I think these the very few things among many that can describe Mumbai, Amchi Mumbai.

Though i have not been born nor did my education in Mumbai, but it was a place of my first job.

Worked there in Reliance Infocomm for 15 months, that makes me bonded to the lively and lovely city.

Travelled miles and miles, visiting nearly all the places, in the crowded Buses, standing on the gate of the local trains when it crosses the Vashi bridge, that connects mumbai to its twin city 'Navi Mumbai', As the train crosses the a part of the Sea, it looks as if you are flaying in air over the deep Sea.

But the yesterday news of 7 consequtive bomb explosion has somewhere shattered, the image of the peaceful, invincible, harmonious, secured city. But one thing i cant understand is that why dont they understand that creating such havoc may be in terms of bomb explosion or riots, they will never succeed in distrupting the working of most populous city of India, these kind of attacks will infact increase the solidarity among the people, this i could say after reading several of the comments that the people of mumbai had written after the attack.

Yet again life in Mumbai has been disrupted. Yet again hundreds die. Yet again the so called concerned authorities come and announce compensation and relief which possibly never sees the day of light. Yet again these VIPs compound people's miseries by cordoning off roads for free movement of their vehicles.

And yet again we hail the Mumbai spirit.

The good thing about mumbai is that the people have a belief that 'bygones are bygones' and they get back to their work as nothing as happened, offcourse except the grieved family members of the departed souls.

All said, I pray for all the souls who left us and those injured and shaken. May god give their near ones the courage and strength to overcome this grief.
