History showed a trend of terror attacks targetting public places and monuments at large. The resultant loss of human life of the common man was always the highest. The attacks on the Taj and Oberoi have changed everything. The focus was clearly high visibility individuals. This now leaves no one safe.

While the death toll and ruthlessness of the attackers has left me numb , the weaknesses in our intel, security forces and the behaviour of our politicians is what spells more trouble to come.

Though all of us are angry and want to retaliate or at least do something meaningful , there is very little we can do individually.  I intend interacting with groups who are coming together to pressurize for change and ensure visible safety measures being put in place.

Please do put in your suggestions, in terms of measures that we would want the government to implement. On my part I am going to put all efforts to ensure we are heard and eventually hope that life can become safer in India. 

I understand that all of us are cynical as to what we can acheive with letters and mails and the blog. However if we do not speak up nothing will ever happen.

My condolences to the families of all who have suffered in this dastardly act.
