I was in the office on Thurday and Friday, when the shootout in Mumbai was on. I was very disturbed and was wanting minute by minute coverage of what was happening in mumbai, naturally was watching the TV in the breakout room. Due to work pressures, I was not able to go to the break out room often and was forced to depend on the indiatimes website. What shocked me was, among disheartening news of Mumbai carnage, it ran a main story of Amitabh's blog. I read the excerpts what was displayed on the Indiatimes site, and since that moment I felt I was going to end my dependence on this site. Amitabh wrote what he felt, I respect that. But to glorify it is outright shameful. Every one in the country was feeling the rage against the terrorists and the site runs a story on how Amitabh is scared. Do I care? For one, I don't.
I have no problems about Amitabh writing in his blog, about him carrying a revolver and spending sleepless nights. So what, does he represent us? Are we reduced to petty people who have to be feel the same thing as what an Actor, someone who is just a REEL LIFE hero is feeling? Does any one write how Major Unnikrishnan, felt or what the police SI who got sprayed with Kasav's bullet would have felt? They could have thought about themselves let the country go to the dogs. Amitabh atleast had some place secure to sleep. The residents of Taj did not even have that. Next day out of habit I open the site again and there I read another cover story of Aamir khan saying... let us respond their bullets with a thousand roses. I dont agree... He does not feel the agony the people of Mumbai went through. He may just simply take refuge in Dubai or some other Arab country where he will have ample supporters and let OUR country suffer. How could he even think of this? What does he think? he is neo Gandhi? Gandhi was a great man, but remember he too did not approve of violence. And Indiatimes glorifying it was another shock. Who are these people to tell me what should I do? I have not given them the right to think for me. I know many have. I HAVE NOT. I believe that I will do what is right for the country and not for what is good to keep me alive. I am not saying I dont want to live. Just that if the heroes of Mumbai, had thought about themselves, the toll would have been higher and the terrorists would have made a scar which would not have healed for a long long time. Not that it will heal now,but atleast our heads are high and we are proud about we being Indians. I believe Aamir was doing just the opposite. Making the terrorists happy, so that they dont attack him, he stays pretty while the country suffers. Shame on you indiatimes. If Reel life actors have no sense atleast you should show some dignity.
जय हिंद. भारत माता की जय.
