I was just trying to get this blog indexed by google. So that i can reach out to more people. Right now i am not sure even if one person is reading my blog. Sometimes i feel like quitting. Whats this thing! Will post every week funda? who cares? Still i have a glimmer of hope. Some day somebody will read. He/She will take an inspiration, join me in my task and my dream for a change.
Anyway, leaving all those melodramatic stuff out, I found something that really saddened me. I tried googling " mumbai attack 26/11" and found many blogs. But most we posted on 27/11, 28/11 or within a month or so. Not a single blog or post since the dawn of 2009. Its not that nobody blogged (sure, i did) its just that indexing was not good enough. I felt very bad. One of the rare occasions where we see the insensitivity of technology. Some ways thats good some ways that 's bad. But still my resolve to keep trying is strong.
Anyway, that's not the issue. We have some important ones to discuss. Firstly, i just read an article from 'Time' that says that Pakistan is gonna present the report on its investigation on 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks within a week or so. It also says that Pakistan may try to link things to Bangladesh. For once i saw 'Time' take side with what we Indians have been saying for a long time. Pakistan must accept first of all that it is facing a major crisis.
Other than whats happening with the 26/11 investigations on the military front a top secret operation of Indian Navy has hit the media. An Indian submarine trailing two advanced Chinese ships. Its really bad that these things are comming out in open. The Navy needs to be more careful in the future. There is nothing wrong in these operations. Its always good to be prepared. Especially with the kind of neighbours we have.
A. K. Antony said recently that we need to cut the red tape. Well Mr. Antony, you are the defence minister. Why don't you try doing something about it. Its been some time since the congress is in power, we have Rahul Gandhi's (our savior or 'the one' or shall i call him 'Neo') famous 'lal batti' speech and lot of minsiters talking abt this crap. To all these guyz, Don't talk just do your job. Atleast one thing i am satisfied about Antony is that his hands have been clean compared to George Fernades or Mr Antony's collegues.
Also L. K. Advani is trying to voo the next generation online. I feel sad for this guy. All this campaign is like old wine in new bottle. Only differnce is that wine gets better as it gets old but indian politics gets rotten.
Ram Sene guyz need to be punished for what they have done at Mangalore. Who the hell are they to take the law into their own hands. But at the same time all the news channels and other hunky dory activists also need to reign themselves in. The hate propoganda is not just spread by Ram Sena, VHP, and others. Its done by these guyz also. Surprised, don't be. Look at the jurnos, they all wanna sent out a message that they are modern, everything Indian is terrible for them. Eg: Sagarika ghose wearing a beautiful saree chastisized The Ram Sene leader. But she is ashamed of wearing a bindi with her saree. Half the anchors don't wear that. Any channel. There are channels that ask its anchors not to wear one lest they loose viewers of other religions.
These activists and freedom speakers , they feel that they should be allowed to even walk naked and do what ever happens in the west . They feel anything in the west is mordern. They call these guys intolerent. Are they also not being intolerent? Lets take the example of kissing in public. I am not against kissing in public.
I have the right to show affection(even in public). But occasion and place also matters. Think of this situation , a dad is playing with his daughter and son of 5 and 7 lets say on the beach. A couple starts making out. The kids ask dad what they are doing. Is he gonna tell them that they are making out?
I feel that everything within limits is ok. I have seen for myself what happens in these pubs. It does not call for this kind of an attack. If somebody finds something illegal we have the cops. Lets call them. Not beat these people up.
Damn, i was just gonna write one para on this topic but it turned out to be huge. Anyway, these two groups need to find a common ground. We need to adjust and accomdate both. Both need to learn the Indian value of tolerence. Lets take whats good in west and leave out the bad. Indian has been a good society, one that learned and evovled with time.
Our martyrs did not lay down their lives for us to fight like this.
Alteast for the sake of them. Lets stop fighting.
26/11/2008 mumbai, i won't forget. Lets Not!
