India Rocks

The resilient mumbaikar is known all over the world. He struggles in local trains everyday, struggles for a roof over his head. He's seen blasts, riots, murders and the small matter of a deluge. But still he goes on, going about his job in manner that almost borders on being robotic.
As serial blasts rocked the very lifeline of this resilient city, the mumbaikar again rose to the challenge. He helped in getting the dead bodies to mortuaries, the injured to the hospital, while the administration failed him again. His family harrowedly watched news channels for his sight as the multi crore phone line screeched to a halt again in the face of crisis. In all this craze, in all this madness, in this poignant time, you felt that maybe, just maybe we shouldn't be this resilient. Maybe we should show the world that Yes!!, it hurts, and hurts bad.

Perhaps for once the world wouldn't say, "Yeah its bad!! But Mumbai will get over this!!"No we cant we just cant get over this. We have gone through this time and again and for once it will not be OK. Everyday we see scores getting killed on these tracks and yet we move on. We suffer in the rains, we suffer on the trains but still we hang on. But there is a limit. We just cant take it anymore. We just don't want to be told "Everything will be alright!".We want something done. We want to feel secure for once, we want to be able to breath comfortably for a second. Reassurance just wont cut it anymore.

We earn the most capital for this country and what do we get in return? Bloody reassurance. Now its time for us to show that no!!, everything wont be alright till its set right. We refuse to be taken for granted. We refuse to take this lying down and move on. As for resilience, to hell with it!!!
