The most worrying question is not "How India will react to this act of terrorism" but what will the film industry do, having lost both Sanjay and Salman in less than a month to prison, specially considering that Aamir, Sharukh and Akshay are booked solid till 2009. What will they do!! What will they do?!
Here's how the headlines go:
Sanjay has to spend another night because his sister, who hired a helicopter to deliver his interim bail papers to the jail officers was delayed.
Salman Khan spends first night in jail!! Exclusive coverage, stay with us.
Salman Khan's father, Salim khan talks to us exclusively. Excerpts read : His mother is in some kind of shock *ohmigod* and the family is dealing with all this. What else can they do?
On other news,
Girls in a government school aren't allowed to use the only bathroom that there is in the school, and are instead asked to use the drain in open view of male teachers and students.
Shibu Soren has been acquitted, and released from jail. He expresses wishes to become minister again.
Twin blasts in Hyderabad- around 30 dead and more than 70 people injured.
Women in a small town in Maharashtra take to the streets in protest against Liquor Shops- where men drink and then harass females. The district collector (much to my surprise) listened to them and has ordered elections on this issue. The women have been threatened by the men folk with blood shed and acid.
Coming up in the entertainment news:
All ministers refrain from throwing chairs and chappals and hurling insults in the Parliament when, the Japanese PM paid them a visit.
Left warns the government about operationlization of the 123 Agreement.
... And more. Stay with us.
I'm disgusted to say the least.
I don't give a tiny rats ass about Salman Khan's first night in prison. Because in spite of all the crap about "all prisoners are treated equally in my jail" money talks. Plain and simple.
"Justice has been served" ; "Our judiciary IS in fact impartial" and anything along these lines is utter crap again. When they're putting celebs in jail to save face they're also acquitting the Shibu Soren s of the world. For which by the by, I should actually be bowing down to the CBI. My apologies to the court. Whom I shall applaud for describing the CBI s effort as "miserable". I'd add a few more colorful words, but then I'm not sitting as the judge and most definitely do not have white hair.
Something as simple as asking for a discussion of the 123 Agreement in the Parliament and asking for clarifications before the deal is operationalized has been made into "What Will Listening to the Left do to the PM s self respect?" Jezus. All is does is show that we live in a democracy.
Pah. Anyway, like you can see, it was just another week in India. Hope you guys had a louely week.
All my love.
*yaaaaaawn* ....all that happened?? why didn't i see that on the news? ...no wait...i remember, there's no TV around me :P

All you Morons who like cussing, you are going to hell
All you preachers who like fucking, you are going to hell

Hell hell hell it’s a wonderful place
It’s a place of fire and brimstone
All you Christian politicians, you are going to hell
Magic Jesus apparitions send you to hell
Buddhist monks without god you are going to hell
Those of you dissecting frogs, you are going to hell
Lets add 1 more line to that shall we...
All you indian citizens you are going to hell
Oh wait.. were already there!
My bad
Yours darkly in the light

Well, it is frustrating, but mostly because we can't blame the media. They just give us what we ask for. Papers and news channels talk about celebrities because a majority of their readers and viewers want to know about celebrities. Why else would the news be so full of it?
We're in a democracy alright.

@Dark: If your aim was to shut me up, you've succeded :)
@Koze: Yeah, I know. I wouldn't mind a lil entertainment news once in a while but sensationalizing news-news into entertainment and/or putting page3 crap onto the first is bleddy painful.
@Koze: Advertise in the message box you moron.
Thanks for dropping by you guys,
All my love.
Hmm... the actual "unofficial" count was more like 70 dead and over 150 injured..
Other than restricting outings for a week or so, I don't see it affected ppl much. Including me. What a world it is, nay?
Triya,
Yes I know. Only, I wrote this post when it happened. Hence, the figure is smaller.
