Okay, guess it’s only right that I dedicate this post to the Mumbai terror attacks, where so many – of different nationalities, colours and religions – were killed just because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the militants struck.
But really, can’t these retards, like My Friend Nikhil (Oh, did that sound like a movie title?), calls them, get a life? Okay… if they can’t get one, could they at least stop taking others’? Things like these, I am sure, don’t help anybody – not them, not their supposed brethren, not their country, not their cause, and definitely not their non-existent consciences.
Okay, maybe they had real bad childhoods; maybe they were brainwashed into thinking that only they have the right to live; maybe they were dropped on their heads when they were little babies… but nothing can ever justify this. If they really want to turn violent, the pathetic f**ks, they should pick on somebody their own size – like, maybe, the Army. Not walk into crowded hotels and railway stations, chucking bombs around the place.
Right now, I don’t care if there’s no heaven… but I do hope there’s a hell. To house these guys for eternity, after their date with Mister Reaper.
It’s called fate – wrong time, wrong place. And if they were targeting UK and US nationals, how do you explain the carnage at the railway station? Then again, nothing makes much sense with this type of atrocity, and I see reports today – unconfirmed as yet – that some of the gunmen at least were British-born Pakistanis. Our little country’s not doing a bad job nurturing terrorists.

I am speechless! Angry, hurt, confused … but speechless!!
If they want thrill why don’t they jump off a cliff or something??!

fuck them man…honestly, i have not felt this sort of anger before… the previous bomb blasts made me feel sad and empathetic, but this, made me angry. I did try writing an angry post regarding this, but what i ended up writing did no justice to the real feeling of anger…….

the terrorists are products of our time. all our images, languages, metaphors represent violence. we dont pick up guns and fire indiscriminately but we do share with them our present, our history. after the initial flush of anger, perspective trickled in. and i realised that the mind is numbed by memories of other large-scale violent acts in reality and in fiction — sometimes the lines between them are so blurred

Wow Jimmy cheta, i’ve never seen such emotion from u.. But I understand ur anger man… Even I mean to write a post. I wish these damn boneheads would tell us what they want. They should be incarcerated, and their remains fed to the wild dogs.

terror = invoking fear
often used by a smaller/weaker group to gain something they lack, power.
my heart goes out the families of the victims and the people of India.

@ Chailey: Ah. But nobody can help nurture terrorists, I think. They seem to crawl out of the woodwork…
@ VC: Yeah, really. Couldn’t agree more. Everyone would be so much more happy that way.
@ Mac: I know. Wonder which God they think they are pleasing by doing shit like this.
@ Creepy Suzie: Not all’s black and white, I admit, but even you’d agree that this was as black as it could get.
@ Prem: Besides being bad, these people are idiots too. As your post on the attacks said.
@ Murr: I can’t even imagine what the relatives of the victims are going through.
@ Arindam: Sad but true…

no, i don’t. seeing violence in degrees is to accept defeat at its hands. i could say what abt hotel rwanda but thats not the pt really. violent world all thru. violent ppl, all of us. why do u love horror movies, i could ask. but that would again be defeatist.

(Totally different note.)
Is being called by the first name a sign of growing up or being accepted as a grown up? Suddenly everyone who used to call me Jana or its variants, have switched over to Arindam!

Hmm? Don’t think I ever used to call you Jana, though. Mebbe you were always a grown-up to me
