Muted New Year FestivitiesBy: Sanjana | Thursday , 1 Jan '09 10:26:07 AM Reply | Forward By doing all these are we not proving that the Terrorists have accomplished their mission to instill fear into the hearts of the local Indian Citizens?

Lekin Hum Kisi say Darney Wale Nahi Hai!!" and along with this each individual needs to ensure security and that is the best way to deal with it and not sitting scared in 4 walls or the Cops and media trying to frighten those who are not scared.
