This is the f***ing limit … right on the weekend before Diwali … what the hell is going on?
All of a sudden, my stance against the war-on-terror has changed … overnight.
You* don’t f*** around with the joy and happiness of Diwali … you never, ever mess with it.
*Fracking jehadi terrorists.

Terror breeds tolerance of clampdowns by the authorities which leads to authoritarianism which then leads to resentment by the populace, resulting only in more violence of various kinds.
The terrorists win their goals, the control-freaks win their goals, only the ordinary citizens lose.
So just do what you’d do if you were in India and had to face this everyday. Know who’s responsible. Know that you/your family might be next. And don’t give a damn, and go on living your life as you always did. C’est La Vie.

I wish it was so easy, mentally reducing your stress in quick successions, and then going on as if nothing happened.
What you say makes sense (in a funny way) … but the side-affect of not giving a damn is worse … being reduced to an inconsequential piece of the puzzle.
