The youth, they say is the only hope this country has now. Well, they may be right. But I am not assured. What I saw today was absolute indifference. Except for a few, not all people were really affected by what happened in Mumbai. I know there are spoilsports everywhere. But I can't help but get disheartened by it. The biggest tragedy of a tragedy is what happens after the tragedy. People talk for a while and then carry on with their lives. The effect fizzes off. Sadly enough, that is our mentality. When it happens to me it is a tragedy, when it happens to others it is just an incident? People blame the politicians, the intelligence, the system(even I did); but what after that? We move on... Why? Why can't we keep that fire burning within us? Had something gone wrong with our kith and kin, wouldn't we be affected? Spare a thought for the families of those innocent people who have lost their lives. Their world has come crashing down. They are sad, destroyed, dejected...
I am furious. I am not angry with the terrorists. Their families got paid for what they did. They were loyal to their employers. I am angry due to the inaction. I am angry because it is we the people who always bear the brunt. Is just being angry enough? Can't we do something? Some might say, yes we can... We can VOTE... VOTE for whom? Frankly for me voting has turned out to be choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. Before voting one has to think, who will be less worse. Which party will cause the minimal damage? That is the sorry state of affairs for you! Having said all this, I still have a burning desire to do something. But how? That is my question.
