Wookie : Hold on!! Bomb Blast at Mumbai...Calls up Vasu...
d Rat : Wat?? wat happ??
Wookie : Synchronized Bombing and firing at Taj and Trident...
d Rat : Shit...
Vasu: (picks up saying) i am safe at college, Rat..Desperately tries to Call Big Boss, who has left to Mumbai and stays at our Guest house opposite to Nariman House.. Leaves him a Text enquring his safety...
d Rat : Thank Goodness... stay put
Vasu : I 'll.. Blasts in South Mumbai.. Two Hotels, 2 Hospitals and a Theater.. and yeah Nariman House included...
d Rat: Shit...
Big Boss : Do Not Worry Rat..I am safe and off to Italy...Heaves a Sigh and desperately calls up every friend at Mumbai regd their safety... was up for most of the nite following every one thru texts and calls.. slept off some time during the nite... wake up to the texts saying the attacks were still fresh, well in the afternoon on 27th... was smarting with pain when d news came in that a colleague's Husband was a victim at Taj Hotel firing the previous nite...
Texts kept on coming in:
Wookie : Rat... Got to see the video of the terrorists... we can well pass him off as some college student..
Rosh : These guys will do anything in the name of getting a ticket to Heaven...
SV : Lots of Friends have been shot down, Rat.. its all hunky-dory... the terrorist guys are so young.. wat made them do this stuff...
Most of the texts were regular updates on wat has going on.. for the first time in life, regretted the absence of an idiot box at home and not being glued to it... every time such Terror attack happens i go thru a gut wrenching moment.. it feels so crappy.. ppl are scanned/denied entry for wearing sandals and carrying outside food, when entering a Hotel... Damn!! can't u guys sniff out RDX and its relatives in the same vein... all this synchronized shooting and blasts... how long and how much do they dedicate for these stuff...
It came as a shock to me when the movie A Wednesday showed a smart-looking-tech-savvy guy as a terrorist.. but when i see the images of the terrorists invovled in this operation i find no major diff... this is wat we have come to... young children being trained and brought up as terrorists by LTTE in Srilanka and so so many Jihad troupes of Islamic Nations... Caste and religion has no demarcation here... Damn Damn...
i am smarting with Pain and anguish and not able to concentrate on anything... above this Nisha at Chennai... 37 dead so far... offices, colleges and schools have been declared holiday.. even the Rain or Shine, ever working Chennai branch of my company is enjoying a much sought after holiday...
Words are failing me and i refuse to see any fresh updates on both cities.. but Wookie keeps on calling me to let me know of the situation.. i wont stop him, coz thats his way to vent out anger...
My silent prayer to these Terrorists " Please Let us in some peace... Please please please...Pretty please with sugar, cherries and cream on top."... but will they hear me out?.. am i sure that they wont give me bullets and bombs in return...? any answers anyone... Damn.....
Edited to Add: This is a Text i just got now...
Please forward Raj Thackeray's phone number, if u find it..dont know wr he is wen u need him, want him to go and save amchi m,umbai along with his mn sainiks... "THE" sons of the soil. Army, NSG commandoes are not Marathi Manoos...

@ hitchwriter .. horrific is a mild word
@ matangi...
d feeling is mutual.. a supporting shoulder is their need of the hr among other things..
and yeah... hope is a single thing that keeps us going..
if only the so-called sons of the soil worked 4 d betterment of the land!!
:(
such a sore tragedy- i'm still teary-eyed from it. i hope those friggyn terrorists hear our pleas n prayers, but i guess it makes no difference- they're psyched up abt this shit from the time they're babies..
n yeah raj thackeray has just got holed up-shows what a rat he is(no pun intended!)
prayers for all those souls n their families
@ ANWESA... if only..
know wat.. was going thru newspaper yday.. the sainiks are now conducting some poha festival same as they conducted vada pav festival... here the life is at stake and all these guys are concerned is saving the traditional Marathi food...
F^%K 'em all...
@ Jane... Prayers and hopes are wat keeping me going on amidst all these... teary eyed for 4 days now...
dun hv much 2 say...poured out evrythng in my post...n yes...Raj n his goons can go take a hike
A numb...
no issues.. its same with everyone... poured out so much that they are at loss for words.. same with me...
Raj and his goons are busy with Kanda Poha as i last heard... don't worry they ll die of Poha poisoning...
Same with me, Due to elections whole city's cable service was disabled. Wacthed whole thing on CNN-IBN online live video stream and followed it on Twitter, which was way faster then TV (it was 15 minutes ahead of TV channels.) Called every friend in mumbai (all are safe though).
Too horrible. Army has control now. Secret service officials have lots of explaining to do.
@ QM...
lets just hope its over now...
