life.....

ohk its been a long time since ive posted... i know u all must have been dying to read another of my posts..(who am i kidding)... so to all those hopeless creatures out there who have nothing good to do over the next 5 min.... heres a reading passage... yeah just time urself coz ur not gonna find anything really interesting out here...

the past 2 months have been very eventful... lots of sad moments... a few happy moments... but they have been moments i will remember for the rest of my life.... especially yesterdays incident....

four years ago... hundreds of energetic and excited youngsters descended on the stage called MJCET... with hopes,aspirations,desires of their own... excited about the coming 4 years... wanting to do lots of things in their life... engg me ye karinge, wo karinge etc etc... 4 years on... its all over... we are done with our engg... the feeling is yet to sink i but yeah.. we have to start believing it... as for the dreams... well u can ask urself if u have got all u wanted.... 

                                                my engg life has been a mixed bag... we got the one thing i craved for.. freedom... freedom to make my decisions and also claim responsibility for the consequences.. freedom to attend (rather bunk) classes... to hang around, talk about anything under the sun or moon..  to dream and to reach those dreams... to help each other in times of need... to celebrate ur friends birthdays and bash them on other days... to reducing the number of days u study for an exam from 3days in 1st year to hardly a day now.. to celebrate each others happiness and be with them in their time of need... alas the ride is about to end.. we have reached the stations... almost atleast...i think it couldve been better but overall im satisfied with what ive got... in a month or so we will have our convocations.. and there we will be... again the hundreds descending on the stage for the convocation... for one last time... the transition to adulthood being completed... we will be ushered into a world full of reponsiibilities and all....

but then who cares about the world... i mean what is going around the world??/

show throwing is fast becoming an art... and urs truly is becoming quite an expert at it and im teaching it too... i can now throw a show at a fly from 25 metres ofcourse if it doesnt move that is... infat now the politicians are working out to improve  their flexibility... y else do u think LK Advani was lifting weights at the gym... they are joining a special course on how to evade a shoe... or in india... a sandle or chappal or eggs or cowdung... whatever.... their classes are being taken by.... u guessed it... me.... u knw its quite a business... u teach the public how to throw shoes... u teach  the politicians how to evade them.... infact now im trying to get a tie up with a shoe manufacturing company to get a designer "throw shoe".... these will not come in a pair... buy one shoe only... save on the other one....  by the way... i was highly impressed with chidambaram's reaction after the incident... shows what a dignified man he is.....

                                               the past few days were eventful.... we had a class farewell which ummmm.. was overall good... especially the last part... but yeah the most important thing the day did was brought us together with everyone ready to open his/her mind up about every1.. that was the one time i saw that a more united class could have made these 4 years even more memorable... a lot of people cribbed about groups in the class.. i think we still have a lifetime ahead where we can stay in touch...   and the groupism part brings me to the college farewell and the highly talked about (but in my view non-existent) rivalry between ece-a and b... i apologise to people who have been hurt by my speech dat day.. it was in good humour...

                                                speaking about the college farewell... it wasnt the dull stuff i expected it to be.... was fun actually... nice to see the lecturers on the receiving end for once... after all they have done to us.... people came up with some really funny speeches... especially jatin...   

                                                now we have the exams and im doing what a typical engg student does.... anything but studies.... the one thing i guess we have learnt from engg is that life shouldnt be confined to those books... i keep thinking about what i can do on the last exam... i mean how will i be reacting... this might be the last time i face all my classmates... theres so much to be done... i wanted to apologise to all of them if ive ever hurt them..... speaking about apologising... i think a lot of people were hurt by waamers speech on that farewell... the funniest part was that he had told us that given an opportunity to speak, he would want to apologise to every1... especially the girls... well if he was apologising, then it must have been in a coded language coz i thought he was doing qute  the opposite.....

                                                 and before i end this torture... the last and most memorable incidentt of my college life... maybe even the whole of my life... yesterdays incident.... we were on our way to cbit when we got into an accident with a truck.... that was the moment i again realised that all the work ive done in my life... all the studies and all... could have been taken away in that one instant... i  dont want to give a full description of the incident... i think faheems blog has alrready done that... but the intebsity of the crash was such that people looking at the wrecked car would easily have assumed there wouldve been casualties... and we lived... without a scratch... literally... the next 3 hours in the exam hall was a torture in itself... ur mind wanders... u think that instead of being hear u couldve easily been in a hospital or worse... dead... but it was god's mercy that saved us... and yasir's bravery and quick thinking.... the guy took the whole impact on his side... he could easily have swerved on the other side and i wouldve been the victim... and his first words after getting out... "aap log sab theek hai na?"... that tells a lot about him... yasir, i know u wont read this... but its because of u that we are all alive and well.... i dont think i wouldve had the guts to do what u did? thanks for saving us....

                                            

                                                        khair moving on... its been a great time spent in college and i hope each and everyone of us has a great career... i hope we have a great journey in life... and we meet each other throughout this journey so that w have exciting tales to share.... till then... be happy.... and drive safely..... 

@ ahmed... sorry im lifting this one but i just had to do it

to all my batchmates... this is what i have to say

Students of different kinds
Students with different minds
Yet they share one similarity
They're tied together; friends in unity

Thanks so much for the funny moments
For when I'm lonely, they're wonderful ailments
Never will I forget these memories
Precious times; precious goodies

This batch shall be united forever
In the same boat; having fun together

Now it's time to go different ways
Time to spend our last few days
Laughing at the funny jokes
Recoiling from the harmless pokes

It's so hard to say goodbye
Let's just imagine it's a time to fly
Promise me you'll stay in my heart,
It's so sad when we're apart

Who will give those funny jokes?
Who will lighten our mopes?
Who can make the teacher laugh?
The teacher who is known to be rough?

Who can make field trips so fun?
Who can reduce our boredom to none?
Who will make learning bearable?
My new class?
No, that's horrible!

to all the students of final years,

lets all hold back on our tears.

I am going to miss you guys
So let's all say,
our final goodbyes. 

and while parting from each other,

lets promise to stay together.

note: if u have read till here... plzz leave a comment... will definitely appreciate it 

  

yawwwnnn

ok so to the millions and millions out there who dont have nything substantial to do.. heres another one of u jobless idle fella cmng out with a blog...
if u r wondering y it took so long to come out with this one, then id like to take ur autograph coz u r one of the sole survivors of that very rare and almost extinct sub-set of homosapiens who actually keep a check on what i write... well frankly speaking i can actually say that i have had 2 iim interviews in this duration but id b lying if id put that down as a reason for not updating my blog... the thing is that 4 years of engg pampers u so much that u become way to lazy to actually think of writing nythng...
ny after my last post i had attended two boot camps and on 13 feb i had my iim-indore interview... which lasted just 8-10 min... now some other guys had their interviews going uptil 30min so i dont know what to make of it.. nyways i will save u the agony of going thru the details of the interview.. in simple words they screwed me in sports//// in sports? man, that was my strong area....
chalo nyways after this interview i resolved to work harder.. which usually meant bunking colg and watching movies at home...
there was an interesting incident that had taken place in the meanwhile... i had gone to a friends place at night to take a few textbooks and there we discussed a lot of topics including ghosts... my friends gave such horryfying descriptions of man and ghost encounters that i have stopped roaming around after 12 at night... its interesting that we fear something that we have only heard about and not encountered but then i might give the same justification to believe in god... nyways i had been to bangalore in the last two days for my iim-a interview and i was very impressed by the city.. its leagues ahead of hyd in cleanliness, infrastructure, culture and.... u can take a guess as to where i was going... ny way if ny one of u has a lot of time to kill then u can probably read my iim-a interview and give me ur feedbaack... the link is http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-and-related-discussion/37584-2009-2011-iima-pgp-essay-3.html plz do give ur feedback.... chalo i gotta go... slept only 8 hours in past 2 days and have to watch man utd vs inter milan at 1230 am... so gotta catch on some sleep... cya.... and yeah just in case u want to listen to some good songs i can recommend two that i liked... now these arent that recent so u might have already heard but just in case u havent then do listen to
the way u look tonight by elton john and careless whisper by george michael..... and just watched luck by chance... nice movie... c it if u havent... chalo im tired and ur bored.... cya..

3 mistakes of my life

to err is human and to forgive divine... but sometimes u err and there is no one to forgive u. these are errors that effect only you... i am touseef, final year engg and these are the mistakes of my life....


this is my final sem in engineering and in 5 months i would be a professional in an alien world, out of this comfort zone that ive been in...
today when i look back at my life so far, i realize with deep despondency that it could have been much better and much more interesting had i taken a few decisions differently..
yesterday i was taking a psychometric test which is supposed to show you what ur strengths and weaknesses are and how you would improve on them.. i just couldnt believe that the result of a 20 minute test could explain to me things that i couldnt learn in my 20 year's life... but when i got down to note the mistakes of my life, i realize that the results of the test were apt, atleast in my case...
my analysis showed that i always took others opinion over mine.. and these decisions have altered the position that i am in...
the first mistake was after 10th standard when i took MPC... i remember it was nov 2002 at a party that my dad's friends reminded me that i was in 10th and was reaching the most important phase of my life i.e intermediate (funny these same words had been used for 10th and later on for my engg too). they asked me what i wanted to do and i casually replies 'CEC'.. the expression on their faces made me reflect on my sentence to affirm that i did not use anything untoward... 'but why cec, you are a good student?'... now what does being a good or a bad student have to do with choosing a stream... but when you are small and as naive as i was at that time, you take any advice coming your way especially if it is wrapped with a bit of flattery... 'you are a good student touseef, you should not take cec' these words kept ringing in my ears.. yeah im a good student and good students dont take cec... so what do the good students take? my uncle answered that for me.. we go 6 months ahead in time when my uncle calls me from india and tells me "congrats touseef, you have got an admission i narayana jr college in MPC stream".. ohhh so good students take admission in MPC... (at that time i thought they gave admission in narayana on merit) ok... thank god i have people who take these decisions for me... so we get into intermediate life where i study 6-8 hrs daily for abt 2 years and get a good rank in eamcet..
now my second mistake in life.. which stream to choose in engg? now where do the good students go? i didnt like my inter life so i dont consult the people i consulted before.. i ask my intermediate lecturers and pat comes the reply... "ofcourse you should take ECE touseef, thats what the toppers choose.."... so now i felt real proud... a month before counselling started, i had actually decided on the stream and college where i was going.. (college was it seems a foregone conclusion in my case).. now if this is not long term planning, then what is? i have a month ahead where all those lazy guys are still confused over what stream and college to choose and i now had a perfect vision in front of me.. i felt proud of myself... its another matter that the only thing i knew about ece was that it stood for electronics and communications engineering and the only thing about mj was its address... but then i earned this place through eamcet right.. i again pity those fellas who are going around listening to different opinions and more so i pitied those who decided a course because they had an interest in the subject... i mean how could you have an interest in the subject? what rubbish.. who are you to decide which stream is better? leave that to the experts like i did.. i go to my jr college and distribute sweets among my lecturers and thank them for guiding me... i go to the counselling center and at my turn the counsellor asked "which stream and college? to which i replied "mjcet, ece" then he gave me his advice and these are words that i will remember all my life... "listen son, i was in your position 20 yrs back and i chose mvsr, ece and trust me i repent it now.. had i chosen civil engg at that time, i wouldnt have had the time to sit here" and i was thinking why doesnt this old man just shut up and give me what i want.. he's just one man compared to the half dozen lecturers i asked for advice and the dozens of family and friends who had commended my 'intelligent' decision... so i finally end up in mjcet,ece... and b4 entering college i thought in ece we are taught latest wireless technologies, how to make cellphones etc...


the third and most crucial mistake that i have made so far and fortunately this is one i can still make up for is the way i have led my life so far... i have studied a lot in my inter life and in my engg life although i havent studied as much, i still havent managed or given due time to my friends... those that i have left behind in my school and jr college life and i fear i am doing the same now... yeah ofcourse i hang around a lot of ppl and have fun with them put i fear that like i had preferred studies over friends previously, i might be doing the same now....

when i look around at the kind of friend circle my brothers have, i feel that this is one place where i have definitely lacked.. perhaps good students dont deserve good friends... plz this is not to offend any of my friends, its just that i feel ive been lacking in this department.... perhaps its mostly i who is to blame and since i know this is the case, i believe the last few months of engg will be reserved solely for friends.. no studies, no more attending regularly... this time will be just to make new friends and strengthen old friendships... i hope everyone helps me in this one....

meanwhile the experts in my life have begun to congratulate me for getting placed and also that my engineering is coming to an end... they ask me what i am doing next... they want the 'good student' to go for an ms or join a company but arent satisfied when i say i want to do an mba... but now ive learned not to get swayed by these opinions... from now on, i will control what i do... just imagine, had i not made my first mistake, i might as well have completed my first year of mba... all the gyaan that i blindly listened to has effectively cost me a year... all those samaritans might be pleased to see that i have travelled the path that they have shown me, even though i am still as naive about ece as i was at the outset...

so here i am again... i am touseef, final year engg, never made the important decisions of my life, but from now i will be incharge of my life... i will make the decisions.. ofcourse i will listen to others and value the opinons but the final decision will be mine..... for good or for worse.....


dedications....
1) aamer, whose story is quite similar to mine and who has discussed this with me for 2 hrs...
2) all my other friends, i will try to value u guys even more than i have before...
3) my mom, who has always told me that a man is rich or poor not by his financial position but by the number of friends that he has...
4) the counsellor who advised me to take civil engg. sorry sir i heard to everyone else but you when it shud've been the other way round.. i now understand what you meant and i support your view.. and 20 years later when i tell the same, i hope my son/daughter listen to me and then use their discretion
5) to anyone who has cared to read this blog.. i hope you take charge of the decisions you make from now...
6) to anyone getting into junior college... listen to ur heart but at the same time, be reasonable...
7)to anyone getting into engg... do not go with the flow... civil is better than ece on any given day...

happy new year

ok this is the time when everybody meets each other with the three magical words... HAPPY NEW YEAR... families plan vacations... the middle-class save the whole year to spend this week... with all thats been happening around the world in general and india in particular, i was of the opinion that people would not spend lavishly on this new years eve.. i thought that with the recent mumbai attacks, the global meltdown and the resulting instability would dater people from celebrating an occasion which i frankly never understood. i mean, whats there to celebrate in a new year? i can understand a birthday or an anniversary or any other momentous occasion but a new year? and especially this new year! whats there to celebrate this year.. what have we achieved in 2008 that we look forward to 2009 and welcome its inception. this was perhaps the worst year in the past few decades. surely people would not be celebrating this new year.
but as i was travelling around the city, i realised how wrong i was. people were excited about the new year. and not just excited, they were going out of their way to welcome it. people were thronging bakeries to buy cakes. families, friends were planning on where to celebrate rather than whether to celebrate? and i was just roaming alone with two thoughts in mind. people are either dying or are getting sacked around the world. and i could be one of the latter coz this was my last sem. my last new year in my college life with my friends. surely i had a larger reason to make this occasion all the more memorable. but there i was just alone thinking if these are the same people who uptil yesterday were mourning those dead in the mumbai blasts ans vowing to fight for justice. did they forget everything overnight? is this what the human race has become? are we so selfish that we dont care about others in our good times.
and as i was going around i saw a group of poor people begging for food. no one seemed to care about them. why would they? god has been kind to them. so what if he hasnt blessed those beggars or those victims around the world. thats not of any concern to us right. we are a race above them right? there were small kids begging for food and the rich didnt care because they had their very important celebrations.
i relieved myself of some money to give them whatever i could. they seemed to be verry happy. this was their new year, their celebration. then i stood there a few minutes and i saw some kids share crackers with them. they all seemed happy together. then i realised that not everyone forgets others in their happiness. and there are many who try to hide their sorrows and everyone celebrates the new year because if theres one thing that god has given us all in equanimity, it is HOPE.. the hope for a better tomorrow.. the hope that these celebrations of today might mask their sorrows of last year... and surely they believe in the adage THE PUSPOSE OF LIFE IS THE CELEBRATION OF BEING ALIVE... yes this is the new year and this is the time to celebrate.. so lets all celebrate, lets pray to god for a better 2009 but lets also pray for others around the world who are not in a situation to celebrate.. i guess the world needs these kind of festivals because they generate employment oppurtunities.. for eg. the bakers and the tourism industry benifit from this.. i guess to keep everything in a level field, these kinda festivals will continue...... i just hope that during our celebration, we dont forget everyone else
and for all my collegemates, these are the last few months so lets try to make them memorable... and everyone who has read this.. i hope u can forgive me if i have ever done any harm to u.. plzz forgive me...

introspection

ok its two posts now and i showed them to a friend who wants to be known as mr.A.... not for any security reasons though... its just that he likes it that way and lets just keep him happy... although ill give u a few hints and lets c if u r smart enough... his name begins with the letter A hes my classmate and hes not short... ok just one more.. his roll number comes before mine...
now this mr.A has this really irritating but admirable ability to make even shakespeare appear ordinary... so u can take a guess as to the criticism i have had to face.. i had almost stopped blogging ( which many of you humans might take as goodnews) but then since i had nothing else to do, this became my fall back option...
a lot of news channels started campaigns against the security ( rather the lack of it) in india and got a tremendous response from the janta... but just a week or so later they seem to have lost steam in the wake of the elections in 5 states and hence ends the great indian campaign...
talking abt elections it seems that congress won this battle grabbing 3 out of 5 states... but i guess the public were voting for the party they hated less as against voting for the one they liked.. vasundhara raje can definitely shout "ab nahi rukega rajasthan".... now that shes out of the picture.. for 5 years atleast..
i just received a message which has happy bakr eid wriitten in c language.. now who would have had the time and patience to write that down... which brings me to a question... who forwards the forwarded messages... i mean who writes that up? tell me if you know that one...
talking about messages, i have been made to think hard for the past few days if technology has made us lose our common sense... yeah we depend upon it for all our contact details and so we memorise less but does it affect our common sense?
i got two messages from friends which read as follows...
"hi remember me this is xyz and my number is this 9xxxxxxxxx... now the last time i checked, we have caller id facility on our mobiles... yesterday i got a call from a friend of my dad who calls and then tells me to note his number down. i tell him that i got his number but he tells it has changed and dictates the same number that came on the display of my cell..( yeah i 4got to mention.. i own a cellphone :-) i know its so rare to have one)
remember the aliens.. since i stopped communicating with them (go to blog 2 for details), im having a recurring nightmare where the alien metamorphosises into a cat and then into a question mark and then disappears, leaving behind a sentence... its coming.... man they know how to scare the hell out of u..
hey im learning swahili... its not that tough u knw... just mutter anything that doesnt make sense to u while making sure that u are dancing and your words end mostly with the letter u... which brings me to another question.. who invented language and how did they do it? i mean who sat and thought that eat has to refer to consume and moreover who discovered grammar and pronounciation.. i mean why cant we say sicoloji instead of psycology... why cant we just let things be simple...
if u think this blog is just like the tickr from mtv, thats coz i dint have anything worth writig... hopefully next time ill write smthng meaningful


dedicated to
1) ahmed multani... u inspired me to write
2) aamer oops sorry mr.A, ur criticism mean nthng to me.. but yeah they do inspire me to write that one blog that you may like
3) jatin, faheem, riaz,waseem,prashanti for reading my blogs... and if anyone else is reading them then plz plz do leave ur comments.. and suggest any improvements that u might want..

6) anyone who is getting irritated by the man utd thing then i apologize coz thats one thing i find hard to control

and yeah ive got an xam on dec21 so plz pray for me and multani

beware of aliens

ok so the first one is gone and by popular demand of about 1000002 creatures (a million of them were aliens), im coming out with the second one... frankly those aliens seemed very supportive , although i couldnt understand a word of what they said and i wonder if they understand what i write.. so its a mutual admiration going around here... now i dont know how to thank you aliens.. i mean what do i call you.. do u guys speak any language... obviously youre looking down at the earth right now and maybe even using a super high-bandwidth internet... so do u guys travel on brooms or do u have individual spacecrafts... frankly i was so overjoyed at seeing your comments that i went to my balcony and started shouting my thanks at you guys... i tried everything from barking to naying even sneezing (who knows that might be your language) till my mom started panicking and almost dialled 911 thinking my cat results were out and i had either flunked or passed but when i explained the reason i was making those noises, she panicked even more and started searching for a psychiatrist... now in my quest to be the first person on earth to communicate with the aliens, i continued first by meowing like a cat (somehow i got that idea) the i played a speech of george bush but someone from the opposite building threw a stone at me.. now obviously those aliens were hiding their identity so i got an idea and then i played something i thought even the aliens mght not like--- a himesh reshammiya song.... the aliens didnt reply but i got a lot of tomatoes and rotten eggs from every direction... my mother became even more determined in her search for a psychiatrist and the secretary of my apartment wanted to throw me out of the building.. i tried explaining the historical significance of my quest but the more i tried to convince him, the more aggressive he became... so with the noose tightening around my neck, my brain started ticking and i finally got a very bright idea.. i finally came across a word that everyone new... the word transcends languages, religions and i was sure even planets... so i shouted half excited with the impending glory and half amazed at my intelligence... so i shouted at the top of my breadth... " manchester united".... "manchester united"... my mom dropped the phonebook, the secretary stood still with his mouth wide open and i stood totally dumbfounded as i heard a noise... is it a bird, is it a plane.... no, it was a few dogs who all of a sudden had started barking... talk about timing... i tried to convince myself that there was some idiot standing down there who made the dogs barkright at that time... now for those aliens... i know you guys love me and my posts but if you dont know what manchester united is then i dont care about you guys... needless to say my mom took me to the psychiatrist and had a difficult time convincing the secretary that i was sane.. just a bit insane maybe but it can definitely be controlled.... and i was banned from going to the balcony...

and just if you dont know, the guy in the pic is rafael da silve.. 3 years younger than me and 3000 times better than me....

ok so i have for today this arduous task of getting up early at 8 and going in search of a project for my final sem.. but since i am blogging right now you can take a guess of how that is developing....
now my mom is getting suspicious with my long hours in front of this idiot box, so before she gets any funny ideas, im outta here.... cya soon... and beware of aliens

think about it

for all those who dont know me(trust me you havent missed anything) my name is touseef im 6 foot tall, and got horrible eyes... im in degree final year(if u care to know) and i get pissed off when anyone calls me a nerd... and right now im trying to download a dictionary to throw in some tough words (sigh), i wrote (or should i say gave(forgive the grammatical errors)) the CAT this year and for everyones sake, i wont be discussing it...
hmm.. what do i say.. when i thought of writing a blog (inspired by a friend called ahmed whose blogspot is www.ahmediqbal.blogspot.com ) i had various topics but now i think i will focus on the one thing that had (or still has) the country stranded(obviously im referring to india because i dnt think ny1 abroad would be reading this). i know it might not be something to read as a pastime but what im about to take is a view that has not come into the limelight as of yet.. and yeah for the uninitiated, im referring to the mumbai blasts and while i was reading into the different opinions, one photo struck me and made me think.. WAS THE MUMBAI BLAST REALLY AN OUTSIDE JOB....
check this link out http://pakistankakhudahafiz.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/evidence-being-deliberately-ignored/ notice the thread and the fact that the terrorists had ordered liquor ( which is banned in islam)... now i know ppl will say that this might have been a coverup but why would they require one when the next thing they do is send a mail from russia claiming that they are part of a group called deccan mujahideen.. even if we consider that this is another coverup to hide the fact that they are pakistanis then why would these terrorists, who have so carefully planted fake evidences, make calls to karachi from the hotel? doesnt make sense right..
there are reports that they were trying to kill british and american nationals when only one britisher actually died... and the most important events that support this theory are the deaths of the ATS chief HEMANT KARKARE who reportedly had enough evidence with him to make a few high profile arrests in the nation.. dont you think his death was a bit too timely.. and another point to note is that the terrorists had enough ammunition to last 59 hours and if common sense were to be applied, there is no way that they could have carried it through the front gate of the hotel... which leaves two options.. the ammunition was already there or some one helped them get it in and in both cases there is obviously an insider involved..
okay enough theories lets see what the govt does... first they ignore all prior warnings of an impending attack and when the attack comes, they blame it on the pakistan govt without any investigation... frankly speaking, they did not have much of an option because claiming that the attack was an inside job would further pressurise the government which has clearly proved itself inept in providing security to its people and also taking rapid actions in the aftermath of this catastrophe...
now what does the government have to support its claims... an arrested terrorist who is divulging details faster than bret lee's deliveries... i have just seen the photo of this guy taken from a cell phone and for all i know he might already have been dead... just think about it... why would anyone who has agreed presumably to sacrifice his life so that his family is paid well make confessions so easily when he knows fully well that the masterminds of this attack might well be on their way to his house to kill his family members.. the same people for whom he had done this crime... it just doesnt make sense to me...
i guess in the next few days we will have newpapers and news channels carrying reports of the "spirit of mumbai" which totally makes me sick... i mean what do u xpect from people
whose house runs on their daily wages to do? stay at home in fear of another attack? do u think they are not concerned about their security? but can they help it... i mean what are they to do when their saviors are helpless.... the one thing this blast has brought about is the anger people have in their hearts for the politicians and the love they had for the commandos who were given a reception that only bollywood and cricket stars had experienced ... and god knows they thoroughly deserved all the accolades they got and even more maybe....
now if u r reading this till now, i can only assume that you have been moved by the incident... today i read a newspaper article about how people believed that terrorism had no religion and its really hearwarming to see that especially to a guy who has been called as being or belonging to a group of terrorists about 3 times in the past month and trust me it really hurts... atleast now i know that not all indians consider everyone as their brothers...
and where do we go to from now... i dont know... for once i hope whatever points i have given above are proved wrong for the nations sake(after a full and fair investigation i.e) and for our sake lets pray it was an outside job... but if it was an inside job then the nation is definitely tearing apart... its about time we star taking politics and national security (in that order ) serioously because i feel that the two are inter related... lets hope the lives of those commandos dont go in vain...
the elections are coming... should we give this govt another chance? can we trust the opposition? do we have another alternative? just think about it... till the next time when hopefully it will be a lighthearted post, im sighning off... c ya and pray for those who lost their lifes and their families
