Another series of blasts ..some more innocent people killed..some other injured ..
Nothing much i can do except for surfing through the local channels here in Singapore to catch a glimpse of what is happening in my own country Or browse through all the news websites next morning to get an update of what happened !
Came across this particular article http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/jul/12nri.htm which very much has all my feelings in it except for few !!
Read another blog http://gauravsabnis.blogspot.com/2006/07/blasts-in-bombay.html which summed up everything i guess !
After hearing the news about bomb blasts when i was talking to my landlady , she tells me "They should be more strict in India and i reply "Its very difficult to be strict with such huge ever growing population !". As they say 'Grass is always greener on the other side' . She always has something or other to say about India and i defend myself and my country or at least try to defend ;o) !!! [*Patriotic Vidya *]
'Why young people don't join politics ?' [*??????*]
'India has become very costly now a days' ! [*Yeah just because you want to make profit in Singapore , you buy stuff from India fro 10 Rs and sell it for 5$ here *]
'So many mosquitoes in India' ! [*I think these mosquitoes bite the Non-Indians more :) *]
'I don't want my son to have Indian Friends!' [* Good for them !*]
'Indian Airlines is always late' ! [*Okay ,I agree with this : *]
'That Indian contractor took so much money for the renovation !' [* Yeah ,right ! You want cheap labor and then you complaint !!!*]
And with all these complaints now and then she calls herself an Indian ...
* A major fan of Sun TV (A famous Tamil channel) soaps . She gets so involved in seeing the serials that she starts screaming and shouting ! Sometimes i am the bakra or rather bakri ;-) to listen to what the daughter-in-law did or who kidnapped the girl or whose child it is?!!
* A Religious and God fearing person . She is so scared that last month when somebody died in neighborhood she was sitting with a god's photo in her hand with the doors closed !
* Respects the Indian culture and tries hard to makes his son follow it to ..but fails !! Makes her son wear 'Jubba' /Long Kurta when he goes to temple !
* Loves Mangoes especially from India . I hid all the mangoes i had bought from India and gave her only one :o) !!!
* Loves Indian Artifacts and item....wanted somebody to get the grinding stone from India !!! If the person is coming in Jet Star Asia then except for the Grinding Stone he won't be able to carry anything else ;o) !!!! [FYI : Jet Star Asia allows 20 kg check-in baggage]
Shame on the cruel people who are responsible for these bomb blasts ... and thanks to all the helpful Indians who helped the victims/train passengers in Mumbai !
And those of you who are wondering what the title is about - its about whether the incident/accident should be remembered as 7/11 (mm/dd format or rather 9/11 format ) or 11/7 (dd/mm format ) ???
My Condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones !!!

A coward act of terrorism to hit India's soft underbelly. Brute and cruel.
Wanna pour out on this sometimes.
Mumbai is becoming an ill-fated city. Blasts in 2002 and 2003. Floods in 2005. Shiv Sena riots 3 days back, and now this...
