Another Wednesday

Its been almost 26 hours now and the Police along with the military and the NSG commandos are on mission at the Taj Mahal Hotel and Oberoi Hotel. It is indeed a nightmare for many of us. These are the worst and the most dare attacks, sheer failure of Intelligence of Police, and great work of unity by the Mumbaikars and the Hotel Staff, and equally shameful act by the politicians, who are still busy justifying their correctness, and still giving statements to earn some votes. With all this happening in the financial capital in India, nothing is going to stop, because Mumbai never sleeps, and people will be out with same enthusiasm to work. For the first time ever the Stock Markets were closed in India, due to any king of terror attack. Wonder the Dalal Street and with what indices the exchanges open in the morning.

All said and done, but the damage has already been done. The landmark hotels of Mumbai, which were Icons of the city since a long time were set ablaze by a few crazy guys. Have a look at these. Me and Lokesh were planing to visit Cafe Leopold which is a very famous Restaurant and is also very famous amongst the tourists, has also been stormed by the terrorists, In fact it all started from there. I hope it reopens soon after all this ends. I also wish and pray and request you to do the same for the great politicians of the country, who have started playing there dirty game of Islamic terrorism and Hindu terrorism. Please give them some brains. These pics are from an avid blogger http://arunshanbhag.com/

One last word, do watch the movie A Wednesday, and Mumbai Meri Jaan, they will revive the spirit to fight against our very own conscience, jostled by these attacks.

Engineers of Jihad

It’s very true. It is reflected in our activities, in India it is irrespective of the cast or creed. In general the mentality of the engineers is of those of extremists, not in the crude sense, but when it comes to something very close to our heart, we are extremists to an extent. Things have changed over the years. Days of REC, people say were even more horrible. Students are involved in many activities which are different from the league like disputes with locals, Buses and Cinema Halls were burnt by the students and there was tremendous terror of the RE College student in and around Durgapur. Not only in this part of the country. The story was same allover the country.

Was wondering just to find out what is the reason of this kind of mindset, and could only come to the conclusion that, the way things happen around us, we don’t accept it without a proper reason and unless rational that sounds very absurd to us. I do believe that the engineers around the world, especially in the developing countries (or deprived nations) have the same mindset. Engineers also have some inclination towards religion. Most of the terrorist Organizations have their Think Tanks comprised of engineers. The demand of engineers is equal in all possible domains. So how can the terrorists stay behind?

In my search for this question related to the mindset of the Engineers and the reason why more and more terrorists group recruit Engineers I came across this paper. Download it and go through it once, and you will feel the importance of engineers in this very aspect as well.
