The terrorist attack in Lahore on the Sri Lanka team shamelessly takes on the Pak. Administration's claims and the denial mode of its political set-up to the naked use of fundamentalist and hard-core elements being nurtured on its soil ; whose staple diet is human blood and flesh. The constant bickering, narrow mindset, and the monstrous egoism perpetrated by the successive govts. coupled with their ever- ready to deny stance without action on any positive front has had the monster rear its head right under their nose.

Nothing could have been more disrespectful than to be proven hollow on their promise of safety for the team on its soil. Nothing could have been more disgusting than to keep denying the fire in the backyard when the whole world could see the smoke emanating. Nothing could have been more sadistic than to smile with the cosmetics doing the curves. Pakistan must admit in no uncertain terms to be a haven of terrorism, a part of the game that destabilises the equilibrium of peace and brotherhood living, a part of the swing whose one end is in the hands of fanatics. Nothing could have been more disgraceful than to keep denying the world despite common-sense proof of its land and people being involved in the heinous Mumbai attack.

The use of sophisticated grammar by Pak.'s Foreign Minister and his cronies has now fully run out of steam and it is high time that the responsible people of Pakistan start calling a spade -a spade, and accept that the demon which they created to be used against India has boomeranged on their face with such a ferocity that their own respectful position in international arena stands trampled and dubious.

As Tony Blair once said ---- IT'S BETTER TO LOSE DOING A RIGHT THING THAN TO WIN DOING A WRONG THING........ Pakistan must see the writing on the wall and accept its limitations for its only when one accepts its limitations that one can afford to go beyond them..............To keep walking with eyes blind-folded by fanatics and egoism that knows no human sentiments ...........Pakistan shamefully has chosen to be a laughing stock in the international market............................

THE POLYTHENE MENANCE.........

Finally the million dollar question has been solved or an attempt made in that direction. Fines to the tune of 1 lac and imprisonment has acted as a good deterrent to the polythene use that had become a bit too casual. Even the educated elite including the most savvy and happening ladies of the town would ask for a polythene on a purchase of a mere one strip of crocin. Apalling were the sights of dogs running away with the garbage of polybags and then spilling it on the roads making the whole environment vulnerable to infinitly new breed of parasites. The Mumbai
floods had polythenes as its main culprit as the drains were found choked with it.

But there is another twist to the story. It throws a dice which is to be deciphered. If such a harsh fine can cause such an immediate change of heart in the civil sense of the people, why can't we see a look-alike effect on the other aberrations of the society as well. How is it that a transport bus which keeps mowing down people and destroy the families- has its drivers running on the same route within days or a spoilt brat of a rich father is out on bail even before he is arrested after a killing spree under the influence of liqour. Why are tinted glasses attaining more popularity despite the Supreme Court's ban on it. Why has the issue of smoking remained a playing toy in the hands Rmadoss. Why are cattle still ruling the roost at the traffic signals of Defence colony and posing a threat to the millions of commuters despite being a Supreme Court ruling. Why are child labour laws being mocked at. Why are pan shops within 100 mts of school premises still in operation at Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan and Mayur Vihar. Why has the amnistration not been able to check rash, underage and triple driving despite very explicit guidelines to that effect. Why do we have increase in mobile pubs just after 5 p.m. with music at its loudest best providing the impetus to the occupants to bolden up for any oogling culminating into the likes of Swiss rape in tinted glass.

The answer to all the above is actually the willingness and an urge to do and act as the law demands them to be. Is the modesty of a woman or a human life more important than the polythene pollution and the global warming. Why is still a mockery being made of the rule of the land. If we can seemigly see such a wide change in the polythene laws....why can't we see a total ban on the manufacture of spurious drugs and its channelisation or money changing hands even for the purchase of coffins or mid-day meals funds being diverted with same impunity as the cement bags or bitumin amalgamation during carpeting of roads.........

A mere fine in thousands even after rash driving resulting in culmination of human lives and one lac penalty for dispensing in polythene bags .................definitely the dice has to be deciphered and willingness without a corrupt mindset can arrest many an abnormalities...........

DEMOCRACY AT ITS WEIRD ENDS.............

The cruelty of a few wolves masquerading as humans and that too donning the police uniforms....couldn't have been at its worst ebb........ Beating a poor girl who can't even manage a two square meal , under the charge that she stole 280 Rs. speaks volumes of the scarcity of any appreciable sensibilities that this breed of headstrong force seems to possess......pulling both ways by her hair,,,slapping her ,,,,and that too in full t.v. camears....shows the arrogant guts seeped in demon - stinking values that these protectors of law seem to possess.......

where is Menaka Gandhi or Prashant Bhushan or those N.G.O.s who seem not to miss a chance to hog the limelight........ or isn't it a weird case of democracy going the headless direction,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Democracy that's .........unanswerable , unaccountable , opaque and cruel...............

LACKAISDAL LAWS.........

Not even when the judgement in the old-age BMW finished doing the rounds of intelligent analysis, was another BMW killing the bikers and leaving the place in another car only to be nabbed while fleeing from I.S.B.T. Shockingly enough the culprit was bailed within 4 hours while the rich father wailed his inocence. And if this wasn't enough to break the back of the commuters, another BMW surfaced its fangs in hit and run case...................

Enough is enough..................but I still vouch there will be more of these headlines in the wake of non-existent police check in the colony lanes (where death is one accelerator away) under the garb of low police strength...................well haven't we seen the good and punctual policeman knocking at the doors when one unloads handful of bricks and sand for some minute alteration in the remotest of lanes................

LIFE BEYOND THE BLAST'S FIRST FEW MEDIA-STAEMENTS

All those politically coloured, sympathetic sounding statements of our ever so media-hungry politicians who don't miss out a chance to visit the sight of the massacre and announce a deluge of benefits for the victims seem to have met its Waterloo just 72 hrs. of its conception. The severe shortage of anti-gangrene serum costing Rs. 20,000 a vial, that could save the victims (already unable to come to terms with reality) from being maimed amidst the loud protests of the best treatment at govt. cost has proved to be a cruel joke on the face of the unsuspecting bed-ridden people for whom one blast changed the landscape of their future.

As our politicians are too shameless to accept this and find a way out of this State bestowed handicapped life, its only at the mercy of their fate that these victims are left to. Well not much takers to organise a bandh or an agitation for this JUST cause nor Sushma Swaraj at her loud decibel ed famous threat to shave her head off .......perhaps no Mamta Bannerjees or Brinda Karats or for that matter the famous Maneka Gandhi who finds cruelty to animals at the drop of a hat more politically gaining than the State sponsored cruelity to victims in not even meeting the basic medical requirements. One look at the Sarojini Nagar or the Meerut fire victims would expose the real gulf b/n the dream promises and reality faced by these victims.

I am sure if any politician would have been burnt in the blasts he would by now be in U.S. at State expense....or have the media and public memory been short enough to rememeber the 1991 Bombay blast victim who had 45 operations at the cost of Rs. 60 lacs to remove the glass splinters and the govt. paid him a mere 1 lac for his treatment............ Mr. Ramadoss would find this a better topic than the infamous Venugopal saga where his personal intervention went much beyond the required attention and provide the victims the best possible anti-gangrene serum vials ...well wasn't he the one who reminded the doctors to abstain the reservation protests as the ethics of profession so demand.................but the million dollar question is ----Who will remind these insensitive, undeserving politicians their ethics of serving the nation and the prosperity of its subjects...................?????????????

WELL ISN'T MY INDIA SHINNING ...........................with arsony, goondiasm, strikes, agitations, police laathi-charge, chakka-jams...............and now maimed citizens as the state turns a blind eye in providing the medical facilities...........

FASHION STATEMENT OF SHIVRAJ PATIL.

Our Desi Nero sure was dancing to the tune of immaculate sense of dressing when Delhi was rocking with serial bomb blasts. He changed his attire at almost the same precision of frequency as the serial blasts. The serial dress-changer kept his date with smartness in clothes better than in the sincerity of gauging the security threat that the world's largest democracy is ridiculously seeped in.

Well that's the Home Minister of our great Nation for whom I always had the great respect of being a statesman until he choose to be the playboy of the fabric industry and be their advertising mascot rather than be the tough mascot of protecting the 1.2 billion people of the world's seventh largest nation.

His roar of the day that he has the blessings of the party high command shows the height of sycophancy amidst the terrorist threats that appear to sabotage nation's peace. Such a statement displays the vac cum of healthy sense of reasoning, logic, political acumen, vision, confidence and guts that's expected of a person holding such an important and sensitive post. The so called Congress high-command must come out of these puppets in the top slots and stop being the butt of hilarious laughters and near maddening display of priorities over National Security that gives the strikers to have the last laugh.

WHY NOT ON TERRORISM............

Why don't the perpetrators of goondaism and and his mentor (who must be repenting to have included him in his bandwagon), go on agitations and strikes on the (security issue) and see that no one dares to use the Marathi land for sending mails and accept responsibility for the bomb blasts occurring at every corner of the country. Beating up taxi drivers and others for the sake of being a Bihari, or of a Hindi speaking origin or being a Muslim-christian, shows the paucity of any constructive plans that can be guided to a better prospectus.

Violence and bringing the whole city to a standstill is surely no long-term mantra to be in the limelight. Hitting out and using a disrespectful street language to a senior top police officer K.L.Prasad is surely a display of sick mentality of the person who thinks himself to be the self-appointed marshal of Mumbaikars.
