I Love Bombay
July 12, 2006 | Filed Under Point of View
They decided to hit us yet again. Some of us were a bit unfortunate and died, some of us were badly injured. Some of us are still shaken. Some of us cannot help but ask why. But we are confused at whom to direct this question.
God tested us with 26th July last year. That day also showed how angels manifest in this city. It proved to be a city that God loves more than hates. I don’t know how many people will eventually die today. But I know that even if I go away from this city someday, I will only miss it badly. May be I will carry the warmth that the city has bestowed upon me or may be I won’t but I will curse the people who have repeatedly molested this city of mine that they rot in hell ever after. That probably is my first black prayer to God. If God can forgive them, then we know why God is God. Maybe God can forgive me too.
I am hoping all your friends and folks are all well. One of my friend’s dad was very lucky and I thank God for it.

With Sidd - The bombs seem to have been planted by someone who had good local knowledge. Whichever organization has done it, knows the nitty gritties of train travel in bombay very well. The time was just before the actual peak hour and a little late and the people planting the bombs may not have been able to do their job well. Bombayites should be more alert in future. Time and again its been proved to us that we can’t really depend on authorities, we have to take care of each other.
With Dad - People in Bombay are soft targets. It’s difficult to manage, purely because of the population. But then again, it is because of this population that Bombay wakes up everyday, fresh and raring to go.
My condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones today. I live another day and may be someday I too will perish like them.
