Terrorist Episode

Even nature is gloomy for the past few days after the terrorist attack episode in Mumbai, India. Yes, episode. I say episode because I feel terrorist attacks are like our Television serials. Longest running serial for that matter. In TV, serials like Saas-bahu last for four to five years, some last a little more. Whereas our terrorist serial is running for the last 15 years or so, and is likely to still continue. When one attack episode is over, you become cautious. You anticipate more. You wait, nothing happens. And you wait…nothing, and you wait some more. Still nothing. You relax. You feel that this serial has now been taken off air. And when you least expect it, comes the next attack episode, more powerful, more damaging.

The only difference in TV serials and Terrorism serial is that in TV serials, we know when the next episode is going to be telecast, but in the terrorism serial, the next episode is a surprise package. It can happen in a day, in a week, in a month , or in a year – but happen it will. You can’t wish it off air.
