mumbai attack : the real aftermath

at the very outset i would like to extend my meaningless condolence to the families of the berieved...
lets get down straight to the point... useless politcal bashing and extending empty regrets to the lives lost is of no use...
today i was watching various news channels and there was a lot of anger among people about the recent incidents, few said India should go at war with Pakistan, while others correctly blamed on the lapse of security... there was this catchy line "enough is enough"..
I am not trying to be cynical about the feelings of the people, but i think what they are actually going through now is the recency effect... India is not unfamiliar with terrorist attacks... we have seen many protests before also.. end results of which are very visible to us...

However at the same time it is important to show that we are united and we all want change.. the question is who will bring in the change ???
"change is not caused without inconvenience, even from worse to better"
are we willing to go through the inconveniece ??
i will now come back to my question of "who will bring the change???".
We always keep pointing our fingers at others.. blaming on others can be so damn easy.. we all know that its the politicians who takes vital decisions for the country, yet todays youth run away from politics, why ???
we are blaming the lapse in the intelligence report and the lapse on the part of the security advisors, yet none would be willing to join these services, instead would go for IT jobs with fat pay package...
some might question me that why am i not joining politics or the beauracrats, the answer is i am not wasting my time complaining, rather i am preparing to enter the beauracrats...
either we should take up moral responsibility about these attacks(as the politicians are the people whom we have elected).. or else just keep changing the channels on television and shut up !!!
we should really stop complaining and start acting, and acting by starting to change ones own self..
I have always believed in the common saying "to change the system, you need to be in the system"...
may the gods be with us all...
