hey D,
like i said i am partial to No.14 on the list. This was a fact when all the other disasters that happened earlier never got reported or publicised or talked about as much as the mumbai terror attacks. Never before have so many superstars and celebrities come together in outrage at this happening. Let me just keep aside all the other disasters and talk about two that happened in Mumbai. The bomb blasts on the suburban trains and the recent terrorist attack on the Taj etc. During the suburban train blasts there was no major outrage among the high profile citizens (educated and neo rich young etc) and the superstars as much as the opinions/solutions dished out during the terrorist attacks. Reason : the Mumbai blasts affected the common man who travel in crowded suburban trains packed like rats whose life is not of any much consequence. Just a token outpouring of sympathy from people who have never travelled by suburban trains ever. Contrast this when terror spreads its wings to the door step of places where the neo rich and the super rich frequent. Suddenly there are comments like 'I was at the Taj having breakfast two days ago'. 'The Oberoi is where i had a party yesterday'.'There should be something done right now about this'. When the same thing happens to the common man on a train, its something that can never happen to you but when it happens at your favorite watering hole, then the richie rich realises that they are not immune any longer. So create a huge furore so that steps are taken to ensure that their future visits to the coffee shops are well secured and peaceful like it used to be not so long ago. and what better for these stars and wannabe stars neo rich and super rich to give sound bites to the media who in turn are just waiting for these juicy titbits for entertaining news. When it comes to floods in Assam et al, these very people get down from their fancy cars, stand in a truck for fifteen minutes and give passionate announcements to the janta to donate old clothes and such stuff. And all this hype has only gone on to make the five stars more secure and the CST am sure is just the same juicy target it was for the terrorists on the day it was attacked and our suburban trains are just waiting for a crazy bomber to plan a peak time disaster.
Sorry but I am pretty curious and a little confuse, why those books will never be written? Or am i missing something here?
Hi Deepa,
Bumped into your blogs and also the other blogs you follow. Good stuff.
You may wish to look into my blog - http://sudiptounplugged.blogspot.com - you might like a few things. I try to capture all the interesting discussions and debates that we have amongst ourselves in this blog..

Hey Stan
I totally agree that if it wasn't the Taj or Oberoi, would not have warranted so many celebrities/actresses and the ilk coming forward. After all the rumour was that the terrorists were targetting Malabar Hill not Dombivli/Dahisar etc...you know where the "Common Man" lives..
Yes am certainly a part of the citizens who is now thinking what next, and enough is enough etc..only because of the audacity and the cheek that the terrorists had. Think about it, the CST rail terminus..it could have been any one of us...and thats chilling..
hi Bhing,
Thats cool. What it means is, books are usually written by an AUTHORITY on a subject. But in this case, these are people in Denial, altho the book titles mentioned would actually reflect on them for sure..
Interesting read.
Deepa, you have an absolutely marvelous sense of humor and sense of irony!
I love this post-- I don't have all your references (being an apathetic Canadian-- what book will I never write? "A Vancouver Island Overview of World Politics" maybe)but I believe that I follow the irony. I want to read more of your blog now! I invite you over to my pretty pedestrian blog at www.positively-vibrant.blogspot.me
tried picking the best one... couldn't do it...
I like you list. Very thorough. Thanks
