Before I write anything, I want to pay homage to al those who lost their lives in the Terror attacks in my city….may their souls rest in Peace… My only wish is that their death is avenged…And that this should never be repeated in the history of this country. In fact any country on this planet.
Mumbai is scarred permanently. And so are the people…You walk down the road, there is some sound and the first reaction is a chill down your spine. People shake up at once. Expecting anything any moment. Quite sad for a city where everyone is busy just rushing to their destination…Four five days after the attacks, trains were still running empty…I for myself am having second thoughts about using public transport. We feel like sitting ducks…No idea from where the next bullet will come to hit us!
My mother is scared.She doesn’t let me go out in the evenings.Doesnt let us spend much time outside home. I very much want to go out, watch movies and hang out. But not without a war at my home.
Am about to travel in train sometimes this New Year. From the same station and platform where the shout out happened and where a live bomb was found in the luggage room! People ask me whether I will be safe traveling alone. (I am a supposedly a well turned out ‘young woman’-again a sitting duck I guess!) I jokingly reply to them I would be fine as long as there are no bombs in the bogie I am in!”
Also now I can empathize more with the Sri Lankans.Now I know what is it like ti live in the shadow of terror. And the mental agony you undergo while it happens around you...Its nerve wrecking..And my nerves are not soothed as yet…
