Desensitized

I returned to my seat at 3.20 PM. Saw rediff.com. Immediately called by friends over in Bengaluru. The phone lines were jammed, part of the tradition. Had tea. Attended a meet. Called again at 4.30 PM. Relieved that my friends were safe.
Went back to work.

It was good to know only gelatine was used as against the industry standard RDX.
It was almost a relief that there was only one casualty.

I only hope some minister does not give statements like, ‘When compared to terror attack in other states, we are happy to say this was very mild’

This has become almost like an annual affair, only the venue gets shifted randomly among the major metros.

I think we can formally publish a process document for terror attacks. Who should say what can be picked from a template - handiwork of terrorists, city on full alert, request to maintain calm and peace, a media report about how our people showed resilience by having masala dosa tomorrow.

I feel like impotent
