The writer wants war, yes, let's go to war right at home -- let's tackle on a war-footing deplorable living conditions, which includes the `cattle car' state in which Mumbai's commuters travel, each day, to earn their livelihood. What about our hospitals, just the front `lobby' if one may call it so, is enough to scare one away. I'm thinking of the thousands of dying and injured, who are currently spending forced time there. It makes one want to be sick, except that one can only do so at one's own peril. I'm sick of listening to India is booming, wish, we were brooming more. One wishes residential developments were planned and there were no troubles with water supply, electricity and cooking gas. One could go to war over paani, roti, kapda aur makaan, which aren't just the prerogatives of the educated employed and the elite. These should be a given for the lowest of wage earners. One wishes one could go to war with the entire greedy builders' lobby. Declare war upon greedy officials who allow building on unauthorized land and then hold hapless residents to ransom even as they are paying off their housing loans. That's enough war for all of our lifetimes.
