Hi ,

I was busy programming on Friday afternoon when my colleges came and told me about the serial blast in Bangalore. I didn't care much initially because i knew my family members were at home and nothing would have happened to them. It took some time for me to realise that my friends or someone whom i might have know might be injured or killed. I got scared now. Luckily it was low intensity bomb and not many people were injured. I spent rest of the day watching knews with anxiety. Next day it was business as usual.

When i hear people have become resilent? i keep questioning my self 1)Do we really care about other indians 2) Have we become so selfish that we dont spend a minute of silence for those who lost their lives?3)Are we just foccused on acheiveing our own personal goals that we dont care about what happens to people around us?

We know how good our politicains are?They need a time and place to put blame on others . If an American is killed,they kill several other people and then invite the enemies for talks or negotiations. In India when so many people are killed by militants we go to Pakistan and have discussion knowing that it wouldnt do any thing much to the situation. Have we become soft on National Interest?We hear in news that bomb explods every now and then. We are hooked to tv sets on that day,next day we forget what happened and carry on with our life. This is the reason why even government doesnt care about people dying. The government swings into action when the Parliment is attacked. Is it because PM or High Governmnet Officalls are their in Parliment?Is normal Indian life no value for government?If the government takes actions its just for few days and then relax waiting for another bomb to explode so that they caan wake up.

Next question comes to mind is what a normal citizen can do for the nation?I believe each one of us should take responsibilty like when ur travelling in public transport,befor u sit down,have a glance of surrondings to see if any bags are left out.This even applies when we are in crownded places.We need to be on guard. I know if we get scared it will be moral victory for militants. We shouldnt even let militants pass off easily every time they inflict wounds on every Indian. I cant blame the government for everything thats happening,but firm measures need to be taken in national security,leaving the politics behind.

Some of the measures government should take is
1)Advertisment about to look around for untouched bags
2)People like 'Amitabh,Sachin and Sharukh' who have large fans following should make an appeal to people to be alert and let the police know of any suspicious people or things
3)Surely there are few policemen than actually required.So there needs to be increase in policemen
4)A Federal Agency which has full authority like FBI,KGB which doesnt get involved in politics and is dedicated for stopping terrorists .We dont want them to be like CBI,RAW,IB which have become in efficent and we find that holes being created very often
5)Human Intelligence and Techinicall stuffs need to be improved

I being Indian feel very bad that i havent done much either.Its time for each one of us that we do what all we can to bring change in India .
