29/10, 13/02, 7/12, 26/11 and now 07/09

             My condolences to Delhi victims and there families.

            So, the cycle starts again…Blast…Victims…Public agony…Statements denouncing blasts by both ruling and opposing parties…Suspect sketches…Governments promise to increase security…Potential suspect in custody…Bollywood condemns attack…Media headlines…Time lapse…Blast!! And it starts all over again.

            It’s a pity; just a fortnight ago we were celebrating the ‘victory’ (if we may) over political corruption. Terrorism is the only thing that is more dangerous then corruption. None of us blessed souls could even imagine the loss that the victim’s families suffered, no matter how pretty words we use to describe our anger and sympathy. On the national front I sincerely hope that India doesn’t create a new National security agency, for the one from 26/11/08 is still not ready yet.

            So what do we take from this; another blunder from the security forces? Is this the sign of an emerging power? We can’t safeguard our capital’s judicial courts, let alone securing common citizens. Or is this one of the ‘rare’ lapses that the intelligence agencies had ‘coz we don’t know from how many threats they save India from!! again I am not defending them, but just giving them the benefit of doubt and taking into consideration there genuine efforts .

            All the above dates are colored with blood of innocent victims of terrorism. Given the current situation the only question arising in my mind is what will be the next date? I don’t have much to say except to wish that terrorist incidence doesn’t become a ‘way of life’ for Indians.
