Nov 26, 2008 is a date that'll go down in history as the day when a city was taken hostage. A day of how a handful of young men (no more than 26-27 probably) leave aside all sanity, and decide to bomb places around downtown Bombay for no reason. Blood everywhere. People running scared. Mayhem. 

Purpose solved? Yes? If yes, then whose purpose is solved? And how? Is there sudden peace everywhere? Have apologies been tendered and lost lives got back? Have the Israelis and Palestenians made peace? Bush says sorry? Al-Qaeda boss retracts his statements of Jehad and condemns voilence? Kandahar forgotten? Dec 5 1992 forgotten? Advani repents? Guantanamo Bay closed? Mothers who lost their sons and daughters to suicide bombs, other forms of terrorist attacks, got them back? If all this is long shot, then at least has the path for any of the above taken?

NO.

So purpose solved? No? Okay. If no, then when will it? And now, if this is the way to achieve something, somebody explain why they think firing at innocent people at a railway station in random will begin to achieve what their leader envisions for them. Pray tell in what way this kind of behaviour gets any message across. 100 killed, 186 injured. Explain each one. 

Terrorists have been rounding up people with British and American passports, and Israeli people hostages. Point being? You think war since years will cease once you've taken them as hostages? Terrorists call themselves from a group called Deccan Mujahideen. Mujahideen! Log to apne aap ko aise hi mujahideen bolte hai. As if people dying from natural causes, suicide, diseases, accidental deaths wasn't enough that we have these men trying to kill? Who are these men anyway? I cringe, I cry when I look at the news reports. Have these people got any sense of what is compassion, mercy, peace, praying, faith. Or even having fun like watching movies, falling in love, marrying someone, bunking classes and go to watch movies, play cards, take a vacation, have a family meal together - anything?! Bloody anything at all? GUNS is all they understand. No purpose in life. No meaning to the life they are living. All means to try and show some balls. Avenge for revenge for something thats happening, the root for which is probably their predecessor terrorists like themselves. 

The Kandahar incident is a major contributor to this. If we hadn't released Mullah Omar (calls himself a Mullah!), he wouldn't have instigated. I believe that Osama talks and also provides money for ammunition, and this Omar breathes fire in people by way of his talks. No behind are Advani and Praveen Togadia. Saala saare fasaad ki jad ye hai aur bhugatna kisko padta hai? 

Check this picture. The kid is not even 3 probably. She's got bloodstains all over her. Who's she? Which religion does she belong to? The watch on the policeman's wrist says 11.10 PM.  The kid should've been asleep dreaming of fairys and playground and toys dammit! Not be in a hospital!

I see that Army, NSG Commandos, and RAF are in Oberoi and I hope all terrorists are killed - regardless of who they are, and which religion they belong to. I don't care if they are only rounding up non-Indians. It doesn't matter. An iron hand is needed. 

My prayers are with ATS chief Karkare's family, and all of the families who've lost their dear ones. Its as much a loss as everyone's as theirs, and may God give them strength to cope with a grave situation like this. May peace, happiness and sanity return to this world. AMEN.
