LetsDiscuss: Doomsday Conspiracy

They came, they shot indiscriminately, and they held a city under seige. Their nightmarish fire-play dazed and baffled people across the globe for over 60 hours, and even after it all ended the questions and the intensity of the impact continues to flabbergast and traumatize us. The political blame-game started almost immediately after the crisis passed - from intelligence failure, to delayed deployment of NSG forces, to obsolote equipment or the total lack of it, to rumors and anger, to interpretation and misinterpretation of facts, to funerals and condolenses and finally to diplomatic and political moves - we saw it all and shuddered at the very sight of it.

It is on visiting places like Orccha that you come to relate with your actual self and find answers to the questions - that are you a lover of solitude or are you painfully lonesome....
