TERRORISM STRIKES DELHI

9/13 A black day in our country's history. A catastrophe waiting to happen has struck the capital of India Delhi.6 blasts but all of a sudden i feel as if all of us have grown insensitive to the blasts and people dying in them.Many news channels were busy transmitting first shots of the victims lying on the grounds laying unattended with only the crews in site and nobody from the rescue teams yet there to help up the victims.Sounds very sad but the news crews chose to transmit live pictures of the victims rather than giving a hand to the harried rescue workers or put down there cameras to help the injured.They might say it was there duty but can anyone tell me is any duty worth a human life lying in front of you dying ,bleeding grimacing in pain?

Its time for introspection which sadly none of us will do. Various news channels will run a story of how it all went wrong and what the government ought to do.some stories of bravery would undoubtedly come out of all the chaos but will the news channels run a story telling us how there crews stood dere transmitting images of people dying in front of the camera when nobody was there to help the victims?Our media claims to be very enlightened and wants to be counted among the best in the world but i am sad to say in there mad rush for TRP'S they have just managed to stoop to another new low.
