A Commoner's Thoughts On Bomb blasts
This post aims to capture the mental images /thoughts/actions that transpire when a commoner like myself learns about bomb blasts like the ones that occurred in Delhi recently and Mumbai sometime ago
Time-line:-
*As Soon as One comes to know about the news
==>Oh My God(Thought)
*After about half a second
==>Search for the relevant news on TV or Internet(Action)
*After about 20 seconds to 1 minute
==>Busy learning/reading/hearing(TV News) about the attack,where it occurred(Passive Action)
==>Some times lets out low shrieks (involuntary Action)
*After about 1 minute to 5 minutes
==>Begins to process the news (Thought)
*After about 6 minutes to 15 minutes
==>Talk about in detail with family or friends{awful,shouldn't spare the perpetrators,feel bad for the victims,blah...}(Action)
==>Feels relieved that he or she or his/her family or friends were nowhere near the blast site(Thought)
*After about 20 minutes
==> Thinks about the task one was doing before hearing the news(Thought)
*After about 25 minutes
==>Feels bad that the police forces,National Investigation Agency (NIA), RAW , CBI , Army Intelligence , and other myriad unknown security forces [damn they are too many of them !!!] had failed to prevent various attacks in the past as well the latest ones.(Thought)
==>Wonders as to how many such attacks have been happening recently (Thought)
==>Feels that tax payer's money is going down the drain(Thought)
*After about 30 minutes
==>Feels tired after all the thinking ,talking, browsing internet(Thought)
==>Gets a coffee (Action)
*After about 1 day when the investigative findings start pouring in
==>Takes special interest in the news daily that is often lies about abandoned on the floor of the living room for most of the week (Action)
==>Feels that there is some progress in the investigation and guilty must be punished after readings about the front page of the daily(Thought)
==>Feels that adequate security is needed where people congregate {there are too many damn places like that in his/her own city},almost impossible to provide adequate security at each of the locations.(Thought)
==>Feel that the busy localities in the country should be covered by security cameras(Thought)
*After about 6 months to 12 months when the next bomb blast occurs

Beware of Fake "Facebook Mails","Friend Request"
Beware Folks :- Today I received a fake "Facebook Mail"/"Friend Request" notification.Your presence on Facebook is being leaked and even your email id you provided on Facebook is not safe.Facebook should look into the leakage of email ids to third party without express consent from Facebook users.The application which sent this mail was smart enough to know the email id I use to login into Facebook and mail me a fake friend request
How To Detect fake
There is a easy way to recognise these mails.First take a look at the "From" ,"Reply-To" and "To" addresses in the email header.In my case it claims to originate from "facebookmail" domain and reply to is "LinkedIn" and it is not addressed to my id but some fictional/fake email id. If you want to confirm that it is definitely not an invite then go and login into Facebook and check
for invite notification.Never click links in such fake mails.This will compromise your system.
