A Terrorist attack is nothing new. But how the system responds to it gives an assurance to the people of the city because you never know when the terrorists will strike again. What happened at Hyd will surely give goosebumps to Hyd'badis whenever they go out with their family during the weekend to see a movie or to have fun in a park or even when they go out to eat in a restaurant.
The infrastructure of the city , touted to be the next big Indian city of the future, completely failed. At Gokul chat, no ambulance arrived. Heck! There was no police to take care of the proceedings. ( How well the police constables are trained to handle such situations is yet another question. ) All the injured were taken to the hospital in autos and buses ! It may indicate the dynamism of the Hyd'badi public as a whole but thats not the way things should be. The lack of policemen saw the media person make merry. As usual blood , dead bodies and soon crying family members will be on TV . Courtesy : The media today.
Within 24 hours, the government has come up with an Islamic Terrorist organization. Whats in the name? They are all the same. And even I , thousands of miles away from Hyd'bad, know that it is SIMI which is behind it.Why ? Simple. Gokul Chat.
The bomb at this eatery only indicates that the terrorist who planned it is from Hyderabad. Not only that, the scary part is that this indicates that he is not only young, but probably educated. Because, this is located at Koti, a heaven for book lovers.A place where you can find any book in the world for 1/4th its original price.
In fact, I have many fond memories of that place. I remember buying all the 5 books of Harry Potter books and gifting them to my sister on her B'Day. And those countless times I went to buy novels. And every time I went there , I did eat at the Gokul chat.
And that this terrorist could convince their bosses that this was a good target.( even though it wasn't have high profile place and even the "number of kills" would be less ) This means that either the young terrorists are very smart or that their bosses themselves are Hyd'badis !! Scary , isn't it ? Their psyche is just getting more and more complex.
What is the solution to all this?Nothing comes to my mind. Oh God, Why wasn't I born in a era when conflicts could be resolved through wars.

The number of kills was less, as per "terrorist standards" because it was raining and people stayed in. And your wish has come true even before you were born, or anyone of us were born. We ARE the generation of resolution-by-war world. The only bottleneck that has emerged successfully, is the number of bureaucratic and political tags being attached to the simple "eliminate the scum" approach!!!
