The Official Reaction

When India lost the match against Australia in the last world cup without giving a fight, people were Angry. They threw stones and black paint on players' homes. They burnt effigies.

When Ganguly was not selected for the ongoing ODIs against SL, people were Angry.They burnt effigies of selectors and of Chappell.

We lost 60+ innocents in another terrorist attack in Delhi and these effigy-burners seem to be on vacation.

Our official reaction, by the Prime Minister, is that we continue to be disturbed and dismayed.

I am impressed by this toughest possible reaction, I am sure we will be able to avoid further problems if we can provide a medical certificate that our PM was emotionally scarred and a couple of ministers had to use anti-depressents. Maybe Laloo wore a black armband while enjoying the cricket matches. Jayalalitha skipped the early morning dessert for a week. Shiv Sena called for a Mumbai bandh and yes, a bunch of people demanded the resignations of each other.

Meanwhile, there was another blast in Srinagar.
