"Thank God, it's over," began Prannoy Roy of NDTV this morning. Thank God, indeed! It takes a situation like this to finally understand how feeble everything around is and how much we take life for granted.
I still can't get over the events of the past three days. My sentiments echoes the sentiments of the nation. How many innocent lives have to be snuffed out before the politicians will leave petty politics alone and unite to make a positive difference? How can the politicians even look at themselves in the mirror? How can politicians who are responsible for corruption and "games of power" live with themselves knowing that their actions have been responsible for the death of so many lives? How can politicians sing the National Anthem?
Enough is enough! Everything that we know about politics is irrelevant today. I don't care. I want answers.
The news channel said, "If ever there was a watershed, its now." The common man cannot be taken for granted for too long. Politics which should have been synonymous with good governance is now a curse word. Corruption amongst politicians and government officials is a way of life. Security almost non-existent. "Value for life" is a term that is a joke.
How much blood has to be spilt before man becomes man again? The blood of the innocents have reddened the palms of every politician in India afresh. The blood cries for justice.
NO, it's not over yet...

True, the key is to have the politicians rise above their electoral 'vote for us, we are the ones' attitude, to fight terrorism unitedly and work towards providing us 'ordinary' citizens a more secure lives. The prevalent 'chalta hai' attitude needs to be done away with to a 'this wont do, enough is enough' attitude. They need to come out of their cocoons and z-class security arrangements, to bring security to the level of every individual of the country!
U have echoed sentiments of everyone. Indian forces did the best of their ability... Needless to say that they were faced with opponents who were as skilled as soldiers and also with ammo of more than 20 days... But, we shud surely pick a cue from Isrealis and get going....
I agree! Well written!
