Damn damn DAMN

Srinagar in the morning, Bombay in the evening.

Remember my firm conviction that the world is full of morons? Have to amend that a bit. Some of those morons are evil bastards who should be eliminated. No “understanding”, no counselling, no analysis. If you are sick enough to maim and kill unsuspecting people who never did you any harm, you should be removed. Like a cancer.

And some of those supposed morons are also people who give their labour, their bedsheets, their homes to help the dead and injured. And some are people like Griff and the Guys at Mumbai Help – check out http://mumbaihelp.blogspot.com/ for updates and http://groups.google.com/group/BombayHelp to monitor comments.

Just one thing. Unless you’re my one surviving grandparent, don’t talk to me about God for a while, OK? Or I might just drop-kick your head up your arse.

:( I hate being scared.

Heard it on the radio early morning here in Australia. Was moved to tears. No words for these cowards, yes you are right, these morons have to be removed, no let ups.

Cancer. Yes. Try saying that in public though, damp-eyed politically correct bleeding hearts will chop your head off. Bloody cretins don't even get the irony of their 'be polite!' cries.

This forced-down-your-throat hypocrisy masquerading as pol. c jarrs my nerves like nothing else. Bastards.

Someone butcher these bastards and feed them to their families. Disgusting! Haven't slept the night, worried stiff about a very close friend. Got to know she's safe only early this morning. But is she?

we all just got a little sadder and a little older.

At times like this, I wish I lived in a really, really, really small town and not in this scary big city where things can go wrong with such magnitude...

I too am struggling with the concept of god and His 'mysterious ways'.

Its scary - always wondering if your family will get together in the evening after work . I cannot even begin to wonder at our throroughly incompetent intelligence system and its sheer stupidity in not being able to detect a planning of this magnitude . And the less said about politicians and their ever ready spiels, the better .I am beginning to think that terrorism has no religion ..

Ph, I know. This is the world our children grow up in.

Aravind, the problem is finding the blighters; they have the easy option, killing innocents. We don't.

Rimi, what's politically incorrect about excising pus?

Priya, bad feeling. Hope she got in touch.

T Rasa, I think we turned grey inside many years ago.

Rohini, evil can find us anywhere. It's within us.

30, I notice you don't raise the possibility of a female godhead in this context.

Eve's Lungs, I think religion is more often than not a part of terrorism.

God is not responsible for what happened in Mumbai. People who follow a certain kind of God are.

But you already knew that.

What we needed was solid intelligence.
But then we do not build institutions. We bring down established ones when we play our little power games. No gurukul seems to survive the guru.
Then such shall be our fate.
