It’s been almost a week to the terror attacks and all of India has gone into an overdrive. Political action aside, citizens are so enraged they are planning all kinds of citizen protests, actions etc. We’re all feeling passionately about this whole episode, but there needs to be some level of practical thinking we need to have. For example, there have been these pleas running on radios, SMSs, emails etc for a congregation near Gate way of India tomorrow at 6. (3rd Dec)

Gosh! Can you imagine if we have any of the balance terrorists still loose in the city? The telly has been reporting that they’ve gotten 10 so far and there might be a very real possibility of more of them who got away. If they did and if they have some means of blowing people up, then this meeting will be like icing on the cake. A whole lot of people in the one place they surveyed so well. Their target of 5000 might still be achieved.

I’m sure no one is thinking about the security aspects of this meeting. The police is already exhausted with all the blaming, running around, trying to pick up their skirts and do something that I’m not too sure if they will be thinking about putting the right security measures that such a large gathering would need.

Might just be another example of how we are such sitting ducks for terror, albeit passionate and united ones!
