So, so sad. I hope whichever cowards did this are brought to justice. And no, it will not stop me from going to Mumbai.

The chief of these cowards will sing soon I'm sure. - God help them. Co-ordinated train attacks, plastic explosives, 7/11 cryptic date.

Having experienced Islamic terrorism first-hand in London last July, I have complete sympathy for the residents of Mumbai.
It's time that we adopt the same level of respect and tolerance afforded to the rest of us by the perpetrators (and particulary the source) of such acts. |

Well the following morning things are back to normal. The western train line which was shut yesterday after the 7 blast is more or less back on track with a few delays in some sections. Roads clear and things moving again smoothly. The stock market is UP too ... PROUD to be a citizen of Mumbai

it's easy to jump to conclusions --- the conclusions may even be correct. It seems that the government thinks so too.
But, in this country, thousands could die if it turns into Islam/Others strickes and counter strikes. In fact, it is suggested that that is what the perpetrators want to happen. Our Indian president has condemned both the Mumbai and the Srinagar attacks. He is a Muslim. And, in my very humble opinion, a great man. |

Mumbai is back to normal. Majority of them are back to work.
Salute the spirit of Mumbaikars. Ronak.

Have just got the news that the trains ahve started betwee Borivali and virar so am not expecting any problem getting home in the evening. Everybody has reported to work so what if a little late.

Well said Nick-H,
more than anything, we should not be afraid. If we start drawing conclusions beyond the fact that this was a cowardly act by a group of very sick and deranged people, we go right along with the strategy of the perpetrators. My thoughts are with everyone in Mumbai. |
