About black shirts.....

When the nation was fast asleep in its cosy bed, a bunch of terrorists had already started moving restlessly in mumbai, ready to create mayhem...ready to change India's history forever.It looked like Satan had descended on the konkan coast thus resulting in one of the modern India's worst disasters-Second biggest after the 9/11 incident. Taj-known for its grandeur was up in flames.India 's business capital was succumbing finally to the back to back attacks of terrorism,the flames of fear was soon consuming the amazing spirit of mumbaites.

When the state police of Maharashtra could not stop the satans, NSG and MARCOS had to be brought in.The commandos or black cats as they are called bravely made the terrorists lick dust.However it was too late for those families who already had lost their loved ones(181 people had succumbed to the massive strikes).While the nation was furious with the politicians of the country,the chief of the NSG had only one thing to say in the press conference_"Mission Successful", retiring to their base back in New Delhi.

Once the mayhem was over, i was flooded with smses saying that the dress code for the following day was black, as a mark of respect to the ones who have perished in the unfortunate incident.As i strode towards the department i could see a enormous black cloud of guys animatedly discussing amongst themselves near the nescafe parlour.Anybody should have guessed what they would have been talking about.

It was the same old thing....complain, crib...taunt politics and how we as a nation are getting more corrupt in the minute.Of course there were some voices of grief imagining the plight of those who would have lost their loved ones..for some-their sole bread winners.

I overheard my friend saying how Pakistan should be attacked, how we should be doing more at the border showing the bastards after all who's the boss....about things the taj security should have...things ministers should have done..things coast guard should have done..things that others should have done basically.As the time flew topics changed to the internal average, attendance shortage,lab repetitions....

Man!! isn't there anything i should have done..something i should do now...?? Sheesh!! there should be something more than wearing black tees and forwarding smses i could do...something we all could do being here a thousand miles away from mumbai....what could be that ??Our actions should be resembling in spirit(at least!!)more with the NSG and not just stop in the color of the dress we wear.What could we really do????
Well, that s up to each one of us to answer for ourselves...
