It's 16th of September. I am out in the usually crowded market of "Lajpat Nagar" of New Delhi. There is an undertone of silence in the visibly empty market. The usual bustling has given way to an imposed calmness. There is more security in the market than usual (which is still quite inadequate by the way!).
But there is one pleasant difference there too. The market has suddenly gone bigger. The big portions of garbage, which we have been so accustomed to, are not there anymore. There are various vans of MCD looking to do a clean up job. Well, there have been numerous calls from general public to MCD in the past, to clean up the market but in vain. It took few bomb blasts to finally open their deaf ears and hopefully rusted minds too! So actually we should thank terrorists (Garbage of Society) for cleaning up less harmful garbage.
So what are we doing to tackle this disaster? After couple of days of blasts, BJP has asked for the resignation of Shivraj Patil as Home Minister and Congress is doing a press conference to tell the people that there were more blasts in NDA ruling time and no one resigned. As usual this human tragedy has also become a part of their cheap politics. I wonder if any of these "elected fews" would have lost their dear ones in these blasts, would they still have been talking this rubbish!!
But the big question remains...who will clean up this more harmful garbage of society? I am not too optimistic about the answer. After all we all have learnt to live with the garbage. So will it take another blast to open our ears. I hope not.........
Peace.
