A NATION BLEEDS

Mumbai bleeds, yet again and so do we. We cry tears of blood, every time a dastardly act like this occurs. When do these tears stop? Where do they stop? Mumbai was made the target, yet again, of indiscriminate acts of mayhem and horror, and all that goes through my mind when I see the ghastly visuals and hear the stories of horror, is how unnecessary and seemingly meaningless all this is. Every time this occurs we get to hear of yet another new terror organisation, as if these acts of cowardly violence were some sort of macabre bill-board, on which they advertise their presence, and to what purpose? They are driven by Avarice, Greed and other Psychopathic tendencies, all this bull-shit about Ideologies is utter hogwash, even they know how hollow they sound when they claim themselves to be carrying out a direct decree from the Almighty, when they, along with everyone else know, for a fact that the Almighty is all about Forgiveness, Tolerance and Love. They are not the deluded fanatics they make themselves out to be, the only thing that drives them is greed and lust, lust for money, power and blood, sadistic tendencies that exist in all of us seem to be the most dominating character trait in these people.
Mumbai bleeds, it is the same wherever you cast your eyes, Assam is facing the same threats, on a daily basis, as is Kashmir, different names, different ways but all leading to death and disorder. I come from a small hill-town in Assam, where people left their houses unlocked when they went out, during my childhood days, there just was no need to bar your doors from anyone, there was no threat, now that same place sees at least a killing a day, and because we are far away from the Media eyes, my town bleeds too, albeit a little more silently, but the tears are the same everywhere, bloody and terrible.
The entire nation is being held to ransom by a group of petty people with petty dreams, but the price that we are paying is beyond measure, beyond compare.
At the end of all this I still cannot help but feel how entirely unnecessary this is, how can anything justify this horror? How can anyone see their own die in front of their eyes, in their arms,,and not know why this happened and who is to be blamed?
Mumbai bleeds, A Nation bleeds, we bleed.

This is really a national shame! Situations haven't improved a bit and things are going from bad to worse.Once again the Mumbai incident has showed our glaring loopholes, foolish and incompetent measures being taken to curb these acts and how very vulnerable we are in the face of disasters!
