But what I think we lack is the WILL and DESIRE of proper execution. Until and unless the effort comes from inside us no revolution can take place. What we need is nothing short of a kind of revolution by the supposedly people's power of a 'aam aadmi'PARRYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802457696970128138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760207.post-76741988763738330452008-12-06T21:22:00.000+05:302008-12-06T21:22:00.000+05:30Read every line with great interest.

We have to keep the pressure alive on our elected representatives for concrete steps in this direction.Ashwanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944037236939149462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760207.post-67106900377041223272008-11-30T22:14:00.000+05:302008-11-30T22:14:00.000+05:30akhbaaron ko hi jaldi hoti hai... crisis ki bhi a...akhbaaron ko hi jaldi hoti hai... crisis ki bhi aur normalcy ki bhi. <BR/>its like, they cut you up without waiting for anaesthesia and then send u home without waiting for even 24 hours after the surgery.

People are in such a hurry to return to normalcy without actually understanding the essence of word "NORMAL".

We are all right now thinking on the same lines. I think a question right in everyone's mind is "What can I do?" I started a blog for this sole purpose and would be very glad if you pay a visit and give me comments. It like a small mission that I have started and I intend to take it to every Indian possible.

Don't waste more time, getting "normal". <BR/><BR/>Resilience is another word, that is being bandied around. "The spirit of Mumbai" having bounced back, has repeatedly been witness to the same kind of incident again. We need to stop that, not just Mumbai. But all of us, who are with the people who have given up so much, to have that freedom to "be normal" again.<BR/><BR/>Thank you. If I may, I would like to take this list to my class, as food for thought. I hope that it will catch the idealist in them, while it still is fresh, and help that to grow from there.Usha Pisharodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569968324374522544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760207.post-81673853729504158222008-11-29T20:34:00.000+05:302008-11-29T20:34:00.000+05:30Balvinder: Agree with you on all the points that y...Balvinder: Agree with you on all the points that you have mentioned. <BR/><BR/>I am still too shell shocked by the audacity of the terrorists. This kind of an operation cannot be undertaken without military training of the terrorists somewhere and local support in Mumbai. I am also too overwhelmed by the images of the helicopter hovering over Nariman house and troops slithering down in the face of harm, with wires flying all around; by NSG commandos forcing their way into harm; by the sacrifice of the ATS chief, the commandoes, the Mumbai police. I have never felt so helpless in life just watching some terrorists hold an entire city and nation to ransom. Something in me tells me that this is the turning point that i have waited for. I do hope my countrymen think the same way and vote intelligently. We can no longer have local issues overshadowing national priorities. Terrorism should be our number 1 priority otherwise our long term aim of 'garibi hatao' through economic progress would be thwarted.J P Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806649492059145583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760207.post-85135752279486268752008-11-29T20:06:00.000+05:302008-11-29T20:06:00.000+05:30Brilliant list!

I am still feeling slightly lost, too must has happened, too much is still happening, normalcy is so far away ... two young NSG brave hearts dead, ATS Chief Karkare's wife - widow - refused Modi's offer of one crore rupees ... I hadn't even got over the fact that these brave men had been killed. Maybe this 'lessons learnt' thought will wake me up.Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760207.post-69527037297094685162008-11-29T16:25:00.000+05:302008-11-29T16:25:00.000+05:30If it is normalcy travelling from in front of thes...If it is normalcy travelling from in front of these unfortunate targets, life will be normal; if it is normalcy going back to wrk, life will be normal; but what is normalcy to the martyred security personnel's families; what is normalcy to the man who lost his family in the holocaust; and what is normalcy to the child who got orphaned?<BR/>Resilience?
