My words are failing me today

Mumbai has seen its darkest day in history. The last 48 hours have defined how helpless and vulnerable we as citizens. The metropolis has suffered again, suffered big time.

Numerous people are pouring news channels with comments, feedback, bloggers all over India writing in, asking questions, but is that all we are reduced to? How many more blasts, deaths do we have to witness till we actually live peacefully in our own country?

See again, all I am doing is question. Sitting in my room, in front of the television behind closed doors, what else can I do?

This is more than just security lapse; this catastrophe suggests that our own people are involved. My heart goes out to these brave army men, NSG commandoes and police. Brave men who lost their lives, no matter what rank they served, which caste or creed they belonged to. Where is Raj Thackeray today when as a self proclaimed leader of Mumbai he is supposed to be visiting victims?

I salute the army, NSG commandoes who without fearing for their lives fought relentlessly. My words are failing me today..
