Consumer Society bigger than all!

It’s been 15 days now of the recent devastating terrorist attack that happened on the heritage building of the Taj and at various other places.

There was something definitely very different about this episode in spite of not being “the worst”; there have been various before, but this for a change provoked every stratum of the society.

A hit on the rich class’s life, middle class’s emotions and of course the third segment is forever involved. The crucial reason which give a different take to this whole chapter from every aspect, is the 24/7 revolution of the electronic media, which made us watch a continuous live war tagged with several emotions, which were never so seriously felt before, also helped us being judgmental, and reminded our responsibilities.

Some compare it with the 9/11, for the visuals laid a greater impact in our mind alike this one.

Now let’s take over the cribbing part, cribbing over the system, cribbing over the politicians, cribbing over the Media, cribbing over Pakistan, cribbing over the celebrities in fact also cribbing over ‘us’ the aam janta. People stood united to crib. But shouldn’t we?? Haven't we taken the oath officially in front of the whole nation to take care of the citizen’s security?

Have we got that money making power? We are purchasing a product that requires guarantee!!But unfortunately we are completely unsecure, so taxes & votes for what?? Where no life is valued. Whom to blame? The intelligence system! Who is too accurate to inform even the suspected time apart from the other details, The General Manager of the Taj! Who refused to ask for the sniffer dogs, for the carpet will be soiled and the guests will be disturbed.

The Politicians! Who were looking for a similar break? Or, we ourselves? Who have finally lost both faith & hope.

A conference of the World Diamond Merchant & also Economic Excellence Award was scheduled at Oberoi’s on the 28th November 2008, to be addressed by our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan singh. As per the Prime Minister’s security conduct, the place is supposedly be sealed with security two days prior, but apparently no doubt is left for our security anymore…. In spite of knowing to be on the top target on the terrorists list well in advance, Taj & Oberoi refused to give a layout to the commissioner Krishna Kumar.

Now why is this news away from the ever 'attentive' media, in this cribbing session, can be easily realized by all of us. After all apart from the money makers no one is left so ignorant anymore.
