New way to understand English alphabets!

Its been over 10 days now since it all started....while going through a learning book on alphabets the other day I realised how it has changed over the years. Today after the terror strike, I found another version courtesy Mid Day. And thanks to the 'brilliant' media coverage kids have already picked up most of it....

A to Z of the gruesome attacks
A: AK-47s. Pumped bullets into the heart of Mumbai

B: Bulletproof? A disgusted city has lampooned them as bullet ghoos jackets
C: Commandos. The new heroes
D: Death. It was everywhere that Wednesday, November 26 night
E: Elite. Cynics have scoffed at the affluent. But does it mean that people who wear Versace do not feel pain?
F: F*^% off. Politicians have been told to go and do something biologically impossible with the ballot box
G: Go. The word finally caught up with Maharashtra CM
H: Hypocrisy. Banners all over the city by political parties paying homage to heroes are a classic example
I: Intelligence. Was this the failure that led to attacks?
J: Jews. The Chabad house victims were pawns on the Israel vs Palestine chessboard
K: Karkare. ATS chief lives on in spirit
L: Leopold. The café at Colaba, more known for its beer than bullets
M: Martyrs. A word that Mumbai read most often in the past week
N: Neighbour. Abuse rains on Pakistan thicker than a snowstorm
O: Oberoi. PRS 'Biki' Oberoi promises every bullet mark will be wiped off and the hotel will open again. Mumbai is waiting Mr Oberoi
P: Politicians. Reviled, ridiculed and ranted at, the thick-skinned leaders are waiting for the storm to pass. But will it?
Q: Quiet. Even the noisy, teeming streets seem eerily silent as tragedy casts its pall over a vibrant city
R: Raj Thackeray. Where is Mumbai's saviour?
S: Vijay Salaskar. The encounter specialist would have no doubt, made every bullet count if he had a choice
T: Terrorists. The international cancer from a country described as an international migraine?
U: Unwilling. Did the government not know or was it unwilling to act? Meaningless for a person who has lost his family
V: Venom. The poison in the terrorist's system. Now, nine of them are hiss-tory
W: War. Is that an option?
X: X'mas, the season of joy, will be an incredibly sad one for the city
Y: Yet. Cynics believe it will be only talk yet again, no action in the wake of terror
Z: Z class security. Throw it out for politicians
