It is because I belong to a religious minority and I know that in this country any one can make any flimsy excuse any day to come and attack and kill me even inside my residence with full protection, if not assistance, of the police against any kind of resistance from my or my family's side. To top it all, the leaders of such an attack, besides being immune to any kind of prosecution, will probably contest and win elections for parliament or the state assembly later, as a reward for killing me, and might even become ministers in the government of India or the state government.<br /><br />I find the entire Kasab drama a bit amusing, in light of the above.Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-75082230640423742162010-05-15T22:46:24.577+05:302010-05-15T22:46:24.577+05:30http://malini-myvoice.blogspot.com/2010/02/nothing...http://malini-myvoice.blogspot.com/2010/02/nothing-will-happen-its-ok-kuch-nai.htmlmalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842426258433559546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-74440547048983404162010-05-14T18:15:05.189+05:302010-05-14T18:15:05.189+05:30Superb post.

Because I have seen officers making women discard milk bottles that was meant for their infants....under the pretext of following the letter to the "T"! But the larger part of Me does agree with You... security should be just as bind as justice is and that there is much room for improvement with security both at the airport and around our beloved city.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505137423128823662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-6736777605611557822010-05-09T18:44:55.374+05:302010-05-09T18:44:55.374+05:30you are right there are security measures but are ...you are right there are security measures but are not carried out seriously just like our budget we come out with various plans but no proper implementation.<br />We must take security issues seriously proper implementation can save lives lack of the same can kill many lives. what best we can do we should do thats the only simple solution.As for the attitude of people entrusted to implement security measures(not all of course) i dont want to comment honestly there is not much seriousness thats the truth we always wakeup when it is too late and we deserve it for taking things lightly which actually deserve serious thought.Pooja Rathorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842722660077056706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-13458106049319825872010-05-09T18:24:41.323+05:302010-05-09T18:24:41.323+05:30i don't think its our misfortune that he survi...i don't think its our misfortune that he survived. otherwise it would have been easier for Pakistan, to shrug it off as not their problem. we sometimes need a face, not just reports and data.<br /><br />btw why did you take the fish curry after realising you shouldn't do it. even if the cops allowed it, wouldn't you have not wasted their time, if you had simply said, oops i made a mistake, let me throw it away. i know you didn't have any intention of hijacking the plane. but someone could have said, if she could take it, so can i..<br /><br />instead of doing only because we absolutely have to, if we started doing what we were supposed to even if there is none to question us, wouldn't India be better.<br /><br />to use another analogy, a cop accepting a bribe/gift, because the giver gave it willingly doesn't make it right..<br /><br />I think the chalta hai attitude has become a sort of national "pride" and yeah therefore its a deathwish..<br /><br />PS : Bin laden has said he won't attack Sweden..wise donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084116949920234832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-17227048240291496792010-05-09T12:53:07.562+05:302010-05-09T12:53:07.562+05:30Comical?

Most of the times, we take our own system for granted, why don't we behave responsibly than wait and see if we'd be reprimanded or not?!!!

I brought to the notice of the crew that it needed to be empty to be allowed in the luggage. The owner then immediately realised his mistake and said that he had forgotten. I was appalled at the ignorance of the x-ray scanners.Jogeshwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302433204956480730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-87311222595603676632010-05-09T04:16:06.795+05:302010-05-09T04:16:06.795+05:30I am glad you brought up German Bakery, people aro...I am glad you brought up German Bakery, people around me had simply forgotten... what with earthy Godmen, Shoania, IPL, Tharoorgate, volcanoes & flight disruptions, British elections etc fighting for a pie of our mental space.<br /><br />One line sticks like a snag - "It is his misfortune and ours that he survived." How true! But had he died that night would things have been any different?<br /><br />We see and experience the same attitudes while 'trying' to queue in an orderly line, opening the trunk for checking while mall hopping, and as you mentioned at the airport and other places.<br /><br />Just the other day at a popular destination in Delhi there was but one policeman manning his post looking disinterested as ever. If US cant avoid a repeat should we be so callous in our attitudes?<br /><br />I hope some more will be converted (steered in the right direction) after reading this article.

Even if the police gives us the protocols that we must follow we hardly bother. Recently in Kolkata, the police issued a booklet of security measures for citizens along with one of the newspapers. I wonder how many people actually bothered to read it. The security people on the other hand are too peeved with their mechanical jobs, even when they have to check the belonging they give a cursory glance to the paraphernalia and we are too happy to get out of this hassle of checking. <br />It's only when the city is on Red Alert or some attack has taken place ,the security men/women pull up their socks. I am amazed that security agents could be so stupid and callousShhhhh....https://www.blogger.com/profile/02445581764810898746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-20072352366201109432010-05-08T22:54:02.055+05:302010-05-08T22:54:02.055+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Vrindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432945255366644680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-21227309332900581092010-05-08T22:45:13.284+05:302010-05-08T22:45:13.284+05:30The Indians, however, rule in England.
