Take it Easy Policy !

It has been a longtime since I have wrote something on my blog and finally I wanted to share something and here comes the entry !

Right now I am in Delhi with my parents for a short visit, and there happened to be 3 bomb blasts here a couple of days back ! And one thing that fascinated me here was that the people here didn't react the way I imagined they would ! There was utter chaos and panic just for a few hours and the death toll should have been pretty high than what was mentioned in the media, but then the public just sprang out for diwali shopping the next day !

All the shops opened the next day afternoon, people were busy shopping sweets,crackers,dresses and getting prepared for the most celibrated Hindu festival. I was just amazed by the way my fellow brothers here live, with no big fuss ! The song that came to my mind seeing that was "Don't worry, Be happy !". Infact, just the SARS/Bird flu threat itself had sent people of Singapore into jitters, people there had stopped going to theatres and their day to day
activites had reduced manifold !

Anyways I can see Indians have proved to go with the "Take it Easy policy" again !
