Now, have you got over the blasts? The Delhi one, I mean.
or even the Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad ones? Arent we supposed to forgive and forget? I mean, every nation has explosions happening all round. So what? Look at the US. It had 9/11, didnt it? It's another matter that it attended to it big-time and made sure that it didnt have another one.
Look at even good old Pakistan. Each time someone riots or a mini-explosion takes place, it barks the place down, gets a grab at the US and India or whoever is within reach.
And we? We sound the red alert. We get bytes from Shivraj Patil who changes his attire three times in three hours to make sure the creases dont show on national television. This time, thankfully, he didnt say, "I am not going to say that someone is to blame," as he did after A'bad.
It's terrible, the way we live and never learn. NEVER.
We tolerate. We tolerate endlessly. What can the government do? we ask.
We all nod wisely, Mumbai is next.
Yes, it is. So? Are we going to stir up and show some genuine outrage or simply face what is in store? Are we going to do something to prevent it? Nah.
I mean, what CAN we do, right? We can't think of getting these clowns in Delhi to get to work, can we? We still have no idea who sends those emails that mock us so badly it's getting embarrassing to live.
Next polls, we know whom to vote for too. After that, we forget we voted for them. We tolerate and hope they will do their job. If they don't, we suffer.
And we suffer in silence.
