Why does it keep repeating?

1. "Sri Ram Sena" and the Mangalore Pub
2. Shiv Sena and Hotel Intercontinental Grand.
3. MNS and Mumbai University

Embittered. Hurt. Depressed.

I don't want to think or write about it. I have nothing to state except the naivest of hopes that such vandalism ends and the youths, who are the principal instruments for effecting the will of fiends and demagogues against other youth find better avenues. Having stared at the computer screen for more than fifteen minutes without being able to continue, I give up, weary and helpless. One cannot be creative about issues that drive one to mad rage.

Unfortunately, mental disengagement seems difficult at the moment to do anything productive. Hence, capitulated sleep.

It is depressing and scary.

I have spent a few days in Gudgaon, and I know the feeling of insecurity a girl feels if she has to step out after 7 PM there. Mangalore women will experience the same insecurity now - everytime they step out in their jeans and sleeveless tops.

It hurts really. If something is not done to the gundas and the organizations behind it, one more city will lose its free air.

pj, I don't know what to say. Just be safe. It will take more than a while for all this to completely disappear and it will be dependent on other parallel changes.

pps, I thought you had stopped writing! Your lj blog was dormant for the last many months. Happy to learn otherwise :-)
