Mumbai Mourns Again on Wednesday 13/7, 2011

Its been quite a sometime I have been to South Mumbai after my return from Delhi last year. I left home around 4pm to visit first Siddhivinayak temple at Dadar. From there I got down at Tardeo and walked up to Lamington Road near Opera House at around 6.30 pm. I decided to walk further upto Opera House from Lamington Rd then suddenly people started to gathering near a TV shop watching Breaking News. I moved closer & saw only text messages about serial Bomb blast to my surprise felt terrible for some a while with anger. Maybe I was blessed to live though I passed these two Bomb blast locations between 5pm - 7pm from Dadar to Opera House.

By sharing my journey I only want to say that this could happen to anyone in the city of Mumbai which is vulnerable to such terrorist attacks. Who to blame or whose is responsible or accountable makes no sense with repeated attacks in same places again & again only indicates how unsafe is our life & property with such Govts.We may be technically equipped with advanced weapons to deal with these kinds of attack or may even deploy police personnel's in big numbers so far has failed miserably. What we really need is Central Intelligence teams working 24/7 coordinating with all local security agencies gather information at all times.

As a matter of fact we all fail to implement any good ideas suggested by our security experts and foolishly follow politicians advice who are not experts to advice in these matters. People die & properties worth crore's gutted in fire and we all forget what happened in few days. Hope this stops and people seriously question concerned authorities and make them accountable.

God Bless Mumbai...Amen!
