My Nation Today...


Volunteering themselves into the mayhem;
Their life at stake, but little did they mind.
Their focus: the safety of a beloved Nation,
Encountering terror upfront; the bravest men of its kind.

Its not just today, a whole family wept,
For the cause of a country to remain unscathed.
They've taken the bullets on their chest,
They are the true men, the true patriots; at their best.

Salutes the Nation, the audacity of its martyrs,
But shuns in shame at the divided dirty politics.
Failing so miserably, in both governing and opposing;
Little do they realize? The power hungry demagogues?

A monument charred and numerous dead,
The terror carved in the hearts of few hundred,
A resolute Nation, irreparably scarred;
The question remains unanswered, for how long so hard?

- Veena
- Dedicated to the Brave NSG Commandos, the Indian National Army, the Mumbai Police and to the numerous civilians who risked their life to save the numerous lives that they did on a day that the Face of India was re-written in the International History of Terror. 26th November 2008..

Our nation today is a reflection of socialism and capitalism against two ends of the spectrum. You have the so-called 'socialist' politicians trying to take decisions that impact millions of capitalist, young entrepreneurs. Polar opposites.......Until this scenario changes, there is no light for us all.

I dont want to point fingers at a time of crisis, but imagine the PM moving P.Chidambaram from being the Finance Minister to Home Affairs Minister. Is Chidambaram the only 'able' minister that Dr.Singh could find in India. This is utter B.S.!!!
Like my wife mentioned, "it is like asking the biology teacher to teach mathematics, hell both are teachers anyway"

Obviously, there is a serious lack of sensibility within the Government. But then, the nation is left with very few (if any) choices.

The Dawn is yet to come. But the difference can be made individually.

Excellent tribute to the valiant heroes of India!! Keep it up..
Now India has to convert its anger into positive energy.. Nation's security network is the foremost thing to be looked.. We had militants roaming with machine guns in back-packs on the streets of a crucial city.. Where are we??
