Yesterday, like most other media people, our phone was flooded by calls from news channels requesting that we go on air with our take on the spine-chilling Sheena Bora murder.

To all we said the same thing. Sensational news like this demands considered response. The only response we have now is of an unspeakable sadness beyond words. Sadness for that girl, for the pain and hurt we are capable of bestowing on each other, and for us as a society that lives amidst such naked brutality.
