A Spineless Nation!

The Samurai just wonders... is this what India is all about? Petty politicking to feather one's nest and no patriotism ... just bickering and lip service. The ruling party has been acting like a wuss for a long time now, their incapability to control terrorism, removal of POTA, appeasing statements to terrorists... all of this has led the nation to a state of hopelessness.. A state where you have blasts and firings everyother day and the value of life is at its lowest.... I see some status messages on gtalk which say "Just Another day... firings, blasts and more deaths".... That ladies and gentlemen says it all....

Sad isn't it??? Some clowns attacked US and they made sure they taught the perpetrators of crime a lesson... Israel has been doing it for years.... why cant India do it? Till what time will they continue with this soft , weak response? How much is enough? First up the government should be taken to task!! What have they done to keep the country secure?? If anything.. they have failed miserably.. once twice... again and again... India has a hostile neighbourhood.... Even termite sized countries are now showing us teeth on our eastern borders... When is India going to stand up and show some authority and as Dubya says... "Smoke them out of their caves!!"

When will India target the section of population which is the miscreant without targetting any particular religion? When will India' s self-acclaimed leaders in the ruling party stop the appeasment policies for vote purposes? When will the world stop taking us for granted?? As a sad Indian listening to some incredibly stupid analysis in a foreign country on a channel which often calls itself as the best TV channel in the world!! They still do not accept the perpetrators were trained and funded by our neighbours! 

Shivraj Patil quitting as HM or PC taking over the role...will not help. Where are the concrete measures... Our PM looked more like a mouse when addrsssing the nation. All Bush jokes aside... his response to 9/11 was very heartening... All follies aside, he has ensured that 9/11 like things never happend again in US... That is action... 

Hope is what guides the Samurai!! Will the true Indian stand up? Will we finally show some spine and do a crackdown on terror? Hope Floats......

Music changes things!! 

Tell me about it! When selling seems like banging your head against a iron wall, when whatever you do turns cropper, when one keeps telling "you belong" to oneself and still results do not show up, trust the Samurai it is not a pleasent feeling to have at all . But then whoever said it was going to be available on a platter!! The going is tough!! ..That in a nutshell sums up how things are going.... There have been a few bright moments as well,  the grey honda accord, some good friends here.... But in general things have not been lookin up. Last couple of weeks, the mornings have not really given a "this is your day"kind of message to the Samurai. So when one of the friends shared some good music, he was like.. wonder how much that will help... Played the songs in the morning and trust me everything seemed normal again. The zing was back and it felt like a good day. The mood is chirpy and hencethe blog!! So friends no magic pill... no divine enlightenment, but  just the thought that good music can change things, a cheerful mood dragged the Samurai to get back to blogging for the umpteeenth time. Hope this stays!  Note Atul, a blog on Dada and my driving exploits :P is still on!!

So long!

cheers,
The Samurai
