Here are 2 of the funniest cartoons I have seen on the Blasts:
This one from the AsianAge:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~While this one is from DNA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It seems some of you didn't get it, that the thought I had last expressed was a sarcastic one. I wrote that coz some sill hack would soon claim some numerical reason for the bomb blasts happening on 11/7/2006, and I wanted to pre-emept that.
And low and behold, I got two emails claiming exactly that.
The first one claimed:
while another claimed that :

The first one claimed:
11 minutes 7 places 8 blasts.
Tuesday was the 11th day of the 7th month, in the year 2006; and we know the numerical root of 2006 is 2+0+0+6=8
while another claimed that :
The blasts happened on 11/7/2006; Now 1+1+7+2+6=17; 1+7=8;The thing with numerology, and especial this hindsight kind of numerology is that once you have a series of random numbers, you can definitely find some complicated formula which will fit that data. I'll start believing in numerology, once they effectively predict a future event, and it happens exactly when they claim it will happen.
now we know that 8 is the number of Saturn, which brings along calamity and destruction; Further more 8 will explain why bad things happen on the 26th; becaue 2+6=8 [refer to my earlier post: 26, The bad luck day!]

i was thinking on similar lines as the first cartoon because of the 'never say die' spirit of bombay the blasts may not get the attention they require by the government maybe its better if the next one day atleast everything is still. Also this time can be spent mourning in silence that would be amazingly transformative for the people.
Cause after 1993 some 2 years back there were a few blasts and i doubt anybody remembers much about those.
chiga~ the first cartoon is a satire on the way the union treates the City of Mumbai. Most people, including Mumbaikars sweep the problems under the carpet by saying "Mumbaikars are reslient, they will overcome anything. They have a never say die spirit." And we have been happy with these words, and have accepted the inaction of the various central governments.
IMHO, Mourning in silence does not do anything. You have to understand the situation, and adapt to it. You have to learn lessons from the past and change yourself.
So when you say that no one remembers the "blasts from the past" [pardon the pun], I'll claim that as a very good reason why these things keep on happening again & again.
See most of the time when they say take a few moments of silence its such a big joke cause not one person involved in that is capable of being silent.
But for one who is capable of silence for him it wil be amazingly transformative.
And the reason i thought of this is because most people around who are working all the time the reason they do that is because they cannot be silent.
Basically i dont think people are capable of silently mourning any more.
And see learning lessons and adapting is what has to be done anyhow... it is managing the situation but this silence will take you beyond managing the situation it will be a boost for your inner situation.
