7/11, Bombay Blasts....Again
8 blasts, 174 killed on the Western Railway
Where millions commute to and fro everyday
There was blood everywhere, mangled bodies strewn
Rivers of blood supposedly flowed
People running helter-skelter, chaos reigned supreme
No one could be reached, over the phone
When they were just trying to make their way home
Arre yaar, what are they doing to my city?
The
Eros Cinema, Azad Maidan and the
Sri Krishna Vada Pao, Pau Bhaji “rekdis” and cutting chai
“Zara hato yaar”, “Time kya hua bhidu” and “Dhakka lagao bhai”
Are some of the things that the city beats to
Now everything stalled, the city stops
To mourn the 175, whom life has dropped
Arre yaar, what are they doing to my city?
Juhu beach and inevitably “Naariyal Pani”
At nights, the
Yes, I do agree, Mahim Khadi stinks
But Bandstand and Walkeshwar makes one doubt
If Dharavi and the other zopadpattis
In part of the same city could be found
Arre yaar, what are they doing to my city?
Dabbawallas, rickshawallas and mazdoor
Rubbing shoulders with the seths and babus
Everyone trying to eek out a living
Finding their place in the city
The multiplexes and the malls
Are a part of the city’s ever changing landscape
Arre yaar, what are they doing to my city?
How many times will they try and exterminate?
Lives of the ordinary nine-to-fiver
What does it take to bring a city down to its knees?
Before it keels and calls it quits
Angry, frustrated, depressed, anguished and sad am I
Thinking over and over am I
Arre yaar, what are they doing to my city?

It's time to cleanup the mess !!!
We have been tolerant of these terrorist acts for a looong time. Gandhi's policies of non-violence are in our veins and preventing any fitting reply.
It's time to cleanup the mess and give a fitting reply to the LeT or any other organization out there.

You are right that we have been too docile in our responses. Check out this article here about how the US has responded to 9/11 and compared to Indias response, rather lack of it, to the 1993 bomb blasts in Bombay.

Reason for being docile is that we feel that terrorism is a part of our lives - it has been with us FOREVER. One 9/11 in USA has changed the picture of USA and they are still talking about it and taking all the measures to curtail the immigrants and make USA more secure.
India - this is not the first blast in Mumbai, we had in Delhi too a few years back and many more. It's the administration to be blamed - it's the political arena who should start taking responsibilities for this dastardly acts from terrorists.
