Maximum BullShit!!!

The Bombay firings are sad, my prayers for the souls of those dead to rest in peace and for their near and dear to be able to develop enough courage to get over this agony.

Although the firings are sad , whats sadder still is that the educated, the rich of India are clueless about what they can do to help in this hour of crisis. Yes that list includes me too. That said when you cant do something good, its better not to do something harmful. You can sit silently and think of ways to help, voice your concern(is as little words as possible) and pray for the affected, try and improve national fervor- make people more patriotic. But that said ironically the educated that i am close with these days had the following to say

disclaimer : These are not my words, these are words of some educated (highly educated) but (IMHO)immature Indians.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It’s time that we pull up our socks and said that enough is enough………..It’s time we questioned our senile polity about what is being done to ensure our safety………… It’s time we stop we stop feeling and being so helpless…………"

"Its very easy to say enough is enough – what do you suggest we should do ? Go to war with Pakistan? Kill innocent Pakistanis in return? Its easy to ramble – how about some constructive suggestions, thoughts . . . . What happened to peace and prosperity – what happened to love thy neighbour – what happened to forgive and forget."

"But aren’t we have forgotten too much. Whenever there is bomb blast, we all forget it in a week. And go on with our lives. Cause by God’s grace, we did not have to go through the pain ourselves."

"Keep on forgiving, keep on forgetting and keep on reliving these moments. "

"I think we need to boycott a government which due to its inefficiency is becoming a source of pains of many fellow nations.. Killing is not an option, but pain points have to be cut out.. There is a limit to everything.. "

"Just because we haven’t retaliated ever….we are looked at as a soft nation…attack at will…kill…and kill again…Some kind of deterrence has to be developed. Forgiveness won’t buy us that."

I am not sure if i am the only one who sees immaturity in all that talk, also am I the only one to notice that these people are adding to the problem by increasing the tension and through war of words and what more they haven't suggested a single thing that will help alleviate the pain, solve the problem, control terrorism.

So am I suggesting that people who cant do shouldn't talk. Not exactly , but these are people who are after big money(bigger pay cheques), these are people who wouldn't miss a day of opportunity to get richer or secure their future, these are people who would probably never volunteer to fight for the country and to me it seems hypocritical that these are the people who talk all these big words. (My apologies for the generalizing but then "some of these people" at every place i used these looks weird). Whats even more interesting some of them don't even have a voters id card or have at least skipped a couple of elections. hmmm........................

Ya i am no good either, i vote and all that , but know of no solution to the problem, so till the time I find a solution all i can say is be sensible dont flare up like the people above, most problems get aggravated cos someone chose to get flared up when he/she shouldnt have , dont spread rumours, dont give aggravated speeches and pray for those affected. (btw if you do know of a solution please stand up)

P.S: on another note, i cant believe TV channels are back at it, they are trying to improve their TRP by making people cry, what kind of a dumb idiotic question to an affected is "how do you feel now that you know you are safe here and your loved one is trapped inside as a hostage" obviously they feel sad, bad and the whole world knows it. Stop being so business minded BD and stop conducting interviews that will pierce knives into the wounded hearts.
