Hurray!! India won!..i exclaimed alone on 26th november 2008 at around 10 pm. sachin,sehwag, dhoni i.e 11 indians crushed the english side on cricket field. i thought lets see some news channels who might surely be goin gaga over indias victory. to my surprise they werent showing that,instead news of some firing at CST station was coming. first thoughts i had were of some local gangwars and crazy goons firing at each other. i slept without even slight thought that while 11 indians won on cricket ground, a billion were losing a battle in real life. and the opposition were just 10,one less even for a cricket ground but they were more than handful for much bigger ground..the Battleground-Mumbai.
I woke up next morning to the news that some mad but extremely dangerous people held many humans,indians..hostages. the mood dipped in a moment and fell even low in next two days. the sites of blood spread all over on CST platform and crying people made me uneasy. even so because they were helpless and targeted as a result of some cowardly policies in my country. well, eventually after three days of crying and gloomy faces,the battle was over. Really?? in fact the battle was started well before that..in akshardham,in delhi,in ahmedabad. but our dumb politicians and to an extent us the society too,need a big blast to understand that we are in a battle. they made us hear them by slapping hard. they made us bled,cry and fear them. we got angry and took out some rallies and protests for sometime. but after a month, sharemarkets indices became more important,a party became cooler than a rally with candles..this will stay so till we are again slapped hard and left to cry and fear..till we become strong and make them fear us..i hope that day comes soon..
