I write this post as the tragedy of serial blasts in Mumbai unfolds.
Yet another act of terrorism. Numerous dead.
I am not going to do an analysis of the incident...
As a person most of whose relatives are in Mumbai, I know how worried people all around the country are right now for their dear ones in Mumbai. In fact, my uncle traveled on the ill fated 0644 Slow Local to Borivali but alighted at Dadar and was lucky to get out of this unscratched.
I reiterate. No analysis. No blame game.
At this moment my heart is with those who lost their loved ones in this tragedy. I hope they gather the strength to endure this pain.
Signing off.
Update:
Take a look at the comments section here. So much hate. Most of them are expats too.It truly is depressing.
Updated Again:
Here is a very commendable piece of work done by a bunch of bloggers. The right kind of reaction to such a situation.

Amazing, how both the above updates are reactions to the same event and yet absolutely different from one another.

Ah - i was more pained by the message India Times had posted. Look how cheap they are, trying to make money out of such a bad situation. I was as such disappointed by the air time the news channels were giving to dead bodies. This is just so cheap.
All that hate - i somehow get the feeling that in many parts of india, this hatred is present very much. Looks like we have to give credit to the respective leaders. Pretty bad i agree. Feeling so glad that i was born in this part of the country - no one hates me and i dont hate anyone as well :)
I shud agree that i was deeply moved by that blog. Quite a commendable gesture. Unlucky that we're so far away here.
Truly a tragedy for common people.
Yeah the blame game has started and way the media across the world is putting their own agenda is sad.
May God be with helpless people of Mumbai.
@Iday -
Unlucky that we're so far away here.
Ironic that we feel unlucky about being away from danger eh?
@GreenSatya - Amen to that!
//Ironic that we feel unlucky about being away from danger eh?
