#%$^&%^*^&$#

It took hardly 24 hours for anti social elements in the country to strike again. Yesterday Bangalore was targeted and today Ahmedabad was victimized. As a pattern mostly smaller centers have been targeted time and again. After Varanasi, Jaipur, Hyderabad it has turned to other cities.
In Ahmedabad all BJP majority areas have been targeted and our dear politicians have already started playing the blame game. It’s apathetic to stoop down to such a level where our leaders see election as an agenda rather than trying to help their countrymen. All these blasts are low intensity which indicates that the only aim is to spread panic than cause loss of life and property.
Media also plays a major role in politicizing the issue. Usually in such cases they often dial up the opposition for their strong views on the issue, which further fans the fire. And we as people who sit in front of our idiot boxes are left with the option of wither cursing such anti social elements or of sending smses to television channels increasing their revenue.
It pains me to see how as a part of this system and media I can only blog or debate to vent out my anger.
