Dear Indians,
We all know we suffer from collective amnesia but I was confident this was different; This terrorist attack had awakened a new kind of India, I thought. While I would pontificate in the fancy sidewalk cafes of Los Angeles on the future of my mother India, I would eagerly await every news article that would detail the horror of that night. That night when my mother lost 3 of her prominent and much respected sons. What may have happened? I wondered? I ran many "What if" scenarios in my tiny computer literate brain. But, no answers. Directionless protests in the immediate aftermath were followed by deafening silence on the details of THAT night. I was fuming. How could we not even blame someone (Top security officials or politicians) or something (Security Apparatus) for the unedeniable horror of THAT night? Some of us are already anointing India as the next super power. I speculated. Do future superpowers only build tall brick buildings or do they also build an accountable system based on thorough analysis? Well, I temporarily slaked my thirst with the first thorough reconstruction of that night by a respectable media house.
