Breached Wall: UNDER CONSTRUCTION


Just out of the Blue, in a response to one of the earlier blog I had written about a breaching wall, I'm writing a epilogue to earlier article. As per say the article has no relevance to any real story, but just is a figment of my imagination.

Well no dismantled piece of edifice leaves a happy tale to finish,
and usually leaves the inmates with a sore heart of losing his
valuable possession. A wall that has been breached hoping someone will
come to reside there permanently has come as a serious intimidation to
me, not knowing that someone who came so soon is also leaving back
from the same breached door.

Heart as you know is a single seat room, where there is place only
for one to sit and drive the body. Until you are alone it's your
conscience who drives your decision and life. But then there someone
else later who takes that place and steadies your journey of life.
Well I guess I was confident that few months had really given
me the free pass to your life. Not knowing that the place has been
occupied by someone else some time ago. How could I claim for
a spot there, when the seat is already reserved for someone else.

Though I haven't come to terms with myself and I hope I might soon
be able to reconstruct the cracked walls. But as said by someone, "Failure is all about acknowledging that you have lost". I still believe Im in contention for the seat. For it's my firm belief that decision you have made is more of prejudice than bare reality. Well I hope when you leave the portals of my vision you really feel the
lacuna in your heart and realize that you have missed a major part of your heart back with me and left for your destination ahead in your life. And I pray that these wonderful memories just doesn't becomes stock of grey cell in your upper compartment.

Finally I would end with the fact that I'm starting to rebuild this wall, but leaving a small aperture open just for you which will ever wait for you to occupy the seat for whom I had initially kept it empty.

INDIA EXPOSED.


Post 26/11 attack has exposed India's weakness & inability to anticipate terror strike of such an large scale conspired by the foreign elements on the Indian soil. Foreign elements has created havoc in the country time and again that has been completely forgotten or ignored. In fact over the last few years there was surprisingly attack in almost 15 major cities around the country. Amidst all the terror strike committed on Indian soil, the one that occurred at Mumbai was the most heinous and dreadful. It was an attack that had been well planned and people trained like combats for the maximum damage and casualty. But at this juncture the efforts of our Policemen, NSG commando's are worthy of praise for the courage taken in order to eliminate the terrorist from the Hotels ensuring that as minimum of hostages were lost.
The last several years has been a witness to the rise of Extremist terrorism seen in our soil for the very first time. Surprisingly the enemy we were tackling for the last few decades just at the borders are no more a threat than the ones seen attacking us at the heart of the country. The account of lost lives & damaged infrastructure has been monumental arising from terrorist strike across the country. But whats surprises me is the astronomical failure of the government in repeatedly avoiding occurrence of such a attacks on the society.
The Joker in the movie The Dark Knight comments, When citizens are hurt by criminals, there isn't much fear in the society, where in if a high profile individual is targeted the society is inflated with tension. Imagine the similar type of response if had been possible after any bomb attacks that had been carried out earlier I guessed there would have been every possibility the society & the government would have taken more proactive steps.
Apart from planned training, brainwashing, religious intolerance, unprofessional, non committed, careless and irresponsible bureaucrats & politicians are responsible for the messy situation the country has landed into. The immediate consequence could be soon seen by rolling heads in the government incapable of handling the position they represented. So were the long list of high profile ministers letting lose & cheap words unworthy of there caliber and position, invoking the wrath of people across the country. Colossal failure of the country was exposed when a bunch of 10 armed people took the country at ransom for more than 60 hours. The collective failure of every unit was easily witnessed during the horrendous event. The Media had it own share of blame to carry which covered the interviews of the elite suffered but neglected the poor traveling at the other heritage center CST. Aam Aadmi voice was lost in oblivion where in the elite were exclusively covered even at their homes. The news channel and its anchors were busy showing the charred tables & broken crockery at the Hotels. While others were showcasing the live actions taken by the NSG commandos, forgetting that the greatest disaster that occurred at Munich 1972 Olympics was primarily due to live telecast of armed action by snipers that were viewed by the terrorist and who in turn finally killed the 11 athletes.
The dastardly attack has completely exposed our country inability to take proactive decision on preventing of any such future possible attack. Desperate situation doesn't require desperate response. Polarized society will only end up weakening the momentum require to solve the crisis. One thing for sure for me is that series of such attack has clearly shown us all of that, We might be a Soft Individuals, But we have also become a Soft Target.
