At the Crossroads

The Best and Worst


The other day one of my fren wanted to know the best and worst thing happened to me in the past week. It really had me thinking. How do i seperate the good moments from the bad ones ,they so inextricably interwined that one gets meaningless without the other. We yearn for better times nevertheless. This is the time of the year when B-schools releases the final list of candidates to be admitted for the forthcoming year. Loads a my frens are moving out as they have gotten into one bschool or the other. I failed to make it to the iims and the rest i did not bother much. This bit can be added to my baddies list. I dont wanna put off my mba plans for long as am growing old by day and i wouldn't wanna be the oldest in class. Depressing prospect hmm...

Series of bomb blasts that rocked the nation has led to much fear and panick. Revenge and retaliation has made life of common man miserable. Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, as a retaliatory measure the Islamic terrorist blew Mumbai in 1993 leaving a thousand innocent dead. Ever since there has been no stopping. Communal riots have become the order of the day and the ones affected are common man. The killers go scotfree or are awarded some years in jail with a minimal penalty. The govt spends millions on feeding them and eventually releases them after the completion of the term. Ultimately its the govt that has to be held responsible.
* The govt must take measures to beef-up security in religious places, airports, railways, as they have been major targets in the past.
* Induct more people in the police force and inculcate patriotism and other moral values in them.
* The moment a suspect is held and is proven guilty, he must be hanged or shot as it is followed in the Gulf
* Use technology to minimize effects of terrorism.
Lots have been done and said but nothing seem to have worked in favour of the common man.Lets hope for better times ;)
