INTROSPECTION: MUMBAI TERROR ATTACK

Now that the heat over wanting the scalp of the Politicians has cooled down, the common Indian is back to his/her way of life. The Mumbai carnage is slowly becoming history. Except for the print media, no other medium is interested anymore in this. Now is the time for the TV media to organise debates and involve the learned, experienced people on their panels and discuss what all should be done to avoid such an embarassment ever. Now is the time to introspect, think of new methods and try and implement these to safeguard the common man.

No one is trying to analyse as to whether the NSG got delayed. If yes, why? Who was responsible for the delay and how can it be avoided in a future operation. Why did so many Policemen die? What went wrong? What could have saved them while they performed their duty fearlessly? DGP Wirk has given a detailed interview to Pune Mirror, wherein he is supposed to have to some extent blamed the senior policemen for their own death. How far is it true? What could have been done, and now, what should be done to avoid recurrence of such incidents?

Instead of merely playing to the gallery, our experts and specialists should come together and discuss all the issues threadbare so as to reach a proper line of action - to get the best solution. Let these people think out of the box and not remain confined to the time tested theories.

IS ANYBODY LISTENING??

Need For Change?

Yes, there is an urgent need for change. The earlier it happens, lesser will be the damage to our democracy. Someone, while agreeing with me, has posted a big question.... but who will do it? I feel, you, me and each one of us can make the difference. Since we live in a democracy, we need to use the democratic route to achieve our aim. So what is the way out? Create a mass movement (or do we need anothet attack on one of our cities to create a mass movement?). Evereyone, RISE and let the media lap it up and we propose to field our future leaders those whom we feel fit to hold the important offices to run the affairs of our country. Can someoen help me publicise this and other such ideas and create a mass movement to request our honest citizens to contest the next elections. I have given some names those came to mind, and I will request each one who has spared a few moments to read what I have written, to add to the list. The names I thought of, are - Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Mr Ratan Tata, Mr Narayan Moorthy, Mr Nandan Nelikeni (I am not from Infosys), Mr Azim Premji, Mr Deveshwar, Nasiruddin Shah, Gulzar, Jawed Akhtar, Anupam Kher, Kiran Bedi, Gen JJ Singh, Arun Bhatia, Dr T Chandrashekhar, Rahul Gandhi, Milind Deora, Sushma Swaraj, P Chidambaram, Arun Jaitley, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Rajiv Pratap Rudi etc.....
