Mumbai Blast

ATTACK, ATTACK AND ATTACKS

Again terror strike in our economic capital: Mumbai. This leave behind (not even behind war is on) so many questions
. Is a regular terror activity (We become to used to these happenings that I am using word regular) or its a Open War? This act of terror left behind question that who all are responsible for present situation: Pakistan, politicians, IB, Muslims, Hindus who all?? This kind of audacious attack takes months of meticulous planning. And as usual our “revered” intelligence agencies were caught napping. This disgusting scenario had become so commonplace, that I wonder, what the fuck is the need for these intelligence agencies, when they fail at a time when we needed them the most.



As I am going through various news channels i can quote that
at least 101 people have been killed in attacks by gunmen in Mumbai. The attacks have taken a tragic toll on the city's top police brass: The high-profile chief of the anti-terror squad Hemant Karkare was killed; Mumbai's additional commissioner of police (east) Ashok Kamte was gunned down outside the Metro; and celebrated encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar was also killed. This a great loss to the country as such as we lose brave fighters in this war.

Question still remain same: when will this end and who all are responsible? Most of us blaming Muslims but on going shor of Hindu terror act (Sadhvi Pragya case) will make picture pretty delusions. Why Muslims are targeted? I have really good friends among them but I never come across such thinking reflected ever in their thoughts (and I know most of you too). My one of very good friend use to greet me on Diwali even when is away from country and sailing in sea , where you have to use a satellite phone to make a call. Is this act of such people? I don't think so. Then why we blame entire community. Is it justified? I left with so many unanswered questions. Present attacks are clear cut indicator of Pakistan's hand in situation. terrorist came through channel of sea, what was our coastguard doing??Were they sleeping as govt is sleeping. I don't think now there is any question to discuss that how we need act like POTA more than before.


Even in this tragic situation politicians are trying to take leverage of situation. I got a message from some one 'Vivek' (As usual you cant see mgs sender's details). Message was in good spirit but still have political affluence. Message was:
Enough is enough, the terrorists have not only attacked mumbai but our national pride. India can no longer afford a weak Government. Mehangi Padi Congress. What did these last words means?? Clearly someone is seeking an opportunity to curse congress indirectly. I never advocate that congress is going right, even they are among having one of very bad time of rule in India. They failed to curb Poverty, Inflation, Depression in economy and most importantly national security. So many Blast!! Can we say there is a govt in India. Have you ever heard of any terror attack after 9/11 in US?? No. Why cant be we so firm in fighting terror act.

I am signing off from post leaving many questions here and thousands in my mind...
God please save my country...

Jai
Hind.

INS Tabar sinks Somali pirate ship

The first time the INS Tabar encountered pirates was on November 11.

In a swift action, warship INS Tabar intervened to thwart two near-simultaneous attacks by pirates on an Indian cargo vessel MV Jag Arnav and a Saudi flag carrier MV NCC Thihama within 25 nautical miles of each other.

The Indian warship received an SOS from the Saudi ship at around 1000 hours after a group of pirates surrounded it. Marine commandos on board the INS Tabar flew out in an armed helicopter and launched an assault on the attackers.

I am a poet and I never knew it...

My first poem:
.......
My Fear
There is a love that I wish to see
But, there is fear reaching out to more
My life is in a constant change more than in puberty
At times, I do not know who can comfort me.
......
I tried to hide behind a door
Today I lost that opening key
While my music plays,
These thoughts of fear will pass over me.
.......
It's dark versus light
Dark's winning the fight
I'm feeling it lately
The darkness had taken me
.......................................................................................................................
Many more to come...

Bye Bye Saurav Chandidass Ganguly!


Farewell to Prince!!

Saurav Ganguly, popularly known as Prince of Kolkata, Dada (big brother), or Maharaj (King), or Bengal Tiger, has played the last day of international cricket today. With this one golden era came to an end.

I am not that hard core fan of prince but no one can underestimate Saurav Ganguly in Indian cricket. He is noted as most successful Indian Captain till date, he is legend that creates fear in opponents mind whether he was batting , bowling or team was playing under his captaincy. Even critic like me who usually fight with friends about his declining performance appreciate One thing is for sure, he was a giant. The ability of Dada to come out from the difficult situations in life and in cricket ground was superb.

He start his career with test century against England at Mecca of cricket: LORDS. He was many times in news for discrimantory decisions by BCCI for his position in team India, but he always have an urge to fight back. Coach of Ganguly said : Indian got indepence 60 years back but cricket in India got free only at NETWEST trophy when Ganguly putoff his shirt from balcony of Lords. This was Ganguly who never give up .
Once a advertisement was there on TV : Kanhi Aap mujhe Bhool to Nahi Gaye? That I laughed a lot about that silly Ad, but Today I can say that No one who even know ABCD of cricket can never forget this great man of acumen and always bring pride for India. Prince you will remain always in our heart and I hope even after your retirement you will continue to give your best to Indian Cricket...

Long Live Dada!!
