I am writing after a long time, more than two months after i posted last. I have been looking to find something to write on but didn't get the motivation for it. Today something happened which shook me out of this slumber. In some ways it reminded one of the infamous Munich Olympics. Yes it was an attack on sportsmen, cricketers to be precise.
The Sri-Lankan cricket team was touring Pakistan as a replacement for India who had declined to tour there. Today morning when the Sri-Lankan team was going to the Gaddafi Stadium for the third day's play of the second test of the series, their team bus was attacked by armed terrorists. This led to many of them getting injured as well. This is shocking to say the least!!
The world is increasingly becoming a very unsafe place, and Pakistan would rank the highest among all unsafe locations. For now, I am just thankful that none of the players are grievously hurt, can't think much more to write.

What do you mean by sportsperson? Are they not humans? If they are, then they can also be the targets. How can they be immune when innocent civilians are getting hurt daily.
This was waiting to happen. Yes, everyone is glad that no cricketer is critically injured. But ever spared a thought about those security personnel? Is their life less valuable?
Irony is the world will take notice only when it happens to a sportsperson.
Sportsperson or not, terrorism has to stop. This is not the way civil society functions.
