And then there was a silence punctuated by the keening wails of those mourning for their dead, there were tears, for the dead, of the dying and for those left behind, left alone to shoulder a life riddled with guilt and anger. The anger is not so much directed at those who did this, rather it is a kind of helpless rage at the fact that we are so vulnerable, so open to something so violent, so barbaric.
The Politicians go into damage control mode, proposals of a central body to tackle exactly this kind of mindless terror, although chalked out five years back, is yet to see realisation. Lobbies, parties and their self-serving policies never take into consideration the most vital part of this Nation, its teeming masses, ironic right? A democracy which is no longer for the people?
I am running out of words to say, even more ironical, It is time our leaders did something out of their skins,,please, we cannot be made to suffer your inadequacies, your impotence. We can no longer lay down our lives to pave the pathway of your political dreams.
We can no longer wait for you to save our lives, you suck at it.
Reams of print and hours of bytes cannot even begin to scratch the surface of what actually went on those few days, and neither can anyone start to define the extent of vulnerability and unpreparedness this situation found us in, I just hope next time around, God forbid, we are better prepared.
