When earthquake leave trails

2008 ended with a bang. Terrorist attacks at places where we never thought anything cruel would take place. the places which were considered as icons of mumbai to the foreigners when they thought of Mumbai.
The after effects and counter allegations etc were seen and are still with the recent probability being war. But people are already forgetting. Is forgetting just a kind of pain forgetting, thinking that if we don’t feel it, it will go away. The care and hatred were just short lived and people went back to their business in a zombie like state, just so unfeeling. But do we have a choice???with perkier statements that “we can change the world…” a teenager statement too much idealism. But check out the practicality. Who has time? We all go blah blah and blah…blame the government, corrupt people etc. but what are we doing to change it? Are we voting? Are we educating or selves? Are we more alert before?
These and such questions boiled in my mind…but what say??? 2009 started with a bang, the collapse of IT giant called “satyam” one of the biggest financial scams. I won’t comment here anything. Firstly I am a layman in all technicalities and a novice in IT. But yes, I would like to say something. That I stopped backstabbing my company. I found that my company is still good enough, paying me for what I asked for and for not loosing me gave me a toy called promotion. But honestly I stopped backstabbing my company since compared to all others it is still in better shape.
What did I learn fom all all this? Well mostly that…when you can’t help about some things…just sweat it out and just think what will happen the maximum. If you have a backup plan you will surely survive.” (usually I guess) :)

This sounds really very insensitive for me too. But what more can I say? after the blasts (continiously) and attacks and riots. My self has become like" ok now where next " kind. It hurts but after a while we all suffer pesticide paradox (when pests get used to side)................The craving for normalcy continues.
