Are we that callous?

It is with deep anguish and a sense of utter helplessness, that I write this and condemn the act of mindless cruelty meted out to the ordinary citizens of Mumbai. Is is not time, that the machinery woke up to the reality and start treating the issue with iron glove and get itself a anti terrorism law? Stop treating the terror suspects with kidgloves and stop this nonsensical human rights violation cry whenever a suspect is picked from the minority community.  A terrorist is a terrorist irrespective of his caste/creed/religion. He is inhuman and in all probability insane. He should get the justice speedily. That is impossible in our current set up which doesnot even have an anti terrorism law. My appeal to all parliamentarians is  please enact one before another mumbai 26/11 is carried out on another major city. How come America after 9/11 is able to tighten its belt so that no single act of terrorism has taken place post 9/11? My deepest condolenses to all the near and dear ones of the deceased in yesterdays terror attack.

cleanliness is possible in Indian Railways

the journey from bengaluru to ajmer took close to 5o agonisingly long hours. one sickening feature in the entire journey was the uniform stink and filth emanating from every one of the major stations. yes, we do have sub-contracted cleaning service providers working round the clock to keep the stations spik and span. but try their meight , they have not succeeded in maintaining the clean standards. my suggestion to the rail montree is, please make arrangemtns to close all the toilet doors automatically as trains approach stations as are being done in europe and america. this will naturally eliminate the exercise the sensible noses are put to at every railways station across india. hope lalujee is listening.
