I am ashamed to say this and not afraid to share this now with the rest of the cyber world, that last night, as the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I had hoped never ever to be in a situation to do.
Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow. For a very disturbed sleep.
Amitabh Bachchan (on his blog)
Mr. Amitabh, I don’t have a personal revolver like you. Nor do the rest of the billion common Indians. I don’t have a Z-Plus security like you. Nor do the rest of the billion common Indians. When I am out on the streets buying tandoori chicken, I am not sure if I myself would be burning the very next moment. When I am out at crowded places and I stare at other people, I am looking for weird faces, people that could be carrying explosives to kill me, and the people there. When I am at home, I am scared.
What is happening? I ask my mother. Where is the God that we pray to all the time?
Has he died or has he given it up?
Who’s got the answers? Have you?
