Shocked !

Benazir Bhutto was just killed by a suicide bomber! Whew, its frightening & shocking!

*Update*

Not that i am a big fan of Benazir's or something. But the point that struck me was like - what kind of a place is today's pakistan - imagine like 17 crore people (thats like 170 million people) all running amok & bombing each other and stuff - whew !

I know a few pakistanis we do business with - they re the most well educated, uh, Shareef people ive met and i have excellent regards for them - I just wonder how much of a proportion of pakistan is like this - Can they somehow overcome this kind of scenario now ?

The same story in Bangladesh too - i remember my trip to Dhaka last year pretty vividly - large, well to do companies have like 14 foot walls topped with barbed wire and armed private guards - i mean - they fucken FEAR for their physical safety.

I have heard of people who lived for a long time in Punjab telling the same thing - I was once telling a bunch of them like this - Arre, who will be animal enough & Crazy enough to do stuff like this without thought ? I mean, if the guy just thinks for like 3 seconds - he will just stop doing such violent crap and get to work - but it appears that the answer is much more complicated than that - the fact is the i really havent met any of these Zeolot types.

Funny, i was reading 'The Kite Runner' the other night - i felt the same thing - i mean - where will our best laid plans go if theres sudden anarchy & Violence :)

Crazy shit, i cant imagine it happening in Madras ;)

We're blessed & fucken lucky, arent we ?
