I am devastated. I am not a Mumbaikar, not in the true sense of the word. I have lived and worked there only after my marriage, so it would be apt to call it my sasural! But I love the city, I love the efficiency of the people, the systems, the public transport. I love the way the city embraces all yet leaves you to be yourself, giving you the freedom yet drawing you into all its activities. It is a city you can’t help but love.
And I am shocked into inaction...
Wwhy target the wonderful spirit of this beautiful city (or any city for that matter) and the innocent people? Why?
I salute all the officers, from all over the country,( and not just the Marathi’s) who have laid down their lives fighting the terrorists, heroically. My deepest sympathies to all those who suffered, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, rich and poor, and I hope this will not have any major repercussions resulting in more lives being lost over causes long forgotten. I hope Mumbai rises above all this…stronger, resilient, secular and of course secure.

Why is a question we all ask - repeatedly? And because there are no answers, we go on with what we do best - the business of living.....
So rightly described and hence the famous Mumbiakar resilience!
Dejection was the sole emotion that had engulfed me when the Mumbai crisis happened. But knowing that the terrorists had actually come to kill 5000 people and it was the sheer grit and dedication of our relentless commandos which shelved their ultimate plans, I've my positive hopes resurrected.Our nation's future is not bleak after all.
Yes life goes on....and hopefully the Govt will be a bit more vigilant from now on so that disasters like these can be averted, infact nipped in the bud itself.
Good Post!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Deepthi, that is food for thought...but hopefully this will now make us more vigilant in terms of border security. And Reflections, I have to still paste that award, I couldn't paste the beautiful flower...
