bombay bleeds once more...

Another joke. Yes, that's what it has become. The city reels yet again. This time it's gun totting terrorists who walked into restaurants, 5 star hotels and railway stations and started shooting at an innocent public. Some going back home after a hard day's work. Bombs blasted in several areas.
Panic spread all around and people started following up on friends and family to find out if all was well. Television channels flashed live footage of bloodstained streets and injured people all around.
The drama continued. By morning, schools and colleges have been declared closed. Most offices followed suit asking employees to stay home. A client asked me to enjoy a day at home while I am getting it. Is this what it has become...? A free unexpected holiday to chill at home. I refused to sit back... driving through empty roads, defying the terror filled atmosphere.
How long till we get back our freedom... our freedom of life, our freedom to live... our freedom to die, without getting killed... How long till the jokers are brought to heel...
