Wake Up!!

I have never ever been this enraged or overwrought as to what I am at present watching the current state of affairs. The other day i was bugging one of my friends by continuously updating her with the events unfolding at the 3 places attacked by the gutless brainwashed buggers. She was like, Preet you are getting a bit too carried away. She was right(She must have been reading all the news and me again narrating the same, must definitely be irritating whilst at work :) :) ). But why shouldnt I b ??? I was shocked to the core at the very disastrous things happening in my city to my people. Be it a terrorist attack or a politicized attack (which we faced some days back when the innocent north Indians were being targeted), its we, the aam aadmi who is being affected. I woke up this morning reading few lines in the news paper which quoted "Where are you Mr.xyz minister. Where are you sir when we need you and your sena at this hour? The NSG commandos from Delhi were the heroes who saved us." I felt - TATS BANG ON TARGET!! If I am not wrong they were the north indians and not the localites who saved us.

I was ashamed to see some of the politicians who had come to sniff like sniffer dogs to the traumatised places as if they can sniff and tell us where the terrorists were hiding. Infact i feel that comparing them with the sniffer dogs would be a real insult to the sniffer dogs who infact had the courage to take the terrorist bullets. I loathe these dastard politicians who try to take advantage of this situation and giving some speeches from the very affected areas. I was watching one of the channels and Shobha De was lambasting the politicians who were visiting the affected areas. I loved each and every word which she uttered and would like to mention them - " Stay out. Do not come to our city to gain political advantage. It was a complete and total failure in the leadership of the country. We pay millions and millions of rupees to our politicians to have them Z category security and wot r they doing in return for us? The prime minister made such an uninspiring, such a laclustre and a robotic speech at a time when the city is actually under an attack by saying keep calm, stay calm. No we will not stay calm!!". That was one heck of a bold comment made by Shobha De.

I did watch the speech which our respected prime minister gave. Gosh, it was totally uninspiring like Shobha De mentioned. It was like a bomb is stuffed in your ass and its about to explode and someone from the corner, at some distance of 20 feet is yelling at you and asking you to stay calm as to nothing will happen. Dammmmmmm!!! I was shocked to watch the immature behaviour of our prime minister when he came with the battalion of his security guards to take a look at the burning Taj. I would seriously like to pose a question to these people as to what are they gonna do visiting such places?? Are they gonna dive in like a superman whereing their undergarments over their pants and save people?? If not, please stay away. Please dont cause an inconvenience to our security forces. When a politician has such a visit, there are about 2000 security personnel who follow him for his security. Dont you feel it to be a shear wastage of time and money???? Shear wastage of the security personnel in such circumstances.

A sincere request to all the politicians,at least spare a thought for Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was the only son of his parents, spare a thought for the other valiant soldiers who gave their lives in the line of duty, spare a thought for the other innocent people who lost their lives, and get serious and unite to fight against terrorism. It could be your obsequies that the guns of honour could be fired the next time this happens. Stop discriminating people on the basis of castes or their domiciles, we have bigger stakes at hold. Its high time to get in military rule, wot say??

A day not to be

Taj burns, army storms hotel in oberoi, 101 killed in mumbai attacks. These are not some of the headlines you would like to get up watching, on any morning. The gutless terrorists strike again. I have the audacity to call them gutless because i feel these people can inflict terror and pain only on the helpless citizens. Try the same with the Indian army and they are bound to have their worst nightmares coming alive.

What I pity about is that some people from within our cult (the civilians) help these gutless buggers. How did they get into our land?How could they breach the security on the sea front? I completely trust our armed forces and the respect oozes out from every nerve within me, but these questions need to be pondered and delved into. The gap needs to be bridged.

I feel crippled sitting home, at this hour watching all the news channels and doing nothing. I feel crippled that i dont have the nerves within me to join the armed forces, which at one point of time i had given thought to. It may sound very foolish or infact very filmy types, but whilst listening to the news of the terrorists killing top ATS officials i really felt i should have been there and could somehow saved them.

Just spare a few minutes to think about ATS chief Hemant Karkare, additional commissioner Ashok Kamte and encounter specialistVijay Salaskar.They all are just normal human beings like you and me but selfless souls. All have become martyrs just because they wanted us to be in safer hues.On one of the channels they aired a footage of the additional commissioner Mr. Ashok Kamte getting ready with the bulletproof jacket for the mission. Little did he know that this was his last night. Little did his family know that this was the dreaded night when they would never see him again.

Even as i m writing this blog tears roll unknowingly down my eyes (this might sound like a sissy but i cannot help it , may b i am a tad more emotional)i believe thats because i have experienced how it feels when u lose your close one all of a sudden. Their memories huant you. I empathise with the families of these brave ones and salute those selfless beautiful souls!! May their souls rest in peace.

You strike terror, you attack our transport systems, you pen us down.....but every time you do that just keep one thing in mind,WE will strike back, WE will grow stronger, WE will ruin all your ambitions of keeping us in shackles. Just dont test OUR chutzpah because that must be thebiggest mistake you must have thought of, in your mangy little brains. Every time u rise up WE will knock you down and bring you to our feet till you weep and beg for amnesty which would be given only in the form of death. WE will rise and shine, after all its MUMBAI MERI JAAN!

I still havent found what I am looking for!!

Often this thought - when will i find my girl??- trespasses the ambit of my gray matter :) How will she be? At times i even feel that i should have my fiance - a girl in my life who can understand all my varying moods, with whom i can stand through the thick and thin. The moment i think deeper into this, reality slaps me, saying "YOU AINT TAT MATURE AS TO SOMEONE CAN ENTRUST HER LIFE TO U!!". I do not know whether its being single for 26 years that emotes out or its just that i havent taken life as seriously as some of my other friends who are already engaged. Frankly speakingly,I STILL HAVENT FOUND WOT I AM LOOKING FOR!! :)

To be a bit more frank on this, i am a kinda dumbo when it comes to all these things. I have seen some of my friends who were really good at flirting and they ended up being boyfriends and later hubbies.Damm, i envy them!! How can you strike a conversation with a girl whom u dont even know??

The other day i was in CCD with my friends. The moment i turned to my right i watched a couple who were at their zenith of wot i call, PDA-ism (public display of affection). The guy was caressing the girl's hand. The next thing we saw was, the girl taking out a paper napkin and then wiping off some remains of chocolate on the guy's hand. She then found out some pieces remaining on his chin, i guess, and so there it was on the guy's chin. THAT WASNT IT!!! She found some more pieces on the guy's lips and there it was (paper napkin :)), rolling on the guy's lips. Oh, so u think tat was it???? Nehhhhh. It was later rolled onto his nose. My conscience was yelling from deep beneath - "Now stuff that paper into his nose and cleanse off his mucus, u bugger!!!! (YUKKKKK!!)" Dam!!!!Had the girl been working in BMC she would have received the best seeper award, for sure!!It was one heck of a PDA i had seen. Trust me, if i would have been that guy i would have been embaressed to the core.I would have asked her to stick that papernapkin on my face and left the CCD. Gosh, i m lucky to be single :) :).

Still, the thought drives me curious, that there is some girl right here (in this world) right now (at this moment) who will be with me for the rest of my life!!!
