Why I am writing about it ??

• Of course they are indeed terrorist attacks !!!
• Count it... officially 631 people have died ..unofficially ???
• They are not unseen and unobserved but victims are still waiting for justice. It is a shame that in only one case we were able to capture the terrorist .... and that we know Kasab !!! Other Cases are still floating in midair.

 

 Why it is Indeprensus ?

• It was Indeprensus for me ... though I live in Mumbai !!!
• People of Mumbai generally talk of it for weeks and then they forget it completely !!
• Who will waste time and efforts for injustice... they can make money in that time. And I am not judging them .. they have to do it to live in Mumbai and feed their families.
• Isn't it the work of newspapers and media to keep people aware of these incidents ??
