Smelling Salts and Intelligence Failure

I work for an IT company at Bagmane Tech Park, C V Raman Nagar, and stay about half a kilometer from office. I was taking lunch, when the news about the serial blasts reached us; everything was normal till then. Within a few minutes saw security being beefed up, and then when I tried to call my friends found the network jammed. It was an utter chaos for a few minutes; heard stories about more blasts, and then around 4:30 pm when it started drizzling, the entire episode appeared to be a terror plot created by some heat-maddened scum-of-this-earth terror outfit. News came pouring in every one hour of another blast. Perhaps as an Individual, it was just a wastage of a few work hours, but then a few work hours can even mean crores of rupees worth of business for some companies. The city is already facing a power and fuel crisis, as a responsible citizen I would urge people not to panic, since panic is what these miscreants want to see in our faces.
 
I heard TV channels running news about security breach, and what not; on reading and hearing the news capsules I have a question: can our government afford police patrol at each and every bus stop and petrol bunk? There are news analysts who have even gone on to an extent of concatenating Jaipur and Bangalore blasts, my question is: could there be a connection between the recent  R T Nagar mosque incident and these serial blasts? Since all these happened after BJP came to office, and about a year before the Parliamentary elections. If we can concatenate between Jaipur and Bangalore serial blasts, then why can't attempt to identify a link which could be closer to the incident! But then whoever has done this, has surely created panic and insecurity among the people. I hope we don't see anything similar to what has happened in Maharastra, where local politicians in their attempt to secure vote banks have gone on to an extent to even launch an anti-north Indian campaign and vandalism.
 
Let us hope our intelligence bureau wakes up with some smelling salts, or else they would only have b-rated Hindi movie stories for the media and public. Let us make an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth.



There is a city in my words,
the city that breathes.
There is a city in my words
and its winters and springs.

There is a word about my city,
the word that lives.
There is a word about my city
and its winters and springs.

There is a city in my mind,
the city that grows.
There is a city in my mind
and its silicone dreams.

There is a life in the city,
the city that bleeds.
There is a life in the city
and its blood and piss.
