My city bleeds........

My Mumbai, my city bled and it continues to bleed. My heart goes out to the hostages and the bereaved families of those who have lost their lives. They say Mumbai will bounce back. What you thought us to be some ball, that once we are banged hard on the floor, we will bounce back? Nothing remains of the spirit of Mumbai. What spirit are u talking about? How many more people will have to lay down their lives to test this spirit? If u see people getting back to work, it is merely their resignation to their fate.
On late wednesday evening, the CM says the situation is serious. Oh really? Happy realisation! After that the CM was not seen anywhere! The PM comes on your television screens after 18 hrs from the time when the tragedy struck to give the most lethargic nation's address. Oh sorry it is a tragedy for these politicians, for us it is a massacre! The political parties are not playing the blame game to score brownie points over one another. Instead it seems that they are united. Oh wait till everything cools down and they will be back to what they do the best-blame each other.
I feel the people of Mumbai owe an apology from the govt for a serious intelligence failure. Please say,'We have failed and we have failed bigtime! Please throw us out. We are a bunch of useless and good for nothing creatures.' The real heroes have been the the army, navy, NSG commandos, firemen and our police force who not caring for their own lives tried to secure some. A SALUTE TO YOU!

BANG BANG!

Here I m blogging after a gap of almost 2 months....
Well this blog is all about the crap going on in my head at this moment... So if u don't wanna read it, you could navigate to a better website. No issues there!
1. Barack Obama won the US presidential elections... Yipiee. While the world is rejoicing, analysts have predicted a mixed bag of effects for India. The new Prez might press for a non-proliferation treaty with India. He may also give tax benefits to the companies who don't outsource and impose more tax on those who do, which in turn might hamper the job market in India. Though the 'No outsourcing' thing is still a distant priority for him, the non-proliferation treaty still remains a concern. But looking at the brighter side, the world has voted for a change. It is not only a change from red to blue but also a change from rage to peace. Obama's role in curbing terrorism will be crucial because he plans to go tough on Pakistan Govt. He is the re-incarnation of JFK, some may say. Only time will tell whether he lives up to the expectations of the world!

2. CAT is less than 10 days away. Though I have a strategy in place, the percentiles are not encouraging enough. Still I haven't given up. I m mentally prepared to fight the battle till the last day. The other entrances are comparatively easy. I m hoping to clear them at least if not CAT. At times I wonder,' All that I m doing is darkening the ovals, hoping that this darkness will lead me to light!'

3. My mom noticed while combing my hair that the inner strands of my hair had become warm. She said my daughter has suddenly started putting her brain to use. Look how hot it has become by overuse! (Well if u thought i did not know how to comb my hair, let me tell you that i do. But who does not like to be pampered by mommy dearest?)
