It's been a week for Mumbai.

It's been a week since the terrorists unleashed their terror on civilians of mumbai, killing 179 people and injuring many more who are recovering from serious wounds. The "spirit of mumbai" is less spoken off and the demand to see actions and justice is seen more. The "chalta rahega", "baad me dekengey" attitude has striken.

I have been watching the news channels for updates ever since the tragedy struck the "maximum city". There are more controversies picked up everyday than the dire need of the hour - solutions.....practical solutions for preventing another terrorist attack. Swift actions taken now by the govt. of india, in response to the anger of people and more so with the future election dangling. Pressurized politicians resigning in the wake of the event for their inefficiency in handling events and they never are short of peoples' expectations when it comes to 'public' work. Politicians not sensing what to speak at this hour of crisis with remarks ranging from 'lipsticks' by a senior leader of the opposition party to insulting statements from chief minister of a state who was refused to let into a martyr's house, to a casual remark on the terrorist incidence by the deputy CM of the tragedy struck state. These are the kind of people who have been elected to rule and have their final say on laws to make public life better.
