Read in someone's blog that the mayhem has ended and emotional rape is yet to begin. But it's begun already, it began the moment we went back to our daily lives, ordinary lives, lives where externalizing 'a bad' is a way of second nature.
A thought came to me only after this bloodbath and sacrilege towards humanity - perhaps what we called the resilience of Mumbaikars was never so, merely indifference towards others; maybe what we called the collective Mumbai spirit was always a deadened, numbed Mumbaikar who didn't care beyond going on earning a living and fighting to retain his space in the crowded chaos of Mumbai. What else describes us and our behavior of switching off and on , not until the next tragedy strikes!?
In my heart, that's my fear with my own self - desperately trying to hold on to the anger by writing the same as 'status update' on my facebook identity, writing comments wherever a discussion is on or an opinion is sought! Is this all and more importantly is it enough! I am sure it's not and I'm desperate at the thought . How can I keep it alive?!
