State of the Nation

Terrorists plan a series of blasts across the nation ...first 8 now 17 !!?!!!! And nobody knew it beforehand? Nobody? If only the country's politicians were less obsessed with holding their positions of power by playing dirty politics ... And what happens next? "The matter is being looked into and a committee has been set up." Committees and more committees ! Sitting over cups of 'chai-paani' and deciding the date of the next meeting, while some other blasts are being planned. Yeah, of course, the 'spirit of the city' in getting back on track is surely lauded. Spirit?? Crap. Even now, they're busy blaming one another. The alarm has gone off... when do you decide to wake up is the question. Around 15 bombs defused today in Surat ... so the total is 17 + 4 def. + 14 def. = 35 !?!!! Bomb-blasts may not be as rare as they were before, but they're just as grave. Ignoring them means inviting more.
