Arrrrrrr.......--------------The Pirates are Here

We have all seen them in movies, heard about them in stories and read about them in books. I for one didn’t expect them to exist in this century.
The recent attack on ships by pirates in the gulf of Eden surprises me. In an age where Indians are launching satellites and landing on moons, in an age where technology has always made it a point to redefine itself in more ways than one, in an age where nothing is impossible (Adidas:P) I least expected some shitty pirates with lousy weapons to scare nations more powerful and technologically more equipped to feel the heat.
It just shows us that there are gaping loopholes in the things we take for granted. We always thought nothing could happen in the seas where we have navy ships from all over the world patrolling their territories. Well something must be wrong cause there have already been many hijackings in the same area. For the first time India has stepped up and actually surprised me by acting fast and tackling this problem, are the other countries sleeping? or are they waiting for something worse to happen.
Recently when one of the ships carrying some Indian crew was hijacked , a ransom was paid to the tune of a few millions(really cheap!), apparently that’s what the press releases stated, that the amount was undisclosed , this raises a few questions in my already full head, what is going to be done with all that ransom money, will it be used to fund more activities of hijacking in the seas ,and maybe even move the business into foreign waters ,where they can hijack more ships and get more money?
The other serious question that comes to my head is what if this is just the tip of the iceberg, what if this money is used to organize terrorist activities in various countries all over the world?
The irony of this situation is we are paying for them to do all this shit. I guess we just take a lot of things for granted, now that the Indian navy is pulling off heroic rescues and blasting the pirate ships out of the ocean, I won’t be surprised if India receives threats from the Somalians soon. Not that we have enough problems on our hands already.
The problem with this world is people don’t react unless something pricks them hard enough for them to notice that there is a problem.
looking at the present scenario ,i guess we all have really thick skins.
