Terrorized terrorists

To,
Times Of India.
This is with reference to the cartoon made by R.K.Laxman in your paper dated Nov 1 2005, where he depicted the common man terrorized by the recent events of the terrorist attacks. An ardent admirer of him, me, would like to disapprove this time. After the bomb blasts of 1992, the very next day we saw 92% attendance in the offices. Even in New Delhi, the day after the bomb attacks, newspapers sprayed the city's resilience on their front pages. Four blocks away from the yesterday's bombsite we could see women buying utensils and ornaments. This has clearly shown the terrorists that India is unshakable. I'm not saying that we're stone hearted and have no feelings to moan about this loss. All I want to say is that, it takes every single person to do its bit in order to run this country, and we don't shun our responsibilities at the will of terrorists. This is a lesson for the terrorists.
