Is it patience or Impotence?

Recently i read about the serial bomb blast in Bangalore and Ahmadabad. Many people have died and a lot many have been injured, probably handicapped for the rest of their lives. All innocent people, who have nothing to do with these blast, whatsoever, except living in a nation which has no balls to stand up against the challenge. What is more irony is that the very people who get killed by such mindless action have got so used to it, that they stop complaining and have started accepting it as a 'way of life'. It is pathetic to see politicians and media boasting about the nation being not 'shaken' by these bomb blasts and that 'life is normal' within a few hours of the incident. Well, can you say that if the women killed in Bangalore blast is your mother or wife or sister? Can you say that if the men killed in Ahmadabad is your father or brothers or even friends? I guess not. So instead of hiding our impotence in a nice layer of gandhian words like 'patience' or 'ahimsa', may be it is time to act and seek justice for the thousands of fellow Indians who have died in vain. 3000 or so people were killed in the WTC bombings. What happened next? Did the US govt and US media boast about people moving on with their lives and 'life being normal'? NO. They refused to accept it as normal. They refused to die for no reason. They refused to stay in a life of constant threat. They refused to be impotent. They acted.

So why not we?

First Step

After years of hearing about blogs, today i am stepping into this interesting world of blogging. And just like every other time and in every other thing, sitting next to me is my loving wife, wished me good wishes for my blogging as well. Can any man ask for anything more in life?
