Deccan Mujahidin or Inhuman Beast?
Well its been a long time since I last wrote a post here, and I have no excuses either: I was online for a daily average of 3 hours and I had lots (I mean lots) to write upon! Its not like I wasn’t into writing anymore, I was writing elsewhere but its not of any interest to any readers here so no more of that..
Let me just point out a few points (D-uh) of incidence occurred while I was on this sabbatical of sorts:-
1) Chandrayaan I : A total success
2) The world’s plans to cope up with the economy: A total failure
3) Citi Group, General Motors and many others file for bankruptcy
4) India beats the pants of Australia and England in Cricket... Err... Men’s cricket!
5) The general and exceptionally boring process of apping (I shall write more on it as soon as I actually do apply!)
6) Back to the Gym- No changes yet physically, none predicted!
7) The last holidays of college life… Sigh!
8) To all those who shall not believe me: I have changed in the last 2 weeks… Maybe for the better in my opinion at least
9) The legendary comic character BATMAN is supposed to meet a grisly death in the comic dated 27th November (Hey that’s today!)
10) And finally the topic that shook me enough to get me back here: Terror at the next level in Mumbai:-
Today morning at 6:47 am I got an sms from MyToday services (No, I am not a freak, the phone tells me when it came) and as usual I expected it to a new word (You MUST have a look at MyToday services, there is something for everyone there)… However it was this:-
"BREAKING NEWS: MASSIVE TERROR ATTACK RIPS THROUGH INDIA’S BUSINESS CAPITAL – Firing, bomb blasts at several places across Mumbai; several dead"
That was enough to remove any remnants of sleep from me and I rushed to see the news on TV…
I was still seeing it 4 hours later and would still have been there if it were not for a blasted (Pun intended) power cut… Man, today was a powerful morning! It began with incessant firing at the Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus at the Mumbai Airport and soon the mayhem spread elsewhere. The news channels were showing it all along and kudos to the brave news crews risking harm to bring the latest updates. NDTV 24x7 especially was great in covering this and I shall remember two words the anchor Vishnu Shom said: “Unimaginable Horror” for that’s what it was- Over 100 dead, 150 injured, and as I write this close to 300 civilians (Mostly foreign nationals, especially Israelites) are still held hostage by a terrorist group who call themselves the Deccan Mujahidin.

WHAT THE F**K?? Don’t you people have something else to do, you pieces of sh*t? It is people like you who give the human race itself a bad name, and I shudder to think the reaction and consequences if you turned out to be an Islamic group!
An ambulance rushes to get the victims to the Kama hospital, little knowing the hospital itself was under terrorist control
A reporter speaking on her phone in sight of the ghastly fire in the old tower of The Taj Hotel, Mumbai
The central dome piece of the Taj Hotel, not there anymore!
Innocent by-standers left helpless at the cowardly attack late at night
Over 800 army personnel, 300 National Security Guard (NSG) commandos and numerous members of the Mumbai police and the Anti Terror Squad (ATS) are at the over 11 places of action including the hotspots of The Taj Hotel and the Oberoi Trident where there are fires to be battled and hostages to be rescued.. I can NEVER forget the part where a trapped guest Deepak spoke to NDTV via mobile phone and described the scene of horror there.. May Courage be with the people under seige in Mumbai!
As I write this (My hands are actually shaking) I see that the head of ATS Hemanth Karkare, the additional commissioner of Mumbai police and many others have succumbed to injury/ shot dead.. 5 terrorists are dead, 3 captured alive while the rest are still unaccounted. I hope this ends soon for the incident has grabbed the interest of the entire world who recognise this as the biggest planned international terror conspiracy ever!

Why us again? Is India that big a target? Maybe I should be proud that terrorists look to desiccate the harmony of Indians more than any other nation but all I want is to be safe, it was Mumbai today: Who’s to say My home town isn’t next?? Is not the right to live safely in co-existence what being human is all about??
