Just a few months ago, our neighbors send a team to India, of few men armed with weapons, trained to kill, live to hate and born to die. These men held hostage the Indian financial capital for 3 days, killing the elite, ending the poor, and devastating the mind of every reasonable citizen in the country. Every other blog in this country wrote a painful story of death, the cliche story of the spirit of mumbai residents, and the hatred story of our politicians. Easy crap to write I tell ya. Even the old lady that runs the nearby grocery store could express an opinion in that time of crisis.

Ten weeks have passed since then, and the idea of very India that was challenged has failed me completely. Not only the perpetrators who planned the killings are roaming free, but also the angry Indians who blogged till eternity and pledged for a change are back to their routine lives of earning the bread, sucking the black labels, and planning a vacation. The diplomatic pressure of New Delhi has clearly failed to produce any results, the coalition government led by UPA has failed to provide security, the state governments have proven to be stale and defunct, and the angry young men and women have found solace in sex, drugs and rock n roll. Nothing has changed, we are still very gullible, corrupt, dirty and naive.

What have I done? Nothing really. I publicly surrender to the terror, and to the taliban. The only thing I could do is to keep my surroundings clean and impeccable, and post 26/11 I have made a deliberate effort that my house and around turns into the cleanest place in the world. If all Indians achieve this simple objective, we will be able to pass on a beautiful gullible country to our kids, as supposed to just a dirty gullible state. Terror or no terror, there is no excuse to not look good. In fact, there is a coherent relationship between a clean environment and peace - the sooner we realize this, the safer we will become. Carry on ranting about our politicians and our neighbours, I will join you. But if you are a reasonable Indian reading this, I request you to keep it clean and green. Never thought I will start to prophesize, but I guess I am sick of hearing the problems without any solutions.
