Remember Ghodse?


The Paki army killed a bunch of muslims in 71...So they`re probably responsible for killing muslims civilians in Lebanon and gaza..

Pakis aren`t the brightest bulbs in the UN chandelier..

FV, our dear (former ?) editor at chowk (& a muslimah :] ) is about to write another article.


The focus will be on the 120Rs cup of coffee she had @ the Sea lounge.

Wiseguyin @15.
Your anger is justified IF it is established what you say to be true!
But the followers of Paedophiles & Savages who took the lives of non-combatant and innocent people can not be, please note, can not be MUSLIMS! Deranged fanatics yes!!

It is established the muslims (the followers of paedophiles & savages) have done the blasts.

FV, our dear (former ?) editor at chowk (& a muslimah :] ) is about to write another article.
Lemme guess the title - ``They roundup and question skullcaps, don`t they ?``

Re: # 8
The ID card thing sounds like a good idea.
Only problem, methinks, would be to effectively implement it.
With the number of people travelling on M`bai`s locals each day, it would be a nightmare for the officials appointed to conduct random checks.
But y`know, I watched this movie, once. Minority Report. Showed a possible future-scenario wherein everyone (at least in the U.S.A.) was retina-scanned, when they entered any public building. What if...
Heh. Wishful thinking, eh?
But you`re right. Carrying railway ID should be made mandatory for all train travellers, local or otherwise.

Re: # 6
And now, as we`re beginning to recover, the issue of responsibility and punishment is in all our minds. I agree with you on that, ma`am. The wronged must be given justice.
The wrong must be judged.
And hell yes, punished. Severely.

Re: # 4
And Bombay will welcome you back, at the end of this month.
But could that be the very problem?
That Bombay welcomes everyone?
Someone once said, there should be a visa system, for entry into Mumbai.
Sounded like a dumb idea then...
But I`ll tell you, Devkant, there`re some commuters, this day, to whom it`s not sounding like such a bad idea after all.
Highly impractical, yes...but then, something`s got to be done.
What say?
And, oh. Please do take care while travelling by local train in Mumbai, this month-end. :)

The article is fine. There is no need for the apologetic footnote.

Re: # 3
Absolutely right, zeemax. It`s a bloody (literally) vicious cycle.
Why were those people killed? Because they were there, say we. Why were those people there? To prove a point, say the hate-indoctrinated ones. Why prove a point using THOSE PEOPLE, we ask. Because they were there is the reply that`s heard...
But this time, we don`t know who`s saying it.
And yes, we are all in it, together, for the good and for the bad.

This past Sunday`s Mumbai Mirror carries the story of one Dr Jalees Shakeel Ansari who planned 1993 serila train blasts. The article quotes an officer saying that there is a `cartel` of blast conspirators who exploit the hurt felt by Muslim youths. The cartel has two main specialist groups: Shariah and Strategy. The Shariah group has religiou people who brainwash gullible youths into believing in Jihad. The Strategy group equips youths with knowledge of how-to of acts.

I got this Mumbai Mirror edition with Time of India sunday edition. Sunday TOI carries a story of how easy it is to buy a stick of gelatine for mere 50 rupees. So only techology they have to master is of hitching a timer device. This time they used timers hidden in pencils. I get the impression from all this that it must be pretty easy (except for timer thing) to build a bomb. I thought Ammonium Nitrate was a fertiliser. It seems either dynamite and/or AmNitr was used as explosive. This revelations are scary because I thought info about timers etc can be easily found from a well-stocked library or over internet. I think so best thing to do is to make carrying ID mandatory and recording of ID of each and every individual entering railway premises before entry and also random checks on board trains. With credit card type ID cards this should be possible.

Sudeep, I saw some of the injured first hand. Yes, the question does crop up, Why? I`m of the opinion that irrespective of religion, community, nationality, the guilty must be punished. Am not an expert on the hows and whys, but that`s how I feel. At this point of time, forgiveness is not in my thoughts. The Mumbaite must co-operate with the cops and help them in any way they can. That`s spirit, too. That`s the only way we can keep our city safe. ALL of us must gear up towards it.
