When the terror attacks happened in Mumbai on Nov 26th , I wondered what was the terrorist's goal ? what were they trying to achieve by killing innocent people ?
After about a month , I have slowly started to realise the impact ... they are not called 'Terror'-ists for nothing , their aim is to create panic, instill fear in the minds of people and they are slowing getting there , they are succeeding ! I say this, because my own perspective of strangers has changed now.
My first feeling is distrust ..."Well, who knows .. about this person ? " Can I safely trust the milkman, newspaper boy, gardener, LPG gas delivery guy, electrician, plumber, vegetable vendor, courier guy ... he may just be another live bomb, ready to explode any moment.
When we recently faced network issues in office and came to know it was because of some fiber cuts under the sea - my first thought was ' is it a terrorist act??' I don't know how a terrorist would gain anything by blowing up some cables underneath the sea, other than killing some precious sea creatures , but you never know ! Am I becoming paranoid ??
The answer is YES and its just not me ... its a whole country taken hostage by fear.
