looming gloom

Hollow cast
hollow doom...
snub mass,
creeping gloom...
why?
This is the phrase that crossed my mind, with the terror cast from the blasts in Bangalore today... till now 7 blasts have been reported with 2 causalities and 20 seriously injured... source identified as the gelatin sticks with nuts and bolts used as shrapnel and explosive of the quantity of 1 or 2 hand grenade...

But sadly, forgetting the injured people, the media is more vocal about the blame game... who is behind all this, terrorist SIMI or LeT are being pointed...
Why can't people and media be more focused on the issue at hand... why they roam around in circles, round and round the issue without really getting their hands into it... Making a 'Big-Fat-Fish' out of the sentiments of people is what always done...
And unfortunately 'we' become their preys willingly... panic... loose our common-sense and give in easily...
Where our logical thinking goes when it is actually needed?

But (not to forget) some of the new-age-gens are so much advanced and computerized that the when they get the ill-fated-news... the only reaction is to call home, check if everything is fine and go back to their precious computer screens... as if allz well!
How?? how can we be so in-humane??

I too checked home, checked with all my friends if they were fine and situation was under control... but i was not able to return to my work...
I looked around, people were busy with client calls, meetings... laughing... the daily office routine...
But... i just couldn't laugh... I went to my fav place to calm myself, but that also didn't help... so i decided to leave office by the very first bus leaving the campus since i hadn't come by my bike today...

As majority of the crowd was leaving early, I had to commute standing. And while standing in the bus only the above phrase came into my mind...

All the questions of the changing computerized life... thinking how people love machines more than fellow humans... How easily they communicate to machines, but when faced with a real person, they seem lost on words...
When did this transition happen?

But suddenly one guy asked me to take his seat... and i was like... curtsy still exists... humanity still exists...
But still, are people not losing the touch on how to express... how to initiate... how to bloom a smile... how to show the love...?
