Hi Sameer, Arre Piyush ke jaisa koi hoga on the T.V but Piyush is chilling in your neighbourhood somewhere! I will get you his details soon! He is safe and importantly will be safe since he is living in your country!
Well, nice to read Amin, H.V, Archana, Subu, Viren's comments on terrorism! Everyone should write and express themselves! I am so frustrated with my country's politicians that i just cant stop thinking about the alternatives. Somehow, i feel the corporates need to come in and play a role in shaping the future of a "Secured India". Only they can save India! I feel people like Ratan Tata, Birla,Kamath, Narayan Moorthy, Nandan Nilekani etc should take active role in our country's politics! They have run their respective organisations so well for all these years and I dont see any reason why they cant do it on a larger scale! At this stage we need someone whom we can trust upon! None of us believe that the current brass of politicians are any good and the future doesnt look bright either! As such i dont think you need any expertise to become a good politician and i feel these corporates will perfectly fit the bill since all these great people will discharge their duties efficiently!!!! Just that we need to push them to accept these challenging jobs since most of these guys have denied to take active part in the country's politics in the past!!!! But the fact is the country needs them and needs them quickly!!!! ________________________________ From: Sameer Chhatre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Vani <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 30 November, 2008 3:21:25 PM Subject: RE: Stop the Menace!!!! great and u r telling me now !!! were u waiting for a terrorist to attack Mumbai to tell me this?

Hey nayan and everyone from kelkar college, I saw Piyush Vira who was with me in friends school and later at kelkar college on TV. They were interviewing him. Is someone in touch with him? Looks like he was one of the hostages. we can get accurate info on those bastards. sameer ________________________________ Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 12:24:32 +0530 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Stop the Menace!!!! To: [email protected] Hmm, i know it is crap and even if it was true i will never believe it! I am an eternal optimist, India will be safe one day and I am sure to see this happen some day!!!! But what worries me the most is how and who will do it? I dont have any answers to this questions! Well, i have been reading and watching about the terror 24 x7, must have read most of the articles! How many of you know that there was another boat full of terrorists had come to the Colaba harbour after an hour of these incidents took place! Luckily, the alert citizens shouted and sent them back! What would have happened to the state of Mumbai if another batch would have been allowed to enter! I saw Kirit Somaya at a wedding yesterday in Mulund, had seen him on the T.V earlier with Modi! I am not too concerned whether he is totla or not but what really upsets me is why these people want to take political mileage out of any situation. Modi came and told on T.V that he had informed about the hijacking of a trawler from Gujarat long back, Advani,Sonia and our P.M probably came here for the same reasons. If i remember correctly it is because of this party the Babri Masjid was demolished and we are seeing the effects of the same till date! I am not a supporter of Congress either, Narsima Rao's Govt let this happen despite being at the centre!!! H.V: Have a safe trip to Saudi and back!! Bye!!! ________________________________ From: Archana Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 28 November, 2008 8:51:23 PM Subject: Re: Stop the Menace!!!! Nayan, I can assure you 100 per cent, that the cops killing theory is complete CRAP! It happened in front of my colleagues...we will know. Those behind Malegaon blasts are not invincible yaar. Again if the govt has the will there too, they can also be brought to justice. Of all the grimn and sorrowful stories i was reading in TOI (i am not reading any other newspaper, know some of the reporters there and they are abso crap). I really liked reading Page 11 of today's edition. Great thoughts, fantastic anecdotes, written in class one ENglish. Sample this: What is thicker than a bullet-proof vest? A politician's hyde. This snippet was about Kirit Somaiyya blabbering that govt was busy chasing Hindu militants, that's this happened. He is totla to speak to, I have spoken to him, in fact he lost his MP seat in 2004 largely (Congressmen say) because of a story i did and was published on page one. He calls himself Killith. Why doesn't he shut his mouth? If you have time go through it. I am not reading the live stream,...so scared. I can't even grieve aloud here. My colleagues didn't know it was my city which was attacked as i always called it Bombay (which i will) to them and in the news they had heard Mumbai. I very gingerly opened TOI today and found that the death toll is 143. PAIN. Arch On 11/28/08, Nayan Mapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Phew, indeed very scary! Time to become proactive rather than reactive, we always look for water after the fire has broken! You guys must write to the government officers, press, the government and express your anguish towards their inability, complete intelligence failure. This will surely put pressure on them! Most of the people whom i am speaking with, affluent, common man, intellectual etc, all of them are so negative about the entire thing. All of them keep expressing that all these policemen, navy guards etc are so corrupt that they can let anything happen to the country if they are paid! How could a vessel/boat enter the Mumbai's coast line without anyone noticing it? Another story going on here is that the three cops killing was a conspiracy, they were killed at the behest of the politicians since Malegaon blast repurcussions could have dragged them all! I just couldn't take these stories and I dont want to believe this crap but why is everyone so negative, maybe there is a case of me being prejudice!!! ________________________________ From: subramaniam sreenivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 28 November, 2008 6:18:03 PM Subject: RE: Stop the Menace!!!! I am watching CNN-IBN on Internet and have CNN running on TV and THIS IS SCARY man .... The real situation is only now beginning to sink in , The gunshots, stun grenades going off while the reporter is talking .... this is not an incident .. like Nayan said .. this is war .. This situation will end ... I pray sooner than later ... but we should not forget the lesson. Like Nayan said .. I too would like to see some strong action being taken , short term and long term. Maybe long term , we need a Israel style Kibutz system. We can blame politicians and political will etc, but how are we going to put the will into them ??? People talk about how resilient people of mumbai are blah blah ... is that resilience hurting us more than it is helping us ... we move on and so do our politicians. Should we all stop going to work, stop sending money to india, empty our bank accounts until strong action is taken ???? or should we stall the airport (bangkok style) ... There are elections coming ... maybe we should boycott the elections. We have to do something to force the govy to take short term and long term action As I write this ... commandos have fired a rocket into Chabad House ..... God save us and save India ... ________________________________ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:59:31 +0530 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re:Stop the Menace!!!! To: [email protected] I changed the headline, it is not the Mumbai shootings, in fact a war. How else would you justify battalions of NSG commando's flown from Delhi, Navy commando's, IAF helicopters, Rapid action force personnels and around 800 police men manning the three important buildings! Well, Subu it is a very good suggestion to start thinking about ways and means to prevent such a situation in future!!! It is so very evident that resources are not at large for putting things in perspective but what we lack is basic planning and a political will to stop this!! I dont understand why is it so difficult to avert such situations? I mean we have an example in front of us, U.S mein ek parinde ne bhi per nahi mara after the 9/11, U.K has had no terror casualties after the train blasts, remember they foiled the attempt of the indian born mujaideens at Glasgow airport! Why cant we follow their foot steps, we do follow them for all other things but why not for this! I keep hearing and reading the news that there was a warning issued long time back about the porous sea borders and Narendra Modi went on to add that he had already stated this long time back. I mean what the hell are we doing, if these politicians know the possible threat zones and they still want to sit and pass the buck I must say only GOD save this country!!!! This is as good as knowing about the crime and keeping mum which is punishable under the IPC! How can you just keep quiet?????? To my mind, the first thing what should be done is to withdraw all the security men from these politicians! All the politicians are so rich even officially that they can afford to have their own security men! They can travel in their bullet proof cars and wear bullet proof jackets if they are so concerned about their safety! Why should public pay for their safety when they care a damn about ours! Increase the salaries of all the police men, army,security agencies and give them performance based bonuses! Every time they foil a plausible terrorist attack they should be rewarded and if they fail in their attempt they should be penalised and sacked if needed.Increase the force, give them the power, choose the right candidates for the right spot and no politician will decide about their appointment or their transfers. It should be decided by the judiciary, high court judges preferrably. Invest in the technology, equipments and instruments needed to prevent such attacks! Security cameras on each and every street of all the cities, not alone railway stations or airports! Security cameras inside the police stations and it should be connected to the local cable operators, every citizen has the right to know whether the Policemen whom we actually trust our lives upon discharge their duties efficiently or not! Make them accountable at every stage, all court proceedings should be aired live too! There should be a body of intellectual ppl formed above this level whose job is to keep a tab on the daily proceedings and they must report to the local news channels about the number of incidents that take place in their jurisdiction. If the politicians need resources to build this secured environment we are ready to pay more taxes but if they fail they should be sacked instantly and never be ever allowed to contest any elections!!!! The gist of the matter is that make each and every public servant accountable at every level! I have no doubt in my mind that if there is a strong will to set things right no one can even think of even causing a scratch on us, forget about the terrorism!!!!!!! I dont know how you guys have taken this episode, but i havent been able to sleep that well! The first thing what comes to my mind is the death of the ATS chief and i just cant imagine how could we let him die like this. He was such an upright officer, engineer and an IPS officer to boot! The same holds true for all the policemen who have laid their lives for this cause! Hats off to all of them including all the commanders who are involved in flushing out the terrorists! India has the potential to become the super power by 2015, forget about 2025 but we got to wake up now and should not let this episode pass by just like that. This is a big lesson to be learnt, biggest terrorist attack in the indian history to date, i guess this shold be a good enough reason for us to actually wake up!!!!
