On Friday, it was Bangalore, and Saturday, Ahmedabad! Yet, our intelligence organizations are clueless. They even missed out the information on the "net practice-esque" blast carried out, which the media has reported yesterday, about fifty kilometers from Bangalore. If what now the police and IB suspect is correct, then these merchants of terror must have left some clue or the other; it could be from the history of online search related to making bombs, or any other related document. It shouldn't be difficult for the intelligence organizations to carry out a thorough investigation on the web analytics for such search requests. I hope the intelligence agencies get to the bottom of these attacks soon, or else people, who have already lost faith on law enforcement and intelligence agencies, could see this as a last straw that could break the camel's back.

Let us have a re-look at these blasts once again: Hyderabad, Jaipur, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore, and now in Ahmedabad; weren't all these attempts at breaking the communal harmony. But then weren't these directed at common people, and only the lives of unnamed/unspoken people were lost! If, at all, these extremist organizations have local conduits and recruits; their local recruits who must have provided the logistics shouldn't live in blinders; in the name of some faith one cannot justify supporting terror. But then if the religious texts are read like newspaper headlines, of course, they may have found a quick answer to their problems - seeing others in agony and terror. If one goes by the outlawed bigot psychology, perhaps it is a well known fact that some people derive vicarious pleasure seeing others suffer, and some even can resort to violent means to experience the same. Such is the face of terrorism, and psychology, as I perceive, and then as Gloria Anzaldua said, "what we say and what we do ultimately comes back to us so let us own our responsibility, place it in our hands, and carry it with dignity and strength", there should have also been a few factors, conditions, and precursors that resulted these scum-of-this-earth terror machines to get oiled.

I hope our IB wakes up in time and leads us, the people of this wonderful peace-loving nation, to the truth. Though we have a short term memory, but even then we surely are fed up with the cliched b-rated bollywood script story lines, we need some concrete answers, and solution.
