I am extremely angered. I do not see the point of these mindless killings of innocent civilians. I am referring to the latest Mumbai bomb blasts. It wasn't one, but series of 7 at the local suburban railways. To the terrorist group that are executing these acts, what do you want? Do you think your point will be well taken if you resort to such blood shed and extreme measures? How can you sleep at night after knowing that you would have devasted lives of 100s, killed children who know nothing of the big, bad and mean world, killed expectant mothers, orphaned some children? What is the rationale behind all this? You are pleasing no God through such acts.
I feel faint when I imagine what the families of the dead are going through. It would have been any other regular evening. The victim would have left his office, probably called his loved one en route to the train station to let them know he'll/she'll be home in a few minutes;cursed the crowded life in mumbai;dreamt abt a vacation in goa and waddled way through the crowd. Some wudn't have even luked up from their work they wud have wanted to finish before getting home. And amongst this scene of regular monday evening, a huge blast would have ripped the compartment, victims would have been hurled out or torn to bits. Some would have seen a few seconds after the blast and then closed their eyes to eternal sleep. How can one explain to the waiting soul at home that no one is going to come back? that life would never be the same for them? that there would be the eternal emptiness forever in their lives? With tear filled eyes, heavy heart, some blinded by anger, only one question would reign on mos t of their minds: why? The victims were in no way connected, they were no way responsible for anything that happened in the past or in no way could have influenced what would happen in the future. The victims were no path to the goal of these terrorists. They were just regular people, like you and me. Yet, they were the sacrifice to a purpose yet unknown, they paid the heavy price. This bomb blast is a massacre and so is every other one: in London, in Madrid, 9/11. And all these events just sow more hatred, more divide among people, more blood shed eventually. Where is all this going towards?

GOod question.. Is there an end? Wheres all this going and whos doing all these? We may never know.. Its completely mindless and spineless... These civilians have almost no part in decisions of govenrment except that they elected some govrnment w/o much choice really.. Why should they be attacked? Its scary.. Imagining TNagar in festival seasons and Buses and Trains in every major city, its just quite easy and possible in any place in India with almost no security whatso ever.
