Condolence Message:I'm shell shocked at the apathy of the government machinery that has let our people die as though there is no value to human lives. Equally disgusting is to see all TV channels (including government controlled) continuing to show the entertainment programs without a sense of shame. Where are you Sushmita Swaraj, why didn't you mourn and ban these in your channels?

Condolence Message:Tears do well in my eyes when I see the heart-rending scenes of the calamity on television. At the same time, I feel sad on resurgence of the baser instincts of the Indian folk at this moment of crisis. What to speak of the people who are looting trucks carrying relief supplies to distant areas. I agree that in the blindness of pain and agony, coupled with apathetic bureaucracy such wild reactions are not unexpected. But doesn't it happen the same way every time .. Charkhi-Dadri plane crash saw neighbouring villagers coming only to lay a hand on bangles and ornaments off dead bodies! and now we have men stealing from broken houses and shops in Gujarat!! When will the common Indian start behaving himself ? I say, in this moment of grief, all those who have been spared (including we, in other parts of India) must learn to behave ourselves in the normal times first. United we stand (only in good times), together we fall (in bad days). What are the parents doing to enducate new generation on basic civic manners. When will we stop turning our cities into ghettos? (How could Surat's plague-epidemic come about, otherwise?) We Indians are always putting the blame for failures on Government and sparing ourselves. Wrong! Why can't 20 men stand in a queue for the bus everyday? If they did that first, there would be no chaos in times of distress.

Condolence Message:" If not now then NEVER , Let Us Unite For Ever " May their soul rest in peace. The situation could have been avoided though can not be overcome. The time has come now, we must now unite together and fight against crime and curruption. In other countries the only punishment for curruption is DEATH, and people do get scared even when they think of doing crime. Compare this with INDIA, 10,000-2,00,000 Rs to escape & avoid murder case. 1,000-1,00,00 Rs to avoid tax. God only knows when would gov wake up and act for the people. Our Neta's (Not all) simply go and fight into the parliament, they even dont know how much is spent per day for parliament. Does anyone know how much money is pumped into the Army, I dont say its waste but should be spent when needed. Who the hell need nuclear weapons? People stand in the elections with 2 murder cases(prerequisite) still people vote in their favour as if they will do some justice to them. Let me be clear and sound in telling you all that INDIA will never become a GOLDEN BIRD again till the time People of INDIA wakeup and unite together. I shall be very thankful if some one could pass this messege to Juswant Sinha. .. " Tax should and must be deducted at source to improve the stability in the economy of India. People should surrender the black money they have for good cause. If not they must pay double the amount upon discovery of black money. " Mr. Promod Mahajan would be very much thankful when he really uses the tool of IT to setup an anonymous web site where people of INDIA could directly communicate with the government and express their views. My heartly thanx to everyone who thinks in the similar fashion. Raj Shekhar.
