When is my Turn?

As I saw the dreaded pictures of another blast rocking Mumbai, in spite of all my positivity about India, I couldn’t stop thinking “WHEN IN MY TURN??” The reviews, comments, action points, condolences poured in from around the political front not only from with in India but also from outside India. Problem is they are exactly same to what we got after 26/11.
Government got into defending himself and opposition parties on to blaming the Govt. and making sure they can get some brownie points on this. TV channels got busy in showing some of the most gruesome and sentimental stories and we had numerous shows showing the spirit of Mumbai etc. and some experts made money and got some more publicity out of the whole thing.
Everyone missed the most important part of the story that ultimately its common man who gets injured, killed or handicapped. He who just wants to live a simple life of working hard, earning daily and living with his family. He who pays taxes, abides by law, gives vote to elect a Government which can’t even provide security to him. Whatever anyone says, at the end of it he is the one who gets shaken by these incidents.
As the incident happened I think about the traffic jam in Delhi or Gurgaon and the impressive malls/ markets/ offices. Are they safe? I think about the trains/ airplanes? As a common man of this country where is it that I can feel safe and secure? Infact the question to be asked is whether we as a common man of this country have any sense of security left in ourselves or we just keep living, waiting for the day to be slaughtered by either one of these terrorist attack or killed by our own police wala gunda or to be sucked by the corrupt politician? Waiting “When is my turn?”
