Bhagwad Gita
Think about it.... and ACT.

Did you see We the People on NDTV today? Simi Garewal made a very pertinent observation- look out from the Four seasons, and you see Paki flags fluttering in the slums.
What is the meaning of that? Immediately, a young gentleman from the crowd pounced at Simi, and said that she is the real enemy and not Pakistan and we need to initiate a peaceful dialog with our neighbor!! With enemies within our country like that young man, do we need external enemies?!

The government asked the home minister to resign, thats all they have done. This is rediculous if anybody should resign it was the Pm and Sonia gandhi as she controls him.
These administrative changes will not do anything, we need to take tough action against pakistan or every 6 months this will keep on happening. We cannot let the politicians vote based politics of appeasement to decide how we will fight terrorism.
God bless my loving Mumbai and India!

Please look at the lessons learnt from 9/11 by America. Here are some of them:
Toughened security is a requirement not an option. Initially people will be feeling strange, but the heightened security brings more security to people at the end of the day
Setting up of a federal agency like the Homeland Security Agency in America. Indian politicians should take all the help they can from foreign countries like USA, Israel and UK instead of snubbing them and telling them that we can handle our own matters. The fact is we do not have a world class security infrastructure. Especially the security of our coasts is a huge question mark. Small band-aid solutions by a stupid bureaucrat are not going to work. Hire some good security companies that have expertise in this area - why are politicians working on security on the basis of our existing knowledge and inputs from armed forces. We need to rethink the paradigm by asking companies that specialize in this sphere.
Americans set the tone after 9/11 by stating: " We will not forget 9/11"
In India unfortunately our politicians, media and our public are used to saying: "We will forget what happened right away and wear our blinders. We will not learn any lessons or make any large scale changes to our security so that this does not happen again.
Equip the people with the infrastructure to report suspicious incidents. There should be a permanent hotline where people can call and convey tips of suspicious activity. It is a mystery why that fisherman was not able to convey his concern to the appropriate authorities who would take the threat seriously. Every threat should be tackled very seriously.
Chalta-hai cannot work!!! Every citizen is responsible for protecting others around him.
Let us start social movements to make contributions to the National Defence Fund and to other welfare activities for the Armed Forces including the commando units that served us when everything else has failed. The Armed forces should be provided with the best infrastructure to deal with such situations. The armed forces should have been airlifted and dropped at the Taj, Oberoi and Nariman bhavan - not being driven to and from the airport!!!! This is insane, how our newly acquired wealth is not being spent on upgrading the infrastructure for the Armed forces.
Jai Hind!

Amit - I fully agree with you. After 9/11, security has been pushed to the top of the priority list in the United States. The same thing should have happened in India after the bomb blasts in summer 2006. Let us not sit and hope, but demand that our government places its unwavering attention on security.

The problem is that the government's constant harping on remaining peaceful and having peaceful relations with our neighbors has caused tremendous mis-communication. Indians are throughly confused with so many ideologies! We need leaders. Period!

why we are blaming our politicians for everything?
why do we have to Nuking each every country that harbors terrorism, just to resolve the issues?
Instead of building up infrastructure to tackle terrorism, why can't we take care of the problems here?
If we can make a nation with out any difference, with discrimination of cast or creed, then we can successfully pluck the roots of terrorism from anywhere.. even with in.

As well said in previous comments, what is the big picture? everyone is saying about "seein the big picture"
What is it? Even if we figure it out, why we are hesitating to act accordingly?
Is it fear of death or something worse?
- December 1, 2008 at 12:10 AM
Ashwin, get your facts right. Those are NOT Pakistani flags, those are islamic flags that look SIMILAR to Pakistani flags.
That makes all the difference.
That young man made a valid point, but he just got too carried away and so his point was lost.
Simi is nuts to ask us to go and wage war against all our neighbours. Has anyone even thought of the repercussions of such immature bullshit?
and then she says we shouldn't pay taxes. Sure, add to the mayhem.
And who's gonna fund these wars, if we even stop paying taxes? stop talking like immature teens.
America's 'war on terror' has beena total fiasco, killing thousands of innocent American and Middle Eastern lives in West Asia.
Are we to replicate the same madness?

For those who lost their lives in Mumbai
Oh! My motherland!
How ill-fated and coward is your son
The eyes of who stare inertly
From the other corner of seven seas
As you bleed
As fearless brothers half of his age
Sacrifice their lives undeterred
He is squeezed in a comforting corner
With his head fallen in shame
Mother! Have you forgiven him?
This time as well?
Why are you quiet?
And those smiling lips of yours?
Have you lost hope
That he will never return
Being a mother
You have seen the fire
That has started raging in his heart

Hi Shobha:
After watching 50+ hours of non-stop news coverage of the "so-called" Mumbai's 9/11 - I am unable to make up my mind on 2 things:
* Was this a total mis-calculation and a failed execution on the part of the terrorists?
* Are we still being mis-informed?
If the motive was to blow-up the iconic Taj & cause a 9/11 type impact by striking the nation's financial nerve center - why would the terrorists not start the operation until they were "dead sure" that they had enough explosive power to blow-up the Taj? Did somebody not know of the strength of the Victorian stone structure that the Taj is made up of?
I have only read reports of hand grenades being hurled & fires being started by the terrorists in the Taj. What were the terrorist planners smoking - if any comparison is to be made with a 9/11 type attack?
Somehow, the scale, the planning & the choice of targets indicate confusion & desperation, the real motive being hitherto unknown.
The high-impact target was the attack on the Jewish center & that immediately rallied the western world in support of India.
The firing in CST, the Taj, the Oberoi-Trident seemed like desperate attacks to cause human casualties using bullets & hand-grenades, but not the sophisticated bombs that we have seen in previous attacks.
The modus operandi seemed very tactical or guerrilla warfare like & less strategic.
It is only a matter of time, however, the following questions remain un-answered today:
* Why was the attack initiated if the terrorists were not ready to bring down the Taj?
* Where is the RDX (or a similar high-impact explosive) that had the prowess to bring down the Taj?
* What was the need to simultaneously attack a high impact target like a Jewish center?

This makes me want to pick up sticks and join the political fray. Family members have worked for change outside of politics, perhaps now that is no longer effective. We need to be in there, where legislation is made. I know honest political will and legislative action works in the long run. Much, much food for thought. Perhaps this episode of tragic mayhem will make some of us want to get our feet wet. I know my feet feel some dampness already. Or is it just nerves or rage?

- Guns and Ammunition (this is what they give)
- Sponsors of Terror (The above two wont exist without them)

Let us discuss & do a SWAT analysis and convince Shobhaa with a plan.
Then we'll ask her to decide.
Now, just show Shobhaa that there is a movement here just not talk to talk but walk to walk...
We can build a campaign branding: "Fight against Terror not like Jayanthi & Sonia's kitchen cabinet"... Lets go for it... Who else.. write here... please ask your friends to do so... we need 2499 volunteers!!!

As Vir Sanghvi writes, and I agree, we are one of the three countries where repeated terrorism reigns unchecked...Pakistan & Afghanistan are the other two countries, just in case you were wondering! Not only our so-called politicians, but each and every citizen of India (living in the country or abroad)must hang their heads in shame. Me included. Being on par with these two countries...how does that feel? It hurts, doesn't it? So much for the emerging superpower status. We have gloated enough about these things. Now is the time for some real action and actually earn & deserve this status. Let's stop looking for any leadership & guidance from our nincompoop politicians. Today its the Congress. Tomorrow it could be the BJP that's culpable. I say, why expect any shape and form of moral responsibility from people who have no morals? I appreciate that this is not the time for Gandhigiri...but still, let us all try and be the change that we want to see in our country. Let's put together a citizens initiative. Let's look at our varied security systems (or the lack of it) and work towards putting forward constructive and helpful suggestions. Let's put our money where our mouth is!
Jai Hind. Jai Mumbai.

Guys, first things first - All should go and make donations to the National Defence Fund and any other funds that help the Armed Forces. We need to salute the troops and show our appreciation. Shobha-ji, can you lead an awareness campaign to raise funds for the defence forces? Particularly organizations like NSG.
Also, these commandos should NOT be used for safeguarding politicians. Regular police should be used. Why are politicians using the best of the breed for their personal protection? Why this hypocrisy?
- December 1, 2008 at 5:34 AM
I cannot understand why some people are simply pointing fingers. No matter who our politicians are whether BJP, congress or anybody else, we would still suffer the same fate. I really think Jayanti Natrajan is an eloquent voice on various matters, so Shobha cannot be considered her rival just cause they had an argument over a news channel! As for politics, Shobha you're doing the right thing by staying the hell away from it. Its not an easy job and once in a while we should commend our politicians.

Re... you comment regarding my writing like Advani.
I think we need to clean our house first. Legislation requires that uncorrupt and pragmatic people should be in politics and be electable. If all we say is.. remove the politicos for doing nothing and have nothing to replace that political and administrative void, do you think the nation will even survive?
India has a vibrant but imperfect democracy. Give me a democracy anyday compared to the other forms of government I see around the world. You dont need to cut the tree from the roots to make the tree grow stronger. Get the right people to nuture the tree after you have removed the diseased bits. Those right people may be you and me and Kutty, Madan or Puri who live down the road. If you and me and the other three dont get involved, how is our government to get with the program? Legislation includes laws that protect you and me and laws that lay down organizational rules. Legislation makes the rules that govern most aspects of your life. How can you negate legislation when it comes to cleaning your own house? For everyone who says do this and do that... laws must be passed first. This is where people need to get involved in government and politics. Heck even for a draconian version of Patriot Act or POTA to come into being, legislation is involved.
No one can or wants to go to Pakistan to change thier rules unless we wage war and make them a subject nation. Such things dont happen quite as easily today as when Hitler rolled across Europe and made everyone a subject nation to his evil empire. Warfare is very different today! We need to fix our rules so that we can deal with a unruly or evil neighbour. This is where legislation and politics comes in.

I was of the opinion that we should stand united for terror and had a soft corner for muslims. But after last night's Big Fight on NDTV, I think we need to reconsider our nation from scratch...why do we entertain these sick people on tele shows that shout rhetorics "pakistan is not enemy?"...if there are paki flags fluttering after these incidents...why not single them out and send them back to pakistan where they will be gunned down ultimately....the sentiments of that young man represent alarge majority...i grew up in siwan where people use to hoist paki flags on paki wins against India. And we are told to be resilient and get United...how can we? how can we do that with elements like those present in society? Ignore them? well they are in millions......they are making India a weak democracy...i dont know what to say here....but i feel opinion leaders like successful muslim personalities should take charge to educate this people that in india, you are bound to be Indians. and if you like pakistan...please go back...no one is stopping you

Oh 'MATURE' Ramsey Grandpa,
When you say about a FACT that the POLITICAL party ruling in the center as well as in the State FAILED to protect the very people who elected them, YOUR eloquent voice Jayanathi's response is, become the CM and change.... What do you do, Grandpa? There your eloquent voice confessed the FAILURE and challenged...
Grandpa Ramsey, staying away is not the solution; I agree, as you said, 'it is not an easy job', that is why we need talented people... We need a voice that represents common innocent man who died helplessly for no reason; we found the voice !!!
Let us do this Grandpa Ramsey.. we need 2449 volunteers... Will do a SWOT and then, let Shobhaa decide ?

Did the NSG teams have the following equipment:
- Night vision googles
- Smoke masks and oxygen tanks
If not we need the government to answer these hard questions?
The NSG or any rapid response force needs its own airplanes, heavy lift gear. Coordinated communication systems are needed too - I sure hope no one died because of "friendly fire" in all this chaos.
Most importantly - I pray and hope that they have this captured terrorist in a super secure location - where there is NO opportunity for someone to kill him or for him to commit suicide
- December 1, 2008 at 9:48 AM
This does require India to have an integrated police and law & order system. There is technology and weaponry available to solve this. All it requires is focus and attention. Here are concrete suggestions:
-Get biometric IDs for every citizen (the stupid PAN system should be trashed)
-Indians are Indians - it is ironic to call citizens migrants - free movement needs nationwide traceability.
-Put all the criminal information into databases, police FIRs should be digitally filed, every police station should have cameras to prevent abuse
-Fix your roads and cities India - ambulances and firetrucks should be able to move freely, helicopters should be able to get to places, fire hydrants should work flawlessly, hospitals should be secure and prepared for emergencies.
-Put IP cameras at every intersection, building, theatre, hotel - they cost barely US$10 each.
-Build up your coast guard and integrate water-way and coastal security
-Every cop and NSGs should have the best weapons, night-vision equipment, bullet-proof jackets, best boots, integrated communication systems, jammers, airplanes, buses. Throw away those damn antiquated .303s
-State and Federal systems need to be coordinated and tied together. A lathi charge is so 19th century - public and private property has to be protected at all costs. How many times do we have to see burning taxis, buses, shops.....any criminal event has to be recorded, criminals should never be able to hide - anywhere in the country.
-Use DNA are means to trace identity.
-India can NOW AFFORD THIS - it is stupid to think like we are in the 1950s. Put your money to better use and get ready for the 21st century.

terrorism is riding on the back of misguided religious and spiritual interpretation and wreaking havoc..Please let us also not fall into the trap..The Gita defines ACTIOn as against mind created conditioned activity..we cannot selectively use it indiscriminately..we need action and not activity and action merges in visions beyond realms of the mind..instead of us using the mind, the conditioned mind is today using us wherever we may be..
To me, this is the root of all terror...it begins in the mind..
It is not my desire or inclination to get into spiritual debates but we should guard ourselves against the vicious trap we can fall into..becoming the very entities we so much resent..the laws of karma stipulate that we become what we hate or what we fear unconsciously.
Yes , we need to ACT, but action is very different from activity in spiritual realms.
Terrorism is a product of deep rooted positionality processes of the mind..if we carefully observe history, the contents of the mind have never changed..the mahabharat, the ramayan,the bible , the Quran and many other have episodes of brothers fighting each other, terrorizing situations for the masses, abuse of humanity and other aspects time and again...
The universe is a multi-media classroom and is repeatedly trying to show us our erroneous ways..
we always tackle symptoms and never go to the roots..
without intending to create fear, I feel people have an opportunity to rise to the challenges within themselves which are manifesting outside.
The universe is a tough, yet compassionate teacher and we can expect the lessons to continue until we learn and grow as humans...
needless to add, my shares are not in a argumentative or confontationalist mode but my life experiences in disaster management and human crises at individual and collective levels have thought me unforgettable lessons..
God bless each of you..take care...

Mumbai's Obama..
We definitely need CHANGE in mumbai at political level.
Looking at american example, we need to look for Mumbai's obama and my candidate for Mumbai 's obama is MILIND DEORA.
He might not be perfect candidate but he is the most eligible candiditate. He needs to take charge of Mumbai as CEO of mumbai.
He was the only sane voice among all the cacophony that we heard on various channels. He seemed to be doing some constructive work rather than waste his time giving useless sound bytes to various channels. Also, I did not hear him do the blame game ... his was the only voice of reason and logic .. His track record also seems to be good compared to others.
He is our OBAMA ...

U know whats more tragic than the scores of brave police and army officers who lost their lives? THe glitteratti/page3/socialites trying to associate themselves to the tragedy. Turning up in designer white clothes to light candles and give inane sound bytes, esp hilarious statements like "learn from the US on how to combat terror" to our celeb obsessed media. Do these people have the faintest idea on how the US have actually 'comabted' terror?Of course, when the blasts took place in 2006, killing 200+ mainly train commuters, not a whisper/rant was heard from them. But when the targets are the rich, and some of the fellow socialites, the whines get louder and louder. Sample this:
Koena mitra: "i joined 6 facebook groups to show my support".
Maninee De:" I was planning to throw a party at the Taj, but its ruined now…"
How very noble of these ladies to join online forums, sitting in the confines of their bedrooms,clicking away to glory. I can bet you that these f(l)akes have never ever visited a poll booth in all their lives.Neither have they done anything which could be of help to the community(simple things like community service/literacy/environmental issues). Now they've got a golden oppurtunity to make themselves heard and more sadly, will succeed since the likes of RGV were seen at the Taj yesterday, possibly for new recruits for his upcoming "hard hitting" movies. ANd of course our media, which featured the likes of Kunal Kohli and Simi Garewal, moaning the same "govt is inefficient blah blah" for a full hour in one of the chat shows.
Of course, there are a few genuinely concerned and discreet personalities from the glamour world/social circuit(Shoba de,Aamir khan,Mr Bachhan to name a few). But they are easily outnumbered by the dumb blonde oppurtunists who know fully well to be seen at the right place and the right time and most importasntly, with the right people
- December 1, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Mrs De,
I think NDTV should verify and correct what Simi Garewal said on national TV, on NDTV. Her careless allegation that there are pakistani flags flying is so UNTRUE.
The crescent and the star are just symbols used by muslims in dargah. You will find this everywhere in the dargahs all over the world irrespective of which country. Let me repeat , it's not the PAKISTANI flag.
I hope people realize this before we get into more unnecessary and unimportant arguments.

Is jagah nahi, udhar laga, waha pe TV waale hai." I was appalled. I felt ashamed. Ashamed for being a mumbaikar. And so Will i say, each one of us should be.
Yes, De, you said we should ACT. but we only REACT. preemptive action is not that we speak about.
Relisilience???? Bombay, doesnt have a choice. Bombay needs treatment, she suffers from chronic amnesia. And brags about it by projecting it as Resilience. Shame Mumbai Shame. Let us all be ashamed of this and its a blot in the history of India.
I agree with your article today on BT. we should NOT let the anger die.
I had sections of international media asking me "What is your message to all muslims".... I said " I thank the Muslims in the MIlitary and the black cat commondos who helped us kill the terrorists. " I couldnt control my anger when I told them after that blatently, donot try to make this a muslim issue.
De, We will not let them divide us.
I have started a blog "www.BombayLovesYou.blogspot.com"
which could spread the word of empathy and "athithi Devo bhavah" . WE will not tolerate anyone trying to sell goods to foreigners at 10 times its rate at colaba causeway, we will not let people take advantage of foreigners, we will not let any one rape our foreigners, if tehy feel unsafe, we will open our homes for them. If they need information we will dispense info for them. Thats what the motto is...
If someone wishes to visit mumbai, s/he could network through this blog and already have friends to fall back on before s/he comes.
And lastly, Love you for your efforts De. Your article in BT is fantastic. It echoes my sentiments and the sentiments of billion others. Thank you de. Thank you.

I agree with Simi Garewal totally. We need to attack Militants (not Pakistan) who cares if they inhabit Mumbai slums or a hill top in Karachi? The US didn't. Its time we stop pussyfooting around. Anyone anywhere that harbors forces subversive to india;s interests is candidate for vindictive action with extreme prejudice.

My dearest blogdosts and fellow Mumbaikars (even those who are not residents of Mumbai, but feel for the city), this is not the time nor space to indulge in cheap potshots . Let us leave personal attacks to wimps who don't know better and take refuge behind anonymity. Instead, let us engage in a meaningful, constructive dialogue - what can each of us do to help. Any and every suggestion welcome.

@Shobhaa De,
Thats what I'm talking about...
My Suggestion,
1. Get rid of terrorist camps
2. Well-equip Indian security force i.e. Police (atleast change thier uniform which is more than century old and dont think its comfortable for action)
3. Change leadership for better future of India.
now how to do this?
1. Unite and force goverment to take action to get rid of terrorist camps
2. Force goerment to make necessory amendments in budget to fulfill the requirments of Polic Dept.
we can collect/donate money any uy equipment for Police Dept.
3. One of Us need to stand in next election!!

well i think its high time people stop pointing fingers at each other.when we say its time that someone really lead us to a better India,it doesn't actually make any sense to me.i believe we have a better and supreme power within ourselves as we are a part of the better power,we are leaders within ourselves.and as shobha ji was reminding us about bhagavat gita..the lord himself have guided us always....is there a better leader than him?its just that we always tend to misinterpret our sacred texts.be it khuran,bible or the bhagavat gita.its always good to revive our selves before reviving others.i think this way of thinking will gradually make the idea of terrorism extinct.and about the politicians..there are so many things which a even a simple man can do which makes him a leader.
i think its time people know what exactly is happening in our country,especially politics.and remember even the game of politics is not one sided,so why cant we the people play with it??aiming at those power thirsty politicians..remember we are the power we gave them the power so we have the power to take them off..arise awake my countrymen...if the government is not able to give us security then the stones and sticks,sickle and knife..don't we have plenty of them???

I agree with Roshni Sen, down with cunning congress who have done nothing but given us misery for the last 60 years.
Enough is enough, we want true leaders not the congress chamchas who are running the country like its their personal family.

While the heart bleeds for my beloved Mumbapuri the hard core Mumbai Brahmin in me is mortified at another thought - a dark black thought of a powerful uncouth lobby from the North working overtime toward creating a New Bombay; one that is separate from the rest of Maharashtra and is essentially, administered from Delhi. The events of Black Wednesday and its thereafters have given them good reason too.
- December 1, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Only in India we have this family based politics. Tell me what is the qualification of Sonia Gandhi, rahil gandhi and priyankha.....just that they are from the gandhi family.
All others have to work hard and come up and these people just misues their money and use the congress chamchas.
We need real leaders like Obama.......infact right now even Modi looks good...atleast he is tough.

We live in times where there is, constant and ongoing, advanced intelligence and security information. Israel has MOSSAD as it's intelligence arm which is aware of the movements of Al-Qaeda and it's accomplices, supporters as does the USA intelligence service, without whose knowledge these bombers of Mumbai terrorist could not have, moved, operated and entered India or it's shores.
Thus it could be concluded that, both USA and Israel wanted and allowed these bombings, deaths to happen. Why, would be the logical response? The answer can only be to gain more support both worldwide and within India and Pakistan and or to cause confrontation, divisions between the two nations, India and Pakistan.
The USA intelligence service see the recent change to the new incumbent president of Obama as a threat. The tremendous economic USA problems would have reduced not only the budget of the USA intelligence service but also it's staffing levels and it's operational abilities worldwide as well as the reduction in financial support that Israel would require and need to continue it's perceived threat to it's country and it's own people. Thus it was in the best interest for both Israel and intelligence arm of the USA to either assist, or allow these bombers to continue its mission and objectives, in India. For many years, USA have had intelligence and staff based in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Therefore USA intelligence would have been aware of the Mumbai bombers or used, paid people in Pakistan to look the other way. This is validated by the fact that these bombers came into India via small boats. The nearest country was Pakistan. Had they come via any other country, then the small boats which the bombers used would have needed fuel and bigger boats which would have attracted attention and their discovery, earlier. The USA had surveillance planes, boats, aircraft carriers within the area, within the Indian ocean, off Iraq and flying over Afghanistan and Pakistan, which further supports the argument of USA collusion.
China was too powerful and too protected for Israel and USA intelligence to encourage this kind of terrorist activity to occur thus, the next most wealthiest country available was India, where they knew that security was lax and where Security was lacking in investment and training.
Who has most to gain by the Mumbai bombings? The outgoing president of USA, Mr. Bush and Israel, USA intelligence service and staff and of course, Wall Street (USA). It was in the interest of USA and Israel for India to have it's own equivalent of 9/11.

The Pak video of Defence Analyst who makes statement like
-->Makes statment on Window of Karkare, didn't accept money from Modi b'cos he was killed by Hindu fundamentalist of Modi(shows a clip of red band on Terror man).
It's only a barbarous beast which talks about hurting already hurt people.
-->Goes on talking about all ministers and say that not ISI chief but a doctor to treat Singh.
A defence analyst of Pak Gov can talk such nuisance. Indian Media has the extra advantage to drag Pak to roads the way they wanted. As Americans say- If you can't make it fake it.
-->Pak has to get ready and give a mooh tood jawab to India.
If this is what he is asking, let's give it them

A 60-year-old Grafton woman who died in a two-car accident Saturday night at Route 20 and Grafton Street is remembered by her daughter as "a very loving, caring and affectionate person" and a "great mother."
Elaine D. Barber of 25 Snow Road, North Grafton, was pronounced dead at UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus, Worcester, as a result of her injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, Steven Cabral, 25, of Hudson, was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. The two-car accident was reported about 8:30 p.m.
Mrs. Barber leaves her husband of 26 years, Charles Barber; a son, Daniel Barber, who lives in Buzzards Bay, and a daughter, Denise Barber, who lives with her parents. Mrs. Barber is originally from St. John's, New Brunswick, and had lived in the United States since she was 7 years old, and in Grafton since 1984. She graduated from Framingham South High School.
"She's from Canada. Originally, they had a huge family with all the cousins, uncles and aunts getting together," Miss Barber said of her mother. Then, pretty much over the years, it was just her left. Her parents and her brother all passed away."
Mrs. Barber was a hairdresser who worked out of her home, as well as a sales associate at Walmart in West Boylston. According to her daughter, Mrs. Barber had just finished her shift at Walmart and was driving home at the time of the accident. The last time the mother and daughter spoke to each other was Saturday morning, Miss Barber said.
"We were waiting for her to come home," Miss Barber said. "And then she was going to eat and go to bed, so she could get up early for her shift the next day."
Miss Barber said her mother loved skiing and bicycling, was fascinated by genealogy and loved researching her family tree, loved her pets, and was "big into politics" and not too pleased with the outcome of the recent presidential election, her daughter said.
"She had her opinion about everything that had to do with politics," Miss Barber said.
In addition, Mrs. Barber was a big country music fan whose favorite artist was Willie Nelson. She was also a self-taught guitarist and violinist.
"Every day she played the violin and the guitar," Miss Barber said. "She has been playing the guitar since she was younger. She just started playing the violin a few years ago, teaching herself."
Miss Barber said it's especially difficult to lose her mother so suddenly and so close to the holiday season.
"She was into Christmas," Miss Barber said. "She already had presents wrapped under the Christmas tree."
Miss Barber said she's going to miss having her mother around and seeing her every day.
"She was a great mother," Miss Barber said.
Shrewsbury police determined that Mr. Cabral was driving a 2004 Audi A-4 east on Route 20 when it collided with the 2007 Honda Civic driven by Mrs. Barber going north on Grafton Street and crossing Route 20.
Shrewsbury police and firefighters and UMass Memorial Medical Center paramedics responded. Traffic was detoured for approximately three hours. The accident is under investigation by Central Mass. Law Enforcement Council crash reconstruction unit and Shrewsbury Officers Ryan Chartrand and Daniel Cronin.
Roney Funeral Homes, 152 Worcester St., North Grafton, is directing Mrs. Barber's funeral arrangements.

But it got me thinking. Is his laziness hereditary? Did I pass on procrastination genes to him? Nah, I'm sure I wasn't that bad in high school. I mean, I remember my mom complaining daily about "my attitude problem". I know I heard the phrases, "if only you'd apply yourself", and "if only you'd work up to your potential" on an hourly basis. But I couldn't have been that bad in high school.
So, I searched through my box of papers, stories, art projects and such from when I was in school. I expected to find some evidence of my lack of enthusiasm for academia when I got to my high school report cards, but I was fully unprepared to see such negative reports starting in kindergarten! Kindergarten, for crying out loud!
This first one is really faded so I'll translate for you. It says, "Dawn has been having some difficulty in her peer relationships as she tends to want to lead and make all the decisions."
In my defense, it's not my fault everyone else was stupid and wrong. Someone had to lead that group of five-year-olds in the right direction! Sheesh! Clearly she was just jealous of my highly coveted leadership skills.
Now, let's move on to second grade, shall we?
"Dawn needs to cooperate with others without resenting the correction."
I would've had no problems cooperating if they'd just done things my way, which was the right way, of course. It seems obvious to me that everyone else had the problem.
Moving on to third grade.
"Socializing continues to take up too much of Dawn's time which could be put to better use."
Better use is really an objective term, don't you think? My teacher may have thought that memorizing my times tables was a better use of my time. I say, "That's what calculators are for." All that talking and story telling was really just research and practice for this blog.
"Dawn needs to continue to work on improving her work habits. Alot less socializing would give her the time needed to complete her work."
Yeah, yeah, again with the socializing. I'm telling ya, it was research! And my teacher really had no room to talk here since she thought "alot" is a word.
Now, let's see how I did in fourth grade. Surely, there has to be a good report somewhere in here!
"Dawn has made a lot of friends this years and has gained much more self-confidence. She has shown good progress in fourth grade. I have especially enjoyed her very creative stories. She needs to work on the above checked areas next year. Have a fun summer!"
Finally! A teacher with the good sense to enjoy my "very creative stories"! Why'd she have to go and ruin it by checking assumes responsibility, observes school rules, listens attentively, works steadily at a task, and finishes assignments? I know! I bet she didn't want to make the other students jealous with her love of my stupendous creative writing so she had to make up something negative to balance it out. Yeah, that's gotta be it!
Let's see how I did in fifth grade.
"Dawn is working hard this year. Occasionally, she is not prepared for class, and she may snap at her classmates, but we have discussed both of these topics and I am hopeful that these incidents will occur less frequently as time progresses."
Yeah, well, I'll tell you why I snapped at my classmates! Because they were stupid and annoying! It's hard putting up with such idiocy. How can I be expected to learn when the people sitting around me are saying their buttered popcorn scratch 'n' sniff stickers are better than my puppy puffy stickers? How can I concentrate when the girls at my table are flipping their beaded ribbon barrettes around and making irritating noise? How can I even see the board when the boy sitting in front of me is blinding me with his Mork striped suspenders? Yeah, that's what I thought! Case dismissed.
"Congratulations to Dawn and the Damalas family on her selection to continue in the Young Author's Contest. That's great!"
Oh yeah! In your face! I rock! I was selected to go on in a contest I don't even remember. But I'm sure it was the highest honor! In fact, it was such a high honor, my teacher couldn't even bring herself to find anything bad to say about me. My awesome writing prevailed! Finally!
"Dawn, I will always remember your contributions to our reading discussions. You always seemed to have the answer I had in mind! Carry that talent with you into 6th grade and you'll do a great job! Carry a smile too!"
Yes! Two good reports in a row! Finally, a teacher who appreciates my brilliance and understands that geniuses such as I, sometimes need to put the stupid people in their place. What? No, I am not reading between the lines! That's what it says!
After those glowing reports, things must go well for me in sixth grade! Let's see.
"Again, Dawn has produced basically good work this grading period. A greater emphasis on listening attentively to the teacher and organizing time wisely would result in even better grades."
Clearly, she had spoken to my mother before writing that comment. Just never satisfied. Always wanting me to do better. What happened to those glory days of fifth grade? "Basically good work" Humph!
"I can repeat what I've stated before. If Dawn listens carefully and follows directions, she does a good job academically. (She also avoids some of the "0"s she receives when she doesn't!) She has the basic skills and ability to achieve in junior high. It's up to her!"
It was up to me. All up to me. And I remember which path I chose. I decided to stop reading my old report cards at this point because I'm pretty sure it all went downhill from there. And now you know all about me. I'm a bossy, talkative person who likes to lead and make all the decisions. I don't use my time wisely and sometimes I don't complete assignments at all. I can tell a pretty creative story, but in the end, I guess I'm a pain the butt. Thanks to everyone for putting up with me anyway!

Frazier First Husker Hall-of-Fame Quarterback
Randy York's N-Sider
Nebraska football's version of lightening was so frighteningly great it angered Big Red's worldwide fan base when he had to wait to get into the College Football Hall of Fame. But Husker fans can breathe easy now. The National Football Foundation announced Tuesday that Tommie Frazier will be enshrined in its 2013 induction class that includes 14 players and coaches. Yes, lightening finally lands in the Hall of Fame, so forget about the storm clouds that delayed that landing and congratulate Tommie, the first Nebraska quarterback ever to receive college football's highest individual honor.
Frazier joins 15 legendary Husker players and six fabled Nebraska coaches in the College Football Hall of Fame. Even those who might disagree with the process cannot argue with the result. Like all groups operating at the highest level, the College Football Foundation has to balance more political ramifications than a national convention, and it was only a matter of time before Tommie Frazier reached the same end zone as Mike Rozier, Johnny Rodgers and Bobby Reynolds. If I close my eyes, I can almost hear Kent Pavelka enunciating a signature call: "Touchdown, Tommie Frazier!" Tommie was the MVP of Nebraska's 1994 and 1995 national championship teams that beat Miami in the Orange Bowl and then smoked Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. If the '93 Huskers had not missed a last-second field goal, Nebraska would have beaten Florida State, 19-18, in the Orange Bowl and then Tommie most likely would have been the MVP of three consecutive national championship games. Despite that heart-breaker as a sophomore, Frazier arguably outperformed 1993 Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward in the national championship game. Frazier's legacy line includes a career 33-3 record as a starter, two national titles and that one near miss that still managed to elevate him on the national stage.
Frazier Praises the Offensive Talent around Him
"This is quite an honor," Frazier said. "You never play the game and think you're going to be in the Hall of Fame one day. You just go out and try to be the best you can be and whatever happens, happens. I was fortunate that good things happened, but it certainly was not me alone. I had great teammates and coaches that played a big part in this honor. I was surrounded by great players at every position, and many of those guys had great careers themselves. I did have the role of being a coach on the field, but the guys around me made it that much easier. With the supporting cast we had on offense, many times regardless of whether I had us in the right play or wrong play, they made it work."
Some writers have wondered why Tommie was never a captain, and if that had something to do with his delayed national recognition. Mike Babcock, Nebraska's most notable football historian, sees that issue through a different lens. "Tommie was such a confident guy, he could often be misunderstood," Babcock told me. "I think he thought he should be the starter from the beginning. Sometimes, something like that rubs some people the wrong way." Tom Osborne, who was inducted into the same Hall of Fame in 1998, said Frazier "was better prepared to start as a freshman than any quarterback we had. That's not easy to do, but he was unusually mature and competitive. He had played at a high level in front of big crowds in high school, so going out and playing in a major college game was not intimidating to him."
Touchdown Tommie Relishes Role as Family Man
From a personal standpoint, I've enjoyed watching the continuous growth that Frazier has shown over the years and the way he never allowed himself to get caught up in the disappointment of his faithful followers. When you're recruited by Kevin Steele and coached by Tom Osborne at Nebraska, you tend to pick up some of their best traits as you mature, and Tommie has done just that as a professional, a husband and a father.
Osborne called Frazier an outstanding competitor. "He did everything he could to win and was a good leader by example," Osborne said. "He expected a lot out of himself and the people around him. He was an outstanding leader and catalyst and made everyone around him better. Tommie managed the game very well, and was a natural option quarterback. He had a good sense of timing, when to pitch, when not to pitch. He had excellent balance, good speed and was very strong." Frazier is thrilled to join Osborne in the Hall of Fame. "There aren't many players that can say that," he said. "Coach Osborne took a big chance on me as a freshman in 1992. He saw something in me to give me the keys to the car, and for him to trust me with our offense meant a lot to me."
Gill Deserves to Be Huskers' First Hall-of-Fame QB
Frazier mentioned the great Nebraska quarterbacks that played before him – Jerry Tagge, Dave Humm, Vince Ferragamo, Turner Gill and Steve Taylor. "For me to be the first of that group is quite an honor," Frazier said before adding a punch line: "Turner Gill is more deserving than me to be the first Nebraska quarterback in the Hall of Fame because he taught me everything I know. Eric Crouch (the 2001 Heisman Trophy winner) is also very deserving of the honor and hopefully his time will come soon."
Even though Frazier was gracious when the Hall of Fame bypassed his selection, he appreciated the passion of Nebraska's fans. "The support of the fans in Nebraska has been constant," he said. "The past two years when I didn't get selected I wasn't worried because you can only control what you can control. I appreciated all the fan support I received though. That means a lot because I wasn't out there to play for myself. I played for the fans, my family, my coaches and my teammates." Frazier was voted the quarterback on Nebraska's All-Century Team and was named one of the 10 greatest college football players by Sport Magazine in 1999. Navy's Roger Staubach and TCU's Sammy Baugh were the other two quarterbacks on that elite10-player team. Frazier's No. 15 jersey was retired in the fall of 1996, and Touchdown Tommie was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame the year after finishing his amazing collegiate career. Unfortunately, continued problems with blood clots became the ultimate NFL roadblock for one of the college game's most accomplished performers of all time.
Crouch, Alberts, Gill Climb on NU Fans' Priority Chart
For nearly two decades, Frazier has been called the greatest college football player never to win a Heisman Trophy (He finished second in 1995 voting behind Eddie George). According to emails I receive, that vote was a major factor in Nebraska's collective protest of Tommie needing three ballots to become a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. You have to wonder. With that issue now solved, will Husker fans take on the cause of Eric Crouch and Trev Alberts? And what about Turner Gill? If Tommie was Nebraska's lightening, he just made Turner Gill Husker thunder. Whatever does or does not happen behind closed doors, rememer this: Patience is a virtue.
That is one of the many lessons Frazier learned from Gill, who was his quarterback coach throughout his career at Nebraska. "Tommie was the ultimate competitor, leader and champion that I have ever coached," Gill said. "He demonstrated this from the first day at practice through the last football snap that he ever took at Nebraska."

MANCHESTER - This would never happen but imagine St. Anselm College men's basketball coach Keith Dickson walking into Stan Spirou's office, sitting in the leather chair and propping his feet up on the desk.
After all, the Hawks (23-5) are hosting the NCAA Division II East Regional at Southern New Hampshire University, home of the rival Penmen, after winning the regular-season Northeast-10 Conference championship. Spirou's Penmen (19-10) reached the Big Dance by winning the NE-10 Conference tournament, defeating Franklin Pierce University (21-8) in the championship at Rindge last Saturday. FPU is here, too.
Brackets have been posted on the wall outside of the SNHU Fieldhouse. The tourney begins today at noon as SNHU takes on Assumption (20-8). St. Anselm plays the University of Bridgeport (21-9) in the next game at 2:30 p.m. Franklin Pierce plays Bloomfield (17-12) at 6 p.m., followed by Dominican College (22-6) against New Haven (19-8) at 8:30 p.m.
"We've had a terrific season. We have a wonderful team. It looks like the tournament is wide open," said Dickson, whose program has reached the NCAA Tournament for the 17th time. "We have a fairly inexperienced group that is trying to pull this off, but I feel confident that we'll give it a pretty good shot."
The Hawks haven't played since losing to Franklin Pierce in the NE-10 semifinals on March 6 at Stoutenburgh Gym in Goffstown. St. A's gym, built in 1960, seats 1,200 fans but does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prevents the NCAA from holding a regional event at the Hawks' Nest.
"Certainly, when you have the kind of year that we had, you'd like to be playing in your own gym," Dickson said. "Having it over here, whether Southern New Hampshire was in it or not, is good for the city. It's not our home court, but it's our home city. We're looking forward to it. It's always a goal to be here. I think playing in (the NCAA tourney) is what every kid strives for."
The Hawks are a dangerous bunch. They've won 18 of their last 21 games, climbing to a No. 11 ranking in the Division II national poll. Sophomore guard Roy Mabrey leads the team in scoring at 17.5 ppg, followed by freshman forward Mike McCahey (16.6 ppg) and sophomore forward Chris Santo (14.2 ppg). Santo, who played for the University of Vermont as a freshman, has elevated his game down the stretch, averaging 17.4 points and 6.7 rebounds through the past 11 games. St. Anselm senior Quinn Woodhouse is the lone member of the team with NCAA Tournament experience. The Hawks, however, typically play like a veteran club. They're 20-0 when leading at halftime.
"Any team here can get hot and win the region," Dickson said. "I think you need to be in the right frame of mind and mentally ready. My experience tells me that you can't be tight and nervous and hesitant."
Regional semifinals will be held Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. The championship is Tuesday at 7 p.m. One of the eight teams will cut down the nets at SNHU and head to Louisville, Ky., for the Elite Eight beginning March 28.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth (ages 5-17), students and seniors each day of the tournament. An all-session tournament pass for the three days is $20 for adults and $10 for youth, students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door. The ticket office opens 90 minutes prior to the start of each day's first game.

If you don't know what Safety Tats are, you should! They're skin-safe temporary tattoos that are applied to your child's arm. You personalize them with your cell phone number and if your little ones are ever separated from you, you're just a phone call away. What peace of mind!
I use these on my little kids whenever we're out in crowded places. I had them on the youngest 3 kids the entire time we were in St. Louis a couple weeks ago - the arch, the museums, the zoo.
Imagine a night where your children roam in the dark, knock on strangers' doors, and wear clothes that disguise their identity, among dozens of other children. And suddenly, you've misplaced them because all of the children look the same. Sound like a nightmare? No, in fact, it's just Halloween. This likely scenario is rarely considered because parents are too busy feeding their child a healthy dinner and filling up candy bowls. With kids in costume, it is all too common to lose a child. But finally, parents have their own Halloween treat—temporary safety tattoos for their children that offer special Halloween-themed designs. Place your Halloween SafetyTat Child ID Tattoo order by October 22nd to receive them before Halloween. After the 22nd, you have until October 27th to order your tattoos with EXPRESS Mail shipping to safely arrive in time. Happy Haunting!
And just for my readers, you can receive 10% off your order when you use coupon code M2M6P09 between now and October 31! Not only that, but leave me a comment here for a chance to win one of four 15-packs of Safety Tats! Want more chances to win? Become a fan of Safety Tats on Facebook HERE for another entry into the drawing! I'll choose 4 random winners on Friday. Good luck!
