That's it ... Can't take more!

I curse the traffic of Mumbai, gulped it ...
I curse the filthy roads in rain of Mumbai, swallowed it ...
I spend more hours traveling than at home, accepted it ...
Waded through knee high water just just week, tolerated it ...
Seen shit corruption in the city, hated it ...
Had no example to explain my daughter the meaning of the word "adarsh", shrugged it ...
and many more...

But now that's it...can't take more!

Once more our great city is bleeding! Bleeding with yet another terrorist attack! On every attack, I happen to be on roads always, away from my family, away from Siya, away from Vipul! Have no choice at that point of time but to be numb, scared, helpless and just wish for "I hope I see my my dear ones just once".

I as a common man of Mumbai, is doing everything to help the city be better, I pay my taxes on time, I don't mess with government's rules, in short, everything that one good human being should do for their city! But what has the city given me. It has not even provided me the basic security. I shocking to see the regularity with which these blasts strike the city and then get statements like "we have avoided 90% of blasts". Innocent people on the streets are killed and they simply become counts in the newspapers for a date (I just saw today morning). Isn't security the basic necessity that the government should provide to us? Are we asking too much! If we are then I must say we are unfortunate to have such a government. A government that only demands but has no supply of even the basic. I so much hope that a few of these politicians would have been victims, only then we would have safety.

"We will meet again" is statement that I will never be able to use again in Mumbai. Yes, I will get back and run to work, uncomfortably numb. Not for its famed resilience, but simply to survive. as said by Sumit
