The Terror attack on Mumbai was despicable, cruel and cowardly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and thier families. We would also like to salute and thank our hereos ( The commandos, the Indian soldiers, Navy's MARCOS, the police, brave employees at hotels ) who fought bravely rescueing the hostages.
Let us hope that this unfortunate event wakes up our political establishment in tackling terror more firmly with a determined will.
Other notable thoughts(just my opinion) :-
-- I was so angry with this incident that part of me wanted to go and fight with terrorist myself.
-- Our real heroes ( soldiers, commandoes and firefighters ) were transported in local transport bus whereas our cricketers always get the best of luxury. Not saying cricketers should not get luxury buses, but why should we ignore our real heroes.
-- After India won T20 Cricket cup, central government and states were scrambling to shower cricketers with millions of dollars. Why is no one doing the same with our real heroes?
-- One silver lining was that local bystanders gave standing ovation to our real heroes and watching that my eyes were numb for first time. It was like I was watching patriotic movie. I hope people do not forget this love for our heroes and our country.

Is this human?
Disgusting, criminal, pathetic, sickening, horrifying, shocking, .... I just cannot come to terms the word I can use to represent the above video. Apparently due to some college function pamplets not printing name of college in full(or something like that), students started a fight which after looking at the video just seem gory.
I know we all have difference but beating relentlessly a fallen human for full five minutes and that too by students of law college is beyond my imagination. How low can parental upbringing be of people who resorted to such criminal and senseless violence? Also seen in video are policemen watching all this gory violence 'helplessly'. I say helplessly coz I was said that cops would get into trouble politically if they do thier job. I guess that is the way we Indians have got used to and will live with.
Google with keyword 'chennai college fight' for news links.
God bless us, I can only pray.

Interesting and informative.
1 If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.
2 If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. For when a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off.
3 Your tongue is germ free only if it is pink. If it is white there is a thin film of bacteria on it.
4 The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.

23 If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.
