Mumbai Mayhem

Mumbai - Oh god !! Not Again...
It was painful to watch what all happened in mumbai.
And, btw i just want to understand where is Raj thackrey these days ?
He keeps shouting for the cause of marathi manoos, maharashtra, mumbai and what not ?
Why did he not rushed his MNS team to save/rescue those who were caught. Or his team could have helped in some other way if not doing the commando job. His team could have taken care of family members of those who were killed or provided help to the families of commandos who were killed.
Ooooooh !! sorry - I misunderstood the entire stuff. His team is only capable of terrorising the innocent common people who are either north indians or some other people who want to live a peaceful life in mumbai.
Mr Thackrey - If you want to terrorise somebody, pls go and terrorise LeT, Al Quaida, Dawood Ibrahim, Osama, Pakistan......... We will be grateful.

OK - Now i will stop discussing Raj Thackrey.

I have mentioned in my earlier posts also that its a sheer lack of political will that we have to face such shameful events. Because we allow the culprits of previous blasts to live, its our punishment to face such things again and again.
Why is Afzal stil alive ? So that, one fine day some terrorists will hijack a plane with 300 indians - take it to karachi/kandhar - kill 15 of our citizens and ask the indian govt to release Afzal.
Will the Home ministry answer this ?

Oh - The home minister has resigned. Its a symbolic depiction of accepting non-performance. But, the non-performance was of the entire govt - not just home minister. Will his resignation bring back the lives of those dead ? Can his resignation fill the vaccum in lives of families of those dead ? No. Not at all.

But that RK Laxman's poor common man continues paying taxes (on time) to the irresponsible govt.

Further, there were more deaths in Delhi/Ahemdabad/Jaipur blasts than what happened in 5 star hotels in Mumbai. When Home Minister did not resign the last time then why only now ?
Why is there a lot of extra hue and cry this time then last time ? Probably because this time a lot of influential and socially upward 5 star crowd was attacked.
In this country a common man is a common man - Who cares ?
But if there are VIPs suffering, then things move.
Thanks to the terrorist for not attacking the local markets and other crowded places but choosing 5 star hotels. Atleast things will move now.
Why did they not target Hyatt, Marriott, other 5 star hotels and posh colonies ?
Why did they not target Lalu, Mulayam, Mayawati, Raj Thackrey and other such so-called leaders ? This country could have got an opportunity to have new leadership.

May be we were not lucky enough..

I received a sms last night.

"Do not worry about those who have come through boats. Our forces can defeat them.

But worry about those who have come through votes. They are the Real Enemies."

I wish this country will become golden bird again and we all will live peacefully.

Cheers

The Indian Story

An Old Story:
==========
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs &
dances & plays the
summer away.

Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The
Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Indian Version:
===========
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs &
dances & plays the
summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press
conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be
warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the
shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home
with a table filled
with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can
this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the
Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other
Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during
winter .

Mayawati states this as `injustice' done on
Minorities.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the
Indian Government for
not upholding the fundamental rights of the
Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking
support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting
Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for
non-compliance) .

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for
' Bengal Bandh' in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants
from working hard
in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty
among Ants and
Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers
on all Indian Railway
Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the '
Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from
the beginning of the
winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for
Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and
having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated
by the Government
and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony
covered by NDTV.


Arundhati Roy calls it ' A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.

CPM calls it the ' Revolutionary Resurgence of the
Downtrodden '

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN
General Assembly.

Many years later.....

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a
multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley ,

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite
reservation somewhere
in India ,

...AND




As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and
feeding the
grasshoppers,
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..India is still a developing country !!!
