Once again, Mumbai has been attacked… our country has been attacked.
I didnt know of it until today morning, when I read the newspapers. I have been in a daze since then, angry, upset, frustrated, aghast. I can’t begin to describe the emotions that are running through me. I have been lashing out at everyone in office, at home. I feel like this is an attack on me, my family.
On one hand, you have people like Raj Thackery who want to divide us, and on the other hand you have these terrorists who want to destroy us. What do these people want? Why are they doing this?
I want to do something about it. What can I do? Where can I go? Whom can I approach? I cant stop thinking about it and feeling totally miserable. I cant seem to be able to do anything beyond calling my friends and family in Mumbai and ensuring they are safe. Is this all we are capable of doing? Isnt it time we, ordinary citizens of this country, came together to do something about this? To stop these atrocities? To save our nation?
and for how long do we just feel happy that ppl we know are safe? for how long will they – will we – be safe?
is this how we want to live? thankful for being alive??
gosh!
the angst over feeling so helpless really makes me speechless.
me: I really want to do something. I am fed up of listening to insensitive reporters and politicians going on and on on television, asking wierd questions, talking politics when all we need to action – to bring those terrorists to book. We may not be as powerful as the US to declare war on the country from where the terrorists originated, but we can definitely do something else right?
