Hurts Like Hell

A two year old Israeli boy, Moshe Holtzberg, lost his parents in the recent attack. Reading this news online made me so damn sick in the stomach.

How can the Indian authorities even manage to go home and see their own children, when they have done this to Baby Moshe? As my friend Pradeep rightly put it, it is the self greed of these politicians that has made this country so poor today. Unrelenting self-attention and continuous ignorance to righteous governance has bought us to see these hurtful days.

Today, no Mumbaikar is safe. Walking on the road, at the bus station, in a train, at Gateway of India, or even in your local cafe, nothing is a safe haven.

I also happened to follow this crappy news item by CNN-IBN regarding India keeping all options open as a follow up to the attack. Dear editor, are you a foreign national or you just want to spice up the news and shoot up your TRP rating. India cannot and will never attack any country. Let the other country kill a million people or take away acres of land, we will never retaliate. This is in our INDIAN DNA. We are bullies, who are royally raped by all our neighbouring nations, day in and day out.

Of course, I do praise the quick response that politicians and their party members take when a few hundred jobs are not given to Marathi Manoos(proved incorrect as per a survey) or say when a legally transferred piece of land is made a national issue just because of a personal vendetta of a single party/person(read Mamta Banerjee). So as it has been happening for the past few years, not a single bullet will be fired, not a single politician will do anything meaningful other than try and gain political mileage out this incident.

A week from now, we all would have forgotten about this incident, but Baby Moshe will live life as an orphan who lost his parents on our soil and their blood is on our hands. We all are responsible for what happened, whether you like it or not!

Be safe, kill a terrorist!
