These wounds go deep

I have been out from the web for almost a month. I had to get a new internet connection. Anyways my modem's here and loads of stuff happened in between but the most shocking news was but obvious the mumbai massacre .. the embarrassing story of how 10 guys came into our homes , took us hostage and literally brought us to our knees. Since I did not have the internet at home...I used to spend considerable amount of time at the office catching up on the news. I cudnt help feel helpless at the entire situation..the 3 long days of horror. I am glad its over now. Kudos to our commandos. But the feeling of embarassment still exists. I mean my japanese colleagues were all soo surprised as to how could some guys just take over a building and like start firing everyone in sight. I had a hard time explaining what a "siege" is and what a "hostage situation" meant. For them it was the stuff they saw in the movies. Anyways but I hope the entire thing brings a radical change..we should learn from our mistakes and do everything we can to avoid such things in the future. I just hope we dont get affected internally. Cuz if we do then that really means these motherfuckers have won...and we should not and I hope would not let them win!
During these difficult times, we often search for a source of strength and nothing makes me feel powerful than music. So I am listening to this song "Say Goodbye" by one of my favourite Indian Band - Junkyard Groove. There's a live version of it here.
