It is totally disheartening to see so many people killed. But being normal is the need of the hour. It we have festivals, we need to celebrate it. This is to send a strong message to the terrorists that we are not shaken with their terror attempts. If all people stop celebrating or decline to carry on with their usual life, then it will be a victory for the terrorists. Bangladeshi and Pakistani terrorists are suspected to be behind this savage attacks. These are people who have no value for life and do not know how to enjoy their own. Such a sadist. Happy Onam and Rakshabandhan to all my beloved country folks!

When the bomb blast occurd in Hyd, the so called media giants like CNN-IBN, NDTV (read paparazzis) etc were covering salman Khan and Katrina Kaif (in particular) and the rest of the time they telecasted what Sunjay dutt is doing. So u dont have any complaints abt that? Didnt that anger you? U r more worried abt this small article in internet? Gr8. And one more thing. Onam is a festival celebrated by Keralites just like the whole India celebrates Diwali. Its not a Nonsense. Mind your language.

WHAT'S THIS NORTHY & SOUTHIE BIZ, its becoz of A@@ h@Les like u the hindu community gets divided and the terrorists take advantage.
Don't u know that 30,000 marriages took place the very next day (Sunday) in AP including that of Chandrababu's son with NTR's granddaughter in Hyderabad. Also Tirumal Tirupathi Devastanam conducted hundreds of marriages for poor people under the programme 'Kalyanamastu' on the same sunday. What is wrong in celebrating festivals which enhances joy of people?. Do you belong to YSRajasekharReddy's congress????
