Enough is Enough!
The recent Mumbai attacks have left me flabbergasted. It just goes to show how pathetically vulnerable we are. I recently visited Mumbai and I just could not believe the scenes that were unfolding on the tube. This time around the enormity & the severity of the incident is just too great to be ignored. It's as if someone enters your home, ravages it and you the only thing you can do is to be a mute spectator!
We as citizens of this country are entitled to security from these kinds of incidents. It is high time now that politicians undertake governance rather than indulging in Politics. I wonder what happened to the party which was formed by a group of intellectuals (including IITians, MBA grads). India now needs a sensible governance now. A hopefully good step in this direction is the formation of the Professionals Party of India. We need to infuse professionalism in the parliament... For once, let the IAS officers take charge of our nations instead of playing second fiddle to the toothless "Babus". Our country's future is very much in our hands... time has come to take the ownership and let go of the tragic past.
We must stop this "chalta hai" attitude of ours and stop Negotiating & reconciling with circumstances. It is quite irritating to see all news channels flooded with "serious" discussions after each and every attack on the nation. Advising and lecturing about what is to be done is one of the easiest thing to do and this is what is done in abundance in our nation. I salute the heroes who have laid down their lives for our Nation's security. I strongly believe that defence and security personnel should be paid 8 to 10% more salary than government employees... at least we taxpayers would be satisfied that our money is going in the right direction!
