Salaam Bombay


AN OLD WOMAN OFFERING WATER TO THE STRANDED COMMUTERS ON THE DAY OF THE BLAST

Yesterday horror struck the financial capital of India and all we can do was look in horror
the grusome images of bomb blast on television. These are moments of traumma and shock for all those who have their near and dear ones in Mumbai.I have a friend and a cousion and thankfully I got to them very quickly.The day itself started badly with 8 people dead in bomb blast in the valley. But what happened In Mumbai send riples through the entire nation.The capital was also put on high alert and there was a sense of unease as no one have forgotten the 1993 Mumbai serial blast.As the news trickled in the western railways the heartline of Mumbai bear the whole brunt.Seven blasts leaving 190 dead and many hundreds injured.The city was under attack but as we Indians did during the Kargil war or the bomb blast in Delhi the Mumbaikars fought back in the spirit only we Indians can do.Strange people coming from nowhere saves so many lives and then vanish away in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. There are so many stories of immense courage that it makes me feel proud.TERRORIST can kill people but they can never kill the spirit of INDIA.Lives are lost ,some dear and near ones gone forever but life goes on and no terror can stop us from doing that.You want to see the spirit, the western railways which had seven blast started working from the morning itself ,there was huge rush at the hospitals for the blood donations.There were so many people dropping people home as the western railways were hit.There were so many students giving a helping hand .So bring whatever you want we will fight back and fight back hard and at this moment my prayer goes out for all those who lost their dear and near ones.May god give them the courage and to all the mumbaikars "SALAAM BOMBAY". Your spirit makes me feeL proud to be an INDIAN.
