Today is a very sad day for my country
We have been dealing with terrorism for a very long time, but this year the number of attacks and the sheer variety seem to be increasing. With them increasingly targeting civilian locations like hospitals some time back to hotels in the most recent attack, it will not be surprising if many of us will now have many changes coming in our day to day lives. All that is in the future.
I don't know how the killers think people will sympathize with them if they resort to such acts. I find it difficult to vent all my anger at the terrorists in English. To other Indians on the list, I know you share the same sorrow with me. This is not what our country is about and we know it. I am sure it hurts the rest of you in the same way as it does me, because we end up using so many resources combating terrorism and other such problems rather than spending the money on infrastructure or things like education and health care.
I expect a more coherent response once things settle down. Meanwhile, like always we will not cow down and learn to live with severely curtailed resources and still manage to earn our living and we will help each other out and probably they do not understand that when something like this happens, they make us forget our regional identities and remember our national identity.
I mourn the country we could have been, I mourn the nameless people who have lost their lives over the years to the terrorists, I mourn the recent victims and I keep praying that it never happens again.
