No sense at all. Somebody got to stop this to shun any similar incident in the future. We just can't shrugged this off as if nothing happens. There were lives wasted because of wrong principles..."sigh". very sad really really sad. What a life wasted. No sense at all. Somebody got to stop this to shun any similar incident in the future.

Subhanjan, you might be right. We common man might never be able to know the whole truth.

Tanmoy, I am so glad that you are writing constantly. But I have to catch up with your posts. And you are right. we live in denial till the danger is knocking on our own individual doors.

Paradox, it was so scary to watch policemen lying dead on road like garbage.

Praney, where were you? Glad to see you back.

AmitL, if we were “that” competent in carrying out attacks in “their” territory, they would have scared like anything of India! …

Ritu, I share somewhat a love hate relationship with 24-hour news channels. When they chose to play fair they can turn anything into something. But when they act as PR of one political party or another, well…

I think the media did learn a significant lesson from 26/11. Even the newspapers were guarded in their editorials.

If there is relief that the team is safe, why isnt anybody simultaneously showing concern about the 'common man' who was as 'human' as anybody else.

Many people from this side of the world have visited India and many more plan future visits. Now most are cancelling their plans to visit subcontinent. The subcontinent is generally either looked down upon or sympathised with. Many war victims from Eastern Europe see subcontinent facing similar situations. It is scary especially General Elections are coming up in India. Even though the circumstances make us live in a world of denial, we cannot possibly ingore the fact that our home are in danger and most of us can't avoid being in the danger.

I will not be surprised if Pakistan had carried out the operation itself to prove that it is a victim of terrorism itself and that it is helpless and innocent. I must say I am amazed at the precision of the operation: Do not kill any Sri Lankan cricketer, cause panic, kill a few armed guards or policemen, riddle cars with bullets, and walk out smoothly. Too planned out with little resistance. They were firing in open ground as if they had no challenger. Now that is suspicious. Zaheer Abbas may be right too.
