Its been 48 hrs now since the terrifying attack on India and the rescue operations still continue!
Explosions and fire continues at Taj, though the operations at the Nariman house and the Trident have seemingly come to an end. The approximate dead body count has reached a whopping 150 and the official count could be much more. The news channels are flashing all the possible rubbish - most of it true and the rest fake and the citizens of Mumbai continue to struggle back to their normal lives amongst all this. The Mumbai man surely has a personal disaster management strategy handy though the government India hasnt been able to draft one for herself, I am sure.
There has been a hell lotta hullabaloo by the so called national leaders passing political statements and huge paparazzi by the media making a great attempt to keep the citizens of India aware of the events second by second!! Ironically our national leaders seem to have a lotta strategy for disaster control after the terror has struck. There is a lotta talk about the strict measures to be taken in future and the compensation to lost lives.
Though there has been a genuine effort to fight this at the cost of the Mumbai bravehearts like the ATS cheif, the encounter specialist and Vijay Salaskar, the NSG commandos and the local policemen who lost their lives in order to shield ours. Let us also not forget the media who is making a very brave attempt of giving us the live coverage of the terror. I salute each and every human being involved in these operations.
And wait a minute there are something amongst all this that i wish to bring to notice. Its important and its important to hear it at this time.
Where has the Marathi Manoos hid himself amongst all this??? Why the fuck is he so silent when its today that Mumbai needs the biggest help and support!! How he claimed of the Maajhi Mumbai.... is now only bothered about Maajhi(me) now. Bull shit!!! Freaking... Fucking.... Bull shit!! Today when Mumbai is in terror India has summoned the NSG commandos from Delhi. Dint he protest this time??? I seriously wish i could throw him inside the Taj where he would see what is actual terror face to face and feel his own piss passing down his own pants. He freaking deserves it!! I seriously feel that his supporters now realize that its the India that matters and not his ideology of a freaking Marathi Manoos.
Somehow it seems rather convenient to clean the floor after the milk has been spilled than actually protecting the same from happening. I do not mean to criticize the Indian defense, but I am just so surprised that are we so engrossed in the concentration of nuclear power & economic stability with international recognition that any fucking men infiltrate the borders of our motherland and and claim so many lives that puts her on frontpage of all the existing news papers in the world in 15 freaking hours?
This had led to a lotta anger amongst the common man who does not know whether he would be shaking hands with death when he gets out of the house today. I have always loved Mumbai for the city that it is and have always vouched for its spirit. Even as the south Mumbai remains seized the rest of it continues to work and regain its normal life immediately. Are we just born resilient or what?? Do our schools train us to get up after every hit to prepare ourselves for the next disaster.!! Damn... arent we scared???Seriously what are Mumbaikars made of???
As i sit back on my bed and draft this blog my mobile vibrates.I immediately grab it and pick it up and guess who is it??
'Get Reebok sports shoes worth Rs. 2690 now for Rs. 1300 using ur ICICI bank credit card. TnC apply'
Imagine if you were stuck in one of those god forsaken places and you got this message? Wouldnt you feel like sueing the bank?
Can u beat that??? That is Mumbai and Mumbaikars for you.... While i sip some coffee in my room and letting the disastorous TV sounds fall slightly on my ears as i draft this shit I give out a hearty laughter. 'Oh yes i do need good Reebok shoes to run incase i come face to face with terror'
People here make serious efforts to resume their lives. They feel bad for their fellow brothers and pray for them in their own silent ways and let the show still continue. Yes, This happens only in Mumbai.
People had resumed their early morning walks on the marine drive and were curious enough to come there and take a look as to what are the latest developments. Most of these early mongers include senior citizens, youngsters and dog owners. All this is but an attempt to regain back to normalcy.
Be it the disastrous floods, the local train blasts or the Operation Tornado this time a Mumbaikar is ready to forget his worries and back to his normal life to earn that daily bread for his kiddies.
As i salute the spirit of Mumbai and wish that this spirit never dies i make an appeal to our national leaders that its time they have a articulate defense startegy in place to protect our motherland.
Jai Hind.
Regards,
Sne!!
