Last Sunday evening, I stood at the Gateway Of India trying to capture every piece of the majestic iconic Taj…. the same Taj is now in flames. Burning for the last 60 hours. The fire will get doused but  the walls and the spirit of Taj would forever remain charred. The Leopold cafe which was forever filled with laughs and incessant chatter would be now filled with an eerie calm.

The latest updates from news televisions tell me that everything is under control now. All terrorists have been killed. The siege has been ended. The Indian Army, the NSG, the Maharashtra Police, the Firefighters, have done our country proud with their undying valour. Several soldiers have become martyrs. Nariman house, Oberoi Hotel and Taj Hotel have now been sanitised. While this arduous task has ended. A much bigger task of sanitising our country exists.

At this stage it does not matter whether we take the right steps according to the various treaties that always seem to with hold us. It  does not matter what the UN thinks. It really doesn’t matter what the many Human rights activists think, or what other countries seem to think is morally right for us to do at this stage. We have to annihilate the mice that are eating up our country. And it really does not matter whether we turn into a black or a white cat. We just need to eat up and finish those bloody rodents. Period.

I urge all my readers and every true Indian to follow their normal routine as if everything is fine. Do not stay locked up in your houses. Do not pack your bags and leave the state. Do not dampen the spirit of Mumbai. Do not let fear seep into you lives. Do not let terrorism win.

Here’s saluting the valor of the Indian Army forces. Jai Maharashtra! Jai Hind!
