What now?

The war with terrorists is over. One captured alive and nine dead, or so they say.
Now what? Now nothing!

The sentiment of our politicians is clear from the utterances of our beloved leader R.R. Patil to the effect that such small incidents happen in big cities. How cool. Somebody should explain to Mr.Patil in the language he understands that it was an invasion, not just an incident. Hundreds of people don’t lose their lives in incidents. But it was an incident to our politicians – it didn’t happen in their front or back yards. They are surrounded by security at our expense. Even after paying heavy taxes, you don’t buy your security. You buy theirs. The only response from our Government is to warn terrorists and our enemy countries that they should not try our patience. Warning? They laugh at us, make mockery of our warnings and prepare for the next attack.

It is not patience-It is cowardice, it is lack of political will, it is politics of vote, it is a shame on the nation.

What now? Now nothing!

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.
