I just started my day in anger, grievance and shock today. I was chatting with one of my old friend yesterday night. He is in UK for study and while chatting he asked me to download a documentary on Mumbai Terror attacks. The documentary revolves around eye witnesses and their interviews just after the attack. It has rare videos shot just after the attack. The most amazing are the never heard calls which were made by terrorists and their commanders. There are security camera videos as well from Taj, CST and other places.
I can’t even begin to explain how bad I felt after watching the documentary. The guy whose whole family died is haunting me till now. His words “I don’t understand why they kill people” is what I can’t forget. I don’t think I will ever be able to. In the documentary there was a video which shows Policemen running away from CST as soon as they saw the terrorists. Well, I know people get scared of these kind of things. But then what is the difference between Police and Civilian. I am still not convinced that if there is anything that we have learnt from the Mumbai Attacks. I think we will never be.
My observation of the whole movie is :
Mumbai Police : Yes some fought brevely but some really did show that they are in a Govt. job not in a life saving job.
Indian Media : The most fucking and shitting media ever. They just show anything and everything. I just can’t tell you what I am feeling right now while writing this. They don’t even care what will happen if they show everything live. Our media is like If someone is dying, they would interview it first. Show it live and display EXCLUSIVE on their News Channel and the report back and the person will die in the back..
People : Here in India, people are so fond of Camera that they forget where they are. They just want to appear in front of Camera. No matter if anyone is dying just before them. They just want to be there and get interviewed.
I would recommend you all Indians, in fact every one in the world to watch this movie. There are some footages which are rare and not seen ever. See the people speaking. See the Indians talking about that devastating day when they lost their loved ones.
