All Talk and No Action

I have been feeding on all news related to this man.

Any tiny winy news bits available...and I gobble them up...

Try as I may, I can't bring myself to hate this guy...

He is responsible for mayhem, bloodshed, fear, hatred and much more...

He is responsible for tearing the peaceful fabric of the city I love...

Yet, it's difficult to hate him.

Because I see him as -

A 21 year old who should have been in college
A poverty struck, mis-led youth consumed with hatred and anger for the world
A guy who wanted to make sense of his life
A guy who wanted to be respected, if not in life, then in death
A guy who hated his family for denying him what is deemed basic necessities by world standards

I see him as a Pawn

I burnt with anger during those 60 hours...

Yet, as the news about investigations started pouring in, I was shocked to learn about this 21 year old.

Just WHAT in the whole world can lead one to become a stone, kill without flinching and being remorseless?

Is it money alone? Respect and recognition in community?

Do all poverty stricken, slum bred, penniless men and women turn to terrorism?

NO.

I don't want to get into what led him to become a monster.

All I now want is that his confessions should be made public around the globe.

I DO NOT want him to be given legal aid !

No. That would be a mockery of this whole attack.

I want justice for my city, for the people.

I want Indians, in general, to have more spine. I want us to wake up and start "Doing" stuff rather than complaining.

I now want to get lost and doze off before this becomes one lengthy, whining, boring, caustic post !

Have a good weekend ahead...
