The Positives of 26/11

The whole world has been talking about the attack on Mumbai and the negative sentiments it conveyed.With due respect to all those who succumbed to the terrorist bullets on that day, I still see quite a few positive points coming out of that fateful day.
1. The Page 3 of India moved to page 1 for a sad reason and got a first hand feel of terror and its repurcussions on one's life, which probably has helped to make this incident appear as INDIA"S NINE ELEVEN as the journalists put it.
2.It was the final nail in the coffin to prove internationally that Pakistan is surely nurturing the terror organisations against India.
3. At last the politicians came up with what India needed for a long long time - a federal agency against terror and more teeth for the laws against terror.
4. Three most useless people in the Indian political scenario were finally shown the door - Shivraj Patil, Vilasrao Deshmukh and R.R.Patil
5. The "lal batti car" status provided to the overprotected netas was reevaluated and the police were relieved of the shame of protecting 50 useless politicians and were back to doing what they were trained to do- fight for the citizens of India.
6.Actors like Rahul Bose who have little to do as far as their career as an actor is concerned got a chance to talk about something in the media besides their embarrassing box office records.
Well, I guess there would be more to add to that list but at least not everything is grey and sad about the happenings of that horrifying day.Every cloud does have a silver lining after all!
