Its not just “a building” … its what it represents ….. the spirit of the people .. a Mumbai local is not just a local .. it shows the helping spirit of the people, everyday you can see people helping each other climb onto locals from tracks and also people carrying away the unfortunate ones who sometimes come under the same locals… people definitely will be missed more … But a writer can't afford to be caught up in empathizing with one particular person .. when he captures the spirit … he captures it all and connects more …

I enjoyed reading your post. It's very true and though it happens in unexpected time. My uncle had experience that it's very miserable.

I’m glad you came out before it all started……I cried over the newspaper the next day, why do the poor lay have to suffer?

I hope this country men never forget what happened!

Wow!

Beautifully written as always. But this post serves as a time capsulem where we got a glimpse into that Taj on that fate night, just hours before the terrorists attacked!
We’re all glad you’re okay..and though I’m not a Mumbai-kar, my heart is with all the victims!

i cannot understand WHY the TAJ is so missed but the people who lost their lives barely get a mention on this post?. Im indian and i could care less if a bldg fell. That can be rebuilt. who cares if its not the same as it was before. Those people who died can never be brought back!

so many question we ask when terrorists attack any place in the world…when, who,how..etc …but we forget the most important question we have to ask ‘why’ .why der is so much hatred in them..why r the certains group of people so angry wid others….definitely der sud be a reason….peoples like u and me wont go about firing abt at peoples …peoples are not born wid ak47 in their hands for gods sake…how much can we make ourselves secure ..a small loop hole in the security and they can strike again..they even managed to strike a country like USA…if we can find the ans for the question ‘why’ may b a soln can be found…as Gandhiji said…kill the bad in the person not the bad person..

First of all , am very glad that you could come out alive. It’s just too much of a shock to react on something like this. But if you just step back and look at the problem as a whole, we should realize that we are not fighting against certain terrorist groups/countries. We are fighting against a idea, a very bad idea if I may suggest. In remote places in Pakistan, hell why Pakistan, even in India ( places like Hyd ) etc , you wind this wayward youth who are allured to the religious lunacy, and anyone fighting with an idea should return in the same way.

But whether we are capable of fighting a war with a different dimension with these leaders is what needs to be seen.

A few years ago, I had booked my travel from Washington DC Dulles Airport to Chennai on Sep 11, 2001. I had vacated my house, sold my car and waited for my friend to pick me up and drop me at the airport. Later, I realized the bastards had fired missiles out of planes. And all flights would stand cancelled for a week.

But nothing can compared to the bastards attacking Mumbai. It was as if war had broken in our own country. My feelings go to all Mumbaites who are affected by the incident.
