Terror attacks in Mumbai
Nov 26th : It seemed like any other night,Kim slept at 10:30 pm and Mallu was just loggin in to check his mails while we were chatting in general about our days - the first thing he saw was a blasts in Mumbai headline in rediff. We switched on the TV and everything changed from that minute! Till this minute, we have been trying to get minute by minute update on what is happening.
Am reading stuff, listening to those reporters, people who have got rescued, listen to those officials from all front - My heart is going through several kind of emotions - first and foremost -rage that we, as a country, did not have enough information to stop them while they had planned it so brilliantly and even had a recee, fear for the people who are still stuck there, tears for those who have got killed and for their families, salute for those who have been at the field from NSG, army, navy and the police force.
I dont understand how some fellow human beings are built in a such a way that they dont even have any remorse to use their own kinds as shields, kill people and create terror in minds and lives of people. Get trained and live and die like this! Why? What is that they have gone through or what is the kind of motivation will anyone have to get into situations like this? What is that they acheive? In the last two days, there have not been any demands made by these guys - what is their aim? I really really dont understand, but am amazed at the planning, execution with such precision and the resilience that they are showing. Why cant they do some thing constuctive?
While am writing this, atleast at Oberoi-Trident, situation is under control. Media has been doing (sometimes overdoing) their job. While am very happy to be kept updated by the media, when I read that these terrrorist have got satellite phones and their counterparts outside are updating them on the commondos position from what is seen on cable TVs, I did not want to hear more news! I just want those guys to be caught and the people rescued.
May god give mental strength to those who have lost their near and dear ones and I pray for those who have got injured to get well soon and get over this trauma.
