A Salute to the Martyrs of Mumbai

The night of 26th Nov, 2008 has made its marks in the history of India but all for wrong reasons. Few terrorist armed with modern weapons started firing blindly as if they were playing some latest video game and were scoring points by killing innocent people. The horrifying experience that startled the whole world ended after around 60 hours of tireless effort from our commandos. Its very difficult to believe that an attack of such magnitude can take place in the commercial capital of India and that also in places like Hotel Taj and oberoi. Well we all know that the terrorist have no religions and its very difficult to realise what goes in their mind but the intelligence failure that has taken place is really worrisome.
Media has termed this incidence as India's 9/11 but they forgot that 9/11 in India has started occurring frequently be it in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad. America has learnt its lesson after just one 9/11 and has not allowed the incidence to re-occur but God knows when will India learn its lesson. At the end of the operation politicians started their duty by giving speeches and announcing compensation to the deceased. Indians started forwarding SMS to lit candle in memory of the brave commandos and pay homage. I respect their feelings but will the terrorist care for these feelings and stop attacking India. Friends these terrorist should be replied by action and not words. Indian police have been demanding police reforms since a long time but the politicians have no time to think upon it. RPFs at CST railway station were facing the terrorist with lathis in their hand . Security gets beefed up after every attack but that lasts only for few days.
Now the question arises what should be done ? Should Indian intelligence agency and security forces learn from the American and British forces. Lack of proper co-ordination between different Indian forces and the multi level hierarchy causes a major problem in the proper functioning of our forces.
Whatever the attitude of our politicians might be our brave forces never think twice before jumping into the war to save the life of Innocent Indians. We salute the Martyrs from our heart and hope their sacrifice would act as an eye opener before its too late.
May your soul rest in peace

Finally the kangaroos under the Tiger's Paw

At last team India has achieved what every Indian cricket fans dream of. The 2-0 win over Australia in Border-Gavaskar Trophy has proved that the young warriors have matured. Now we are ranked No. 2 (Still behind Australia) in ICC test team ranking. But are we on the verge of breaking the dominance of Australian team. Probably yes. Some of the critics are skeptic that with the retirement of Ganguly and Kumble a void would be created in the dressing room and that may hamper the team prospect of becoming number one. The charismatic leadership of M.S. Dhoni is already proving them wrong. After showing his leadership quality in the Shorter forms MSD has also proved himself in Test match. Let us hope that the new talents getting in the team are not deciduous in their performance and give a consistent performance and break the polarity in the game. Congrats to team INDIA. DADA and JUMBO
