He's fine, thank goodness. Terrorist-trouble has so far been something that happens to other people, on TV. This one was dangerously close to home.

Love the arguments... "They don't 'look' like our lot, so they aren't.".

I read how the deceased policemen got a 5-lakh compensation, and how our Olympic gold-medalist got 3 crores.

That is just wrong.

Abundance probably causes indifference.
I know thats atrocious, but thats all I can think of as the reasoning behind this lack of respect for life.
