?
So what do I do now? Do I just blog and let it be at that to express my disbelief? Do I debate with friends till death about who is to blame? Do I raise a tirade against those involved? What?
In the past year we have faced atleast 6-7 terror attacks and what do we do? Blog, write articles, rant, and wait for the next one. In the mean time this is slowly turning into a country that cannot save its own.
We are becoming adept at playing the blame game. But how do we stop this. Clearly our intelligence needs an audit. Our politicians should not be elected, given their proclivity for speeches that slam the occurrence and disregard towards any action to be taken on that front.
Vote everyone says. But who do I cast my vote for? Some individual who distributes sweetmeats equivalent to his weight or someone who distributes liquor to induce votes? These are our leaders who will choose the right path for us.
When the system is flawed from the very base, then should we really blame those who find the loopholes? They have a cause and they are fighting for it by whatever means. But we are the ones who are getting killed with no one to cover our asses. So should we question them or the ones we look up to, to protect us?
Every time I hear news like this, I call my circle with trepidation. So far I have found relief. I am scared that the next time I wont. Because I am certain there will be a next time. As certain as I am that this was not the India I grew up in and call my motherland.
