How Dare They!!!

Wats been going on in r beloved city is utter rubbish ..... What the hell are they doin and how dare they!!! This cannot be just taken with a pinch of salt and forgotten so easily....

Often Mumbai, the city that never sleeps is said to be a very forgiving city that moves on in life come what may .... Be it any kind of terrorist attacks ... train blasts or serial blasts or shoots round the city .... Be it by outsiders, neighbours or insiders ... Be it on the name of religion or revenge or helping locals or destruction and bringing us down .... the city has always taken it lightly .... People are often seen putting it all in their past and treading along with their lives ... Back to work on the same ol routine the next day, the next hour, the next minute .....

But is this city really that forgiving??? Or people are just forced to put up with this shit! People are here in this dream city from everywhere in the country ... to build the castles in their dreams for real ... to make a success story ... to make a living ... How can you expect them to just stay home over something that went wrong somewhere due to some fools .... They have to report to work ... "papi pet ka savaal hai" they have to earn .... N this face of majboori has been known as the face of courage!

But this time all was left far behind .... A bunch of "terrorists" come to the city through waterways, bagged with ammunition enough to last for over 48 hours! Hundreds of innocent dead! My first question is .... how do they get so much of arms and ammunition? Yes there no checkin in the hotels but they definitely got it from somewhere... is there no checking anywhere ... at any entry point? How were they not caught? They didnt fire all the personnelle that came in their way - the media would definitely not have let them get away with this silently and we would have got to know.... So the next pointer ... corruption? But at which level and how many?? Again not completely possible ... So how the hell did they get so much of arms in .... They must have surely planned this over a long time with good amount of training and dry-runs in advance ....

We cannot measure how much we have lost .... The best of the police force, intelligence, the best of the staff of our best hotels ... One of the most beautiful structures in Mumbai, the heritage Taj Hotel has burnt over and over in countless blasts.... The elite, rich and tops in the Taj n Oberoi at that time ...

This is high time the government put things in place rather than money in their pockets. We need a secure city to live in. We need the peace of mind to work towards progress. How long can we just forgive and forget? No! No more!

Absolutely agree with you... the system has turned rotten... and with no one to take responsibility.. things get shoved under the carpet.

It's very true, the helplessness of people is mistakenly labeled as "valour".Nobody will have the heart to "report to work" if it's a personal tragedy!]

I guess, there's an answer here. Nobody thinks of what happened to Mumbai as a personal tragedy; hence the "chalta hai" syndrome.

Good candid post Preeti....of the kind,I am sure, that will make a lot of people think.
