Cancel Christmas - The Terrorists Are Coming!

By now all of us are in the absolutely jingositic mode and serious faced when we talk about the 'War on Terror'. We have done our bit beating down the inept politicians, shedding a tear for the martyrs and joined the usenet groups for Saving India and Fighting terror. Few of us may have stepped out the e-world and joined protest marches and lit a candle!

All that till the next 'Intelligence Information' that comes in from your newspaper or your news channel. Of course the other reliable information is from 'I heard from an army source..'type of stuff that comes on an SMS. WE JUST GO BONKERS after that! We will stop breathing if we get a warning that terrorists are planning to attack the nose!

My city has a once a year'habba'. For what it is worth it has been happening for a few years now. But I believe that terrorists have planned to have a party in the time frame and hence we have accommodated them. We have cancelled the 'Habba'. Wonder what we will cancel next, Christmas? How about New Year? We should continue with 2008 because the terrorists might attack us on New Year's Day! So we can trick them by not having 2009 at all.

Now that sounds like a plan!
