what an ending...

the first day of the last month.
the last post was on the second day of the first month.
what a year this has been.
terrorists brazenly walking in from the sea, entering mumbai and plucking out lives. as if there's neither law nor sensitivity left. if this is all it takes to appease god & religion--- or is it simply the lure of money in some cases? if this is all it takes, then let's wipe out god & religion from the face of the earth and hide them in our hearts. who'll find them then? who'll fight for what they can't see?
when those who rule this land continue with their vacuous, guarded, yellow ruminations, the brave will rise up and act.

youngsters with blind eyes and itchy fingers, frozen hearts that can't distinguish between faith and indoctrination. what wounds have caused them to inflict such destruction? will no one feel safe again? will our land be our cremation ground strewn with ashes of hope and courage?
empty words!
what will happen will happen.
the brave will rise up to shore up our defences. the brave will rise up.
when those who rule this land continue with their vacuous, guarded, yellow ruminations, the brave will rise up and act. let there be no more such surprises. let's be prepared to face the worst. or stay home locked up forever. for these rulers are not people to look up to.
we've split so much that from a country we've degenerated into groups and sub-groups and pathetic little divisions that no one can count.
democracy doesn't deserve us!
democracy as it is practised today in india is about dynasty rule, parochialism, bravado, exploiting voter vulnerability and a rare unique selfishness that sees only power and its comforts and ignores the swamp next door.
democracy has degenerated in this country. brave, politically correct words have become redundant and irrelevant. we need to take a different step forward.
those young terrorists entered through a chipped and worn-out door. let's fashion a new, stronger door and move it to a safer place.
let's join together to rule. and not allow these greedy dynasties to continue to pretend democracy.
let's begin.
