"Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, came under heinous terrorist attack on November 26, 2008." - From Evidence 1 of the Indian dossier on Mumbai attacks.
Media - our eyes and ears jump in on it to let the nation know about the attacks. Quickly its interests change from duty bound to frenzy to rescue hampering to TRP upping. Every politician condemned the attacks. The so called prominent persons from our film fraternity and page-3 club have been put at the desk infront of the cameras to express thier take on these attacks. - Do we look like we give shit about what they think!
Our honorable ministers issued statements after statements with seriously decieving looks on thier faces accusing Pakistan. Piles and piles of evidence gathered everything pointing to ISI and Pak army and the hundreds of terror school faculty all over the rogue land. Day after day the same story is aired over and over again, of course the honorable minister playing OliverTwist infront of the mighty US and the world to put pressure on Pakistan to deliver on our so called iron-clad case.
Almost four months passed by. What happened to the "case" of the commerical capital of India?
"Federal Investigation Agency has informed the government they may have to stop their probe into the Mumbai attacks due to lack of cooperation by India and other countries." - TOI, March 7, 2009.
Well, haven't they all gotten busy...!!
Pakistan's internal turmoil shit hit the media,
Srilankan cricket team was attacked which by the way, I would like to remind everyone, was almost like somebody staged it letting the terror cowboys walk more freely than Mr. Zardari in his own back yard. And of course there is the curious case of the expert ways of Pakistani forensic experts in handling the evidence left behind by the terrorists(allegedly),
then comes the biggy, the Indian elections saga that gets all those damn politicians busy planning to proctect thier pasted butts or to kick those that are pasted to replace em with thier own on the chiars of power - after all its the question of thier investments and what kind of a politician with a sane mind gives a shit about the people and the country these days anyway!
and
Jai Ho!! the Oscar - the man with folded hands and a golden ass that every freaggin flimsy filmy ass goes after to try its tongue on.
Last but definetly by far not the least, I-freaggin-PL and the NewZealand tour. Dhoni's boys won this, lost that, took a pleasure ride off some tower. The Blue men in Red. What the #@*&!
Where did Mumbai go? Its still there fighting and all those families coping. Remembering. Grieving. Accepting that nothing will ever be done.
Where did the media go? Well.. not to worry at all, it surely, I bet my butt on it, will come back when another city is attacked, when another innocent is shot, or some cat is stuck on a tree or when Big B falls sick or Small B sneezes or Bahu B slips on the red carpet somewhere outside the country.
Colour TV for every vote, a Kilo of rice for a rupee, free power for half the nation and a dozen new states for hungry (for power...mind you!) politicians. Come ON... are these guys for real!!
Where are the leaders who acted upon to deliver justice, those who would not rest until its done!
How incredibly sensible it would be if everyone of us followed and acted on those adds on TV asking us to choose wisely and stop this nuisance and utter non-sense.
Its time we did!
Something!
Anything!
