The blasts will take place, form headlines and slowly fade away from memories of people at large, except for those who have suffered. Politicians will give some lac of rupees and utter some standard phrases against terrorism (careful not to hurt sentiments of terrorists). Media will be again busy publishing news of whats happening in bedroom of celebrities and life will continue and we will be busy going to our work and worry about meeting our ends... If we really want to learn from these incidents and prevent them from happening then, we will have to act, YES, we will have to act. Most of us will simply talk, criticize and blame here or there and just enjoy it like a gossip; some may write some sensational messages on internet boards and will enjoy reactions. All this is very obvious and easy BUT the difficult thing is to contribute positively. ARE WE READY FOR IT???? Those of us who are, can do these simple things, 1. Keep a watch on activities around us- homes, workplace, etc. 2. Inquire, discuss and report any suspicious activity, person with neighbours, society and Police. 3. Once identified, take care of removing terrorist-connected/supporting people/families from our neighbourhood and ensure they don't get any place nearby through social pressure groups.
May be more suggestions can come from all the people here on board...

Dr Vinay Gupta,
At last I am able to see somebody talking sensibly. I congratulate on doing so. The same people who talk all these rubbish things are not contrbuting positively. They are just complicating matters. Instead Government should come in open and seek people co operation and also urge muslim community to disown these terrorists and their organization. These terrorists are going to anyway destroy the muslim community. It is high time that Muslim community take the responsibility and start doing something about these terrorists who claim and mislead that they are saviours of ISLAM, which in fact is other way round. Please correct me Dr Gupta If I am wrong.
