accustomed

Bombay easily has lost more lives to terrorist bombs than any other city. And we are yet to see a single memorial for the dead. It is just about getting back to normal self now, the fear even though it persists but I feel it now lurks some where in the background . The city has gone through this shock What can you say about a city that is in such tearing hurry to forget its dead?If it was not so, may be they would stop living and the city would come a standstill. what scares me is the feeling that they must have become accustomed to unwanted readiness to accept a loss of near dear one anytime. Wouldn't that make them loose an important part of emotional quotient.Becoming shock proof to emotions and being emotionless are two different things. the only fear that resides in me that i seeing them become the latter in order to achieve the threshold of being shock proof.

It is nothing to do with emotions .
It is something to do with the level of governance that we have come to expect from the government .
People know that government does not have the will nor even the capabilities and nor the resources to stop it .
So why waste time & not get on with the life .
As for memorial ,people will not demand it so as not to demean their dignity by asking for it ,it should come naturally .

Where mind is without fear ... where fetters are broken .....and my insolence is revered . You are welcome !!!
