An excerpt from one of the news websites of India:
"At least 101 people, including a foreign tourist and a top counter-terror officer, were killed and about 287 injured as terrorists struck in the heart of Mumbai in planned and synchronized attacks.Terrorists held people hostage in two five-star hotels, the Taj Intercontinental and Trident (formerly Oberoi) facing the waterfront across the Arabian Sea, and the Madam Cama Hostel.Three top police officials, including Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, were among the nine policemen killed in gunfights with the terrorists, police confirmed."
What more can i say......i am speechless!! I have gone numb, to think of it i was thinking of writing a happy post yesterday. But dunno what went into me and i delayed it by a day.....had never thought that things would change so dramatically in one day. The happiness has been turned into tears and there's a sense of gloom all around me. I never thought that there would come a day when we would have a holiday due to terrorist attacks! Yes, i have been at home today, watching the television for minute to minute updates on the worst ever terror attack in Mumbai. It feels disgusting to know that there are such people who derive pleasure from such attacks and feel motivated to spread terror amongst people.
By the way i am going on a family vacation to Coorg & Ooty; two beautiful hill stations in South India this Saturday and will be back only on 8th December. It couldn't have come at a better time.....i am not being a coward by running away from this...but i want to take time off from everything happening around! Will be back soon and i hope everybody is safe and sound with their families.
