What will it take for our country to wake up .. to wake up to terror to wake up to honesty ??.. most importantly to wake up to its poeple?
How many Kandahars and how many Oberoi's do we have to endure for our country to learn its lesson of division, indecision and inefficiency?
How many more politicians will thrive on our national economy to ensure that they can have a plush green backyard?
How many more civilians/army men will have to lay their lives for a Godhra or Jamma Masjid?
For how many more centuries should the people of India live in pseudo intelligence only to realise that it's only a big national joke?

Our India today has no vision , no goals , no charecter. In the name of it's so called spirit it's raped and murdered everyday - sometimes in factions within itself and sometime by some other country. They come , they destroy and oh yes they die .. but indefatigably yet another troop comes - they come, they destroy and not just they ..we too die.. sometimes in spirit and sometimes in body.
Our India today is busy with fighting for lack of causes and fails to deal with real causes. Our India today is busy banning ciggarettes in movies but fails to douse the fire from bomblasts.
It tries to set standards of "Only Marathi's.." in Mumbai.. why dosen't it say only Indians in true spirit??? Because there is no more an Indian within us..its only a Bengali, a South Indian or an etc etc etc.

What happened to the precedents we used to set ? What happened to our lofty ideals of heroism .. Seems this time it wasnt just the Trident or the Nariman House or the Oberoi .. seems like this time it was the spirit of India that was hostage. It still seems like we are too busy surviving then living.

We still have the newschannels waxing eloquent about the last 56 hours.. what are we doing as citizens of India to revive from the last 56 hours. Oh well.. here in India we have and continue to live in the past .. so we shall!!
