Kasab .... "Fairness of Democracy"

26/11 A day that sends shivers down the spine of India ..... The economic of capital of India was torn apart in blood and tears as 10 young men waged war on it ..... For two days the nation held its breath as the last of the terrorists were eliminated .....
166 men killed .... 308 injured .... the pride of Mumbai-"The Taj" destroyed .....
Today is the 6th of May 2010 ... After one year and a half ... Ajmal Kasab the only living terrorist of the attacks is sentenced to Death for his brutal crimes ....
the people over India rejoice ... crackers are burnt in parts of Mumbai ...... Media channels host special shows ..... Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram christens this as the victory of Democracy ...... Minister of Foreign affairs talks about sending a strong message to Pakistan ...... Theres a sense of Victory in India .....
But what have we won ???
Amir Ajmal Kasab was caught in a CCTV shooting innocent people mercilessly , he himself confessed to kill 7 people on his own .. Two years have passed and look at him now .... He is getting more security than even the Prime Minister of this country ... Thousands of Media channels are dying to catch his glimpse ... A new tunnel has been built for his transport ..... nearly hundreds of crores have been on his security ...
In India , every minute 6 children are dying due to hunger...
Mayawati doesnt have the money to provide Education for all in UP....
60% of the population is enlisted as BPL .....
Whom are we kidding by saying that we have "WON"?
What have we done by giving a 2 year old trial to Ajmal Kasab ? Have we ensured Democracy ... and fairness of law ?? or Have we just told the world that Look you can come to India and just kill 166 people .. the video of your indiscrimminate shooting is caught in CCTV .... Yet the Indian Government will make you a media Luminary .... and let you live for four to five more years at their own cost ......
Even after his death sentence is announced he is going to have an Hernia opperation .... He is going to appeal in Supreme court , High Court and finally the President of India ..... Two more years of this tomfoolery going on ....
How far are we stretching the lines ?? At what cost is the fairness of Democracy justified .... Kasab was just a pawn ......There are thousands more of them waiting to strike .. and we just showed them how hospitable we can be under the cover of "fairness of Democracy" ... David Headley , the mastermind of the operation is not getting a Death Penalty by striking a deal with the US .....seven more are in trail in Pakistan ...
What have we won ??????

Kalboisakhi ........

Its been too long and a tiresome season ... With the freezing winter the long drawn Examination schedule commenced .... The chills of winter evaporated as the summer season recorded epic temperatures scorching the streets of Kolkata .... The April Sun was merciless ... All the effects of Gobal warming seemed concentrated on us ... Many hopeful weather forecasts melted away in vain ......
Today however was different ....... As the clouds turned day into night ... The first kalboisakhi lashed its pent up fury on the city of Joy .....
With roars of thunder and flashes of lightning accompanied by the fresh drops of rain the cyclone quenched the thirsty kolkata ..... The wounds slashed by the April Sun got its first taste of healing ...... The exhilarating smell of the wet earth ... The strong winds ripping the young buds of mango apart ...... It was like an illusion after a long drawn summer ...

..Little paper boats made their ways through the many meandering drains of kolkata and overflowed streets of kolkata serving as water parks for street children ... For once we were happy with the incapability of the corporation ....
After nearly two hours of squandering ....
With one last roar the storm calmed down ..... promising us of the many more on its way .....
