As I left for work today morning at 6.30 AM (now don't ask what I do), I saw police everywhere.
With the terror threat that we are under, I would say that the security was unprecedented. After every kilometer or so, there were police check posts. They stopped all cars, checked inside the car as well as the baggage, asked a few questions and then let the people go. For the ten kilometers or so which I travelled, I had never seen so many police personnel on the route.
It just got me thinking that even if we are free from colonial rule, we are living in the shadow of terrorism. Which brings me to the question - Is freedom ever absolute?
