Dear friends and foes.....After a lot of thought I am writing this...
Mumbai was AGAIN the victim of a terror attack, I don't know what number is it..... In 2008 its the 7 or 8th attack on our nation...... This was something preposterous, the audacity of it all.....I don't want to go the entire way of condemning the attack, praising the security forces etc.I just want to say to you people, fight it..... fight it as you are supposed to.....This is war on us ..... So folks fight the war.... don't die a cowards death..... remember don't colour this with religion or any 'ism' ..... fight for ur life.....as long as u listen people will divide u.... in a country its abt State(Raj Thackeray) in a state, its about region(vidarbha, telengana, every state people have their divisions), in a region its caste, class, origin, descent ..... in every caste ask ur parents there are a thousand divisions..... i know in nairs there are nair, pillai's and menons and other 'n' types, with northern ones and southern ones........each fighting for their superiority. In brahmins u have classes, muslims have it too(sunni, shia sayyeds, ansaris), christians(protestant,catholics, dalits) have it too....... In India we would divide till we stand alone..... This is because we get benefits out of it...... We criticise north south east or west..... not criticise but ridicule every other human .... and we don't take it lightly when others do so to us ..... Hate continues...... spread by us.... Yes think it over.... its spread by us.... even educated MBA's.... you dont criticise rajnikanth( if u dont like him) but the entire south indian population.....South indians dont criticise Lallu nd Mulayam, they do it to all 'Bhaiyas' .... we dont speak ill of Thackerays .... we drag the marathi 'manoos' along..... we r relentless on sardars, bhadraloks, jats, gulti, gujju, anyone and everyone...... Think it over, aren't we bigots?...... the alienation is inherent we do it.... nd then the politicians flag it..... they just take what we inherently have, and you think haan yaar theek bol rha hai....... and thats the way Hate goes..... then riots come..... then terrorists..... All please think it over.....dont be judgemental on peoples' tastes, they vary, and its good they do..... or the entire world would be after ur wife or gf, and trust me! you are not the smartest or the biggest or the richest! Then dont be insensitive..... fight terror , here are some ways that came to my mind.... At all security points, have all Ids displayed make it a habit..... Dont enter office if you forget you ID..... You are not smart if you dodge security. Its you who gets killed.Make sure the guard stationed checks you and the others, even politicians...... Any lapse you notice, report.For people who have the urge to fight more..... Report any type of laxity in security you find and press charges or go the whole way..... Drag them to court or use Right to information or any other godammed fundamental right.....Share information ..... if people know how to fight they would. Be the beacon show the way....... search the net, come up with laws or ways to make the government listen.you forward a hundred mails daily, either u make those humorous mails or somebody does..... reply to them that.... I have noticed this thing..... how do I make the government listen to this.....make them spend time and effort and use their ingenuity to fight terror. make a blog to fight terror....vote, talk, do what you can........ add to this list..... change the list ..... but THINK and ACTAt any point of time if you come across a terrorist, you should have the moral authority and the belief in your ideals to brainwash him....... have a reality check on your ideals, morals everything.......and please have the guts to follow them, not take shortcuts....when Jesus asked for a person who has committed no crime to throw the stone...... all backed out...... We should not back off..... because we have always broken rules or because we have always fought or dodged every security guard that we come across(when he is just doing his duty and saving our life) These are how some of my thoughts..... Please be sure to let me know.... If I need to correct myself..... I have to listen and I have to FIGHT..... because I want to Live.... in a vibrant country that i love, called..... INDIA Jai Hind

Kasab who was captured on Wednesday revealed that the group numbering 12 travelled from Rawalpindi to Karachi and them from Karachi to Mumbai.
The port from which they had boarded is controlled by Dawood. Sources said that all the terrorists trained and brainwashed in Pakistan.
Kamal's blood and urine test showed that he was under the influence of drugs, which reportedly helped the terrorists sustain themselves during the attacks by the security forces.
All the terrorists had also been instructed to kill till their death.
One group of terrorists had also done a recce of the targets that they planned to attack about four months ago.
All the terrorists were trained at Mangla Dam near Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. They also underwent marine training.

They shot at whatever moved: Eyewitness-NDTV
Shocked, their voices trembling, French witnesses gave harrowing accounts on Friday of hiding under restaurant tables and running from explosions as India's financial hub Mumbai came under attack.Johana, a 24-year-old tourist travelling with her cousin, was having dinner at the Leopold restaurant in Mumbai's Colaba tourist district when she spotted several young men with large rucksacks slung over their shoulders."They took weapons out of their sacks, lobbed three grenades and began shooting at anything that moved with their automatic weapons. There were several dead," Johana said at a Paris airport soon after her arrival.The tourist, who declined to give her full name, described the assailants as young men whose faces were not covered and "looked Indian"."People ran out of the restaurant while others, like us, hid under the tables. Some found refuge in the kitchens and they didn't make it," she recounted, her voice shaking.After ten minutes of gunfire, the two terrified young tourists left the restaurant and ventured out into streets that were crowded with people looking for cover.They heard several explosions coming from the direction of the Taj Mahal, one of two luxury hotels targeted by Islamist militants in a string of attacks that left several people dead.French businessman Gilles Andrier said he was seated at a table with 15 financial analysts at the restaurant of the five-star Oberoi/Trident hotel when the violence erupted.
