A Day After...

Just visited Thane Station.. For blood donation at the camp setup there. Camp is closed, as the requirement for the blood is currently fulfilled. Good to hear that. Mumbaikars came heavily to donate blood. Again the much avowed Mumbaikars' spirit showed its strength.

Thane station is showing no signs of the tragedy. Ofcourse, it was not the station which was bombed but still there is nothing wrong if anybody expects the smell of tragedy in the air. Interestingly, you may find situation different. It looked like any other day in mumbai. typical hustle-bustle, train announcements, people trying to board the trains. As if nothing has happened. This is not the first time mumbai is bahaving this way. Infact, mumbai behaves the same way everytime. Everytime terrorists strike, we condemn the attack strongly, ordinary mumabikars come forward to help victims & then nect morning everything starts afresh.

But nobody asks any questions. Nobody gets on the road, nobody stops his/her own life. Mumbai only halts when politicians force 'Bandhs'. They will not come forward for agitations, protests, to ask questions. They will only get angry, curse the government & other agencies & next day they will return to their routine. And why should I blame them, I am one of them too, isn't it?

But should not this stop somewhere? Last night 28 cars were in & around sonia gandhi for security. What about our security? What about common man? Shall we keep suffering? Or should we come forward & launch protests, demand action in some sofisticated way? What do you say people?
