Lot of put writing at even 2800!...

Why not dear RN?

I mean every word of it.. Did you watch the NRI trapped in Taj... Had not eaten for almost 26 hours, and not slept. He agreed to speak to the media, and felt sick while talking. He asked for a break at least on 4 occasions... but the insensitive media just kept on with the interview.

There were numerous such incidents... Running after people who havent even had the time to collect their wits after being released from the trauma of being trapped, an eternal wait that could end with death, and did for so many.

Did you not watch the commercials during the broadcasts? That is what commercialisation of tragedy is all about... Have you not seen scores of mediaperson broadcast a person committing suicide ever? Making no attempt to stop it, as then there will be no news... This is crass commercialization of what used to be a noble profession...

Did you not overhear casual remarks made by one of the mediapersons from NDTV when he was not aware he is on air?

Is the media so naive that they didnt know the strategic importance of not revealing NSG`s moves to the world at large? Only repeated requests from the administration and the forces made them stop it, and that too for a very short time... The interim attempts are also revealing --- focusing the camera on the mediaperson, but making sure the hot spots are in the frame just behind the mediaperson.

They were all competing against each other, as they always do - to be the first ones to sensationalise any bit of news they can lay their hands on... How united they are indeed!

The way the tv media behaves is like prostitutes of the lowest order - pandering to the unbridled passionate desires of their consumers - and going to any length to do it... No dignity, nor integrity!

And just wait for a couple of days, and see how much coverage all the politicians will get.. coz these events will be the past, and election results are what will sell... Already there are ads on some channels... so much for the campaign against politicians...

My apologies if this does not go down well with you, but to me this is the truth.

Regards...

I think all the media channels are highly irresponsible...

They displayed utter lack of sensitivity towards the forces by broadcasting the preparation and the operations live.

They started harassing people who were trapped in the hotels as soon as they manage to get released, without even giving them time to breathe free air.

They showed commercials while the operations were on.

They are now capitalising on the emotions of the masses by taking up this "cause" against politicians.

...

Dear Novice,

Thank you so much!

This message is of immense value to me, as it helps me to keep the faith myself....

Words fail me here, but words are not important in the world of hearts...

Hope we live to see the world that is ruled by hearts, "assisted" by clear minds.

regards

PKK,

I agree this is not the time to be emotional, but asking the right questions, and introspection.

There was state sponsored terrorism even before 1990... That is what led to calls for Khalistaan, and cost the sponsor of terrorism her life, and led to widespread violence against Sikhs in the 80s.

regards
...

Lovemeall

Hello again.

Yes, even i have a feeling there is something nasty brewing... And it will be again driven by power politics unfortunately.

I agree that when a crisis of the nature presents itself, it needs to be dealt with and should not be taken lying down. And i am not implying that one should not resort to self-defense.

But it also presents us an opportunity to reflect upon what each one of us can do to cut the roots of the problem - which i believe is intolerance for fellow human beings, and greed for personal wealth and power.

We should also look at what US stands for clearly, the nation that used to be the most vocal support of capitalism and free market economies. It stands exposed during the current crisis. What capitalism implies is more wealth and power for the wealthy and powerful. And it is masked with "democracy" - the right of people to choose! When the wealthy make mistakes, it is always the poor who pay for it - so the rich get bailed out, and poor keep paying.

Also, history tells us that any third world country that has joined hands with the US has virtually lost its soveregn status - be it Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq - they were all very close allies of US at some point of time.

As for Indira Gandhi - she achieved creation of Bangladesh as a separate state... India still keeps paying a price for it while she rests in peace in her grave! It was the lust for power that ruled her father, that led to Pakistan becoming a separate state!!

The political leaders are certainly going to try and exploit the emotional outrage felt by the people now.. SO we need to be sure that we do not allow ourselves to be ruled by our emotions at this point of time, and give careful thought before supporting plans put forward by these "leaders".

Hope that everyone looks at things in a holistic manner before responding to their calls.

Regards...

What difference does it make whether one is confined to oneself, ones home/family, the extended family, neighbourhood, city, state, or nation.... These remain boundaries that divide... peace cannot rule in a divided world... ...

I am sure terrorist also take take full advantage of the game send their opperatine to india SNAP ALL TIES WITH PARKISTAN What say? ...

The much talked about spirit of Mumbai was on the fore once again, with the city displaying exceptional tolerance and courage while brave soldiers were busy battling the terrorists. The nightmare is now over. The terrorists are dead. And the anger and frustration the city was seething with has finally started to ooze out. While the city has been left to pick up the pieces, politicians, who laid low through the ordeal, have started hogging airtime once again. On Sunday, when the storm was finally over, residents of the city carried out a peace protest from Radio Club to Taj hotel, flaying the government and praising brave security personnel who fought the militants. `We would be happy had our politicians been the victims` read a placard, while another criticised the media for covering politicians visiting the Taj and giving speeches. `Why are you showing politicians coming to visit the Taj? Show us the real heroes, the commandos who saved lives`, it read. There were many other telling one-liners enough to shake the government and shame it enough to take concrete steps. Some of them read: `Don`t be divided by politicians`, `UN must take over Pakistan`, `Is a genuine bullet-proof jacket too much to ask for our brave policemen?`, `We are awake. When will our politicians wake up?`, `Who will act, people or the government?` There have also been a slew of SMSes doing rounds. While some are demanding MNS chief Raj Thackeray to come out and save the city, others say one should not worry about `those who have come through boat (terrorists), but about those who have come through vote`. One SMS read: `And now the president is visiting our Mumbai tomorrow to provide lip service. Do we want our brave cops to run behind these useless politicians or do we want them to focus on the investigations? We must stop all politicians from visiting Mumbai for their own political gains and hamper the investigations. Please join in to protest against such visits. Please convey this to all Mumbaikars.` Another stinging SMS read: `Please forward Raj Thackeray`s phone number. Don`t know where he is when you need him. We want him to go and save aamchi Mumbai along with his MNS goondas, the sons of the soil. Army, NSG commandos are not Marathi manoos. Why should they fight or lay their lives for Mumbaikars?` And not wanting to be left behind is supposedly the BJP, using the SMS as a tool to malign the Congress. `Enough is enough. The terrorists have not only attacked Mumbai but our national pride. India can no longer afford a weak government. Mehangi padi Congress.` Another SMS reveals the rage among the people, it says: `I don`t want to light a candle to bury my remembrance for those who have died. My heart is full of anger, resentment, pain and revenge. I see no victory. I see no reason to celebrate. I see no reason to hoist my national flag outside the Taj Hotel. Ten terrorists had the power to make the entire nation go crazy for 60 hrs.` The general public is angry. The politicians are gaining mileage. And the government is busy making promises of strict action against the perpetrators of terror. [India2day]...

raj i did not send the earlier message.. i dont know how somone is being able to post in my name.. i sent the second one asking for the persons id... it is not even amongst my sent messages.. besideds there are no typos..my hallmark Ritts...

Its anybody`s guess. The last time Nifty tested 2250, it showed wild volatility on that specific day and close above 2500. So testing any new low level should not be problematic, unless it starts to sustain lower than 2000 which appears highly unlikely under present circumstances. Our preparedness for Nifty 1900 will not find us in a state of awe, if jolts are felt anyhow. Market loves to leave punters guessing most of the times and its movements are not designed for a specific individual. Taj would look more attractive now after having gone through such a turmoil. It stood untarnished for 105 years and will definitely adorn India for decades in the future as well. Let us endure optimism. Thanks....

YEN DOLLAR ratio has gone down quickly from 95+ to 94- within a few hours today! Keep a watch on that ratio for continued moves! Gud luk & happy investing!...
