It has been a month and some days since I last made a post , so here goes . I couldn't post these days because I was caught up with my exams . Of course there were a couple of really easy ones , but I am really worried about my digital signal processing exam . I had a severe headache and I didn't do it any justice whatsoever .
So moving out of my abysmal performance in the examinations , I am thinking about certain things that happened at the start of my holidays . I am still bewildered how a small bunch of terrorists got the better of the puissant Indian security and intelligence systems . All credit to the N.S.G. for the awesome job they did . Just wondering , how with all these measures in place could the dastard bevy do what they did ?
And these vile insolent power greedy politicians, ridiculing the ones in power . The day when Nehru said "I may be late to the assembly today , because the traffic is heavy" , he didn't have those commandos with him for his protection . And u see all these so called 'leaders' have all the protection they need which leaves a void in the security when needed . I got an sms forward that cleanly stated what privileges a member of parliament enjoys . Counting by the fact , 37.45% of the total tax money collected is spent on the M.P's alone . Imagine the other levels in the hierarchy . Who says India is a financially poor country ? The money is not helping develop the economy . Just imagine the use to which the money can be put to .
I can't light a candle and obliviate all those images I saw in television . My father just left Mumbai some time prior to those attacks . I am angry . I see only resentment and pain , not any victory . There is no reason to celebrate over the success , no reason to plant the tricolor outside the Taj . Just ten insane maniacs had the potential to consternate an empire of over a billion for 60 hours . Shouldn't we fight back ? If the government can't save us , let the army rule . I am fed up with the subtle speeches of the politicians , they fail to soothe my anger . And yet there are the others who see this as an opportunity to gain power . What are they going to do when they get power ? Give the same speeches . Despicable! Look at the country frankly now . It is unsafe , corruption breeding everywhere . Indians need leaders , who are matured enough to think that with power comes responsibility not just money .
For all that happened the champions league has been canceled . At least the english ( just noticing , the word "english" is not in the chrome auto correct dictionary ! ) cricketers are not poltroons . They are ready to return for a test series . And all this has to happen when the cricket in India is at a really good spirit . Man ! what an awesome show ! Defeating the champion Australians at Australia and at home back-to-back , now that is preponderance. I just wish that the champions league , the commonwealth games and the world cup are not relocated . It would be awesome if it were not relocated .
Hopefully it won't rain during the english play here at Chepauk . Chennai , the most knowledgeable crowd in the world , where cricket is a religion followed in almost all the doors , the recent past have always been wet . The dry city on almost all the other days would be devoid of rain . Luck has run out of the city that celebrates the most number of cricket academies in the world . Apart from a pass in my D.S.P. the other thing that I am praying god is that at least this time the situation won't be overcast .
Before i sign off for this blog , a silent prayer to all those who laid their lives in the tragedy . Praying god that such a thing will never show its ugly face again , any where in the world .
