Finally, it looks like the carnage is going to end. But still not sure if I will read "Fresh firing erupts" in one of these Indian websites. What irritated me the most during these past 4 days is the idiotic news reporting by the Hindi news channels. Shouting at the top of their voice trying to create some sort of sensationalism. On the other hand, I was watching some western news channels and the delivery of news was solemn and measured. No shouting, no exaggerating. But then, news from channels like Aaj Tak have always been about sensationalism. So this is just another story for them. Plenty of opportunity to show off their 'reporting' skills. One of my friends even found the reporters of the same channel vying with each other to get their voice in first! Hey, what about some respect for the dead and dying!
But I still cant understand the logic behind the attack. What was gained here? Popularity? Or was some cause won? I dont think so. Can we blame Indian security? Can ANYONE have dreamed that terrorists would attack the Taj Palace hotel? Impossible. No amount of intelligence can imagine this kind of attack. And that is the most worrying part. What next?
