Black Wednesday for Mumbai

oh my! I have an indian chatmate in Mumbai. Whats the area code in Mumbai? I think i should call them.

Hi! I am happy to hear that the blast did not affect you and you are safe. It is really horrific and dastardly act to disturb the peace of our Nation and it must be condemned in the strongest manner possible. People need to be more aware and cautious and keep looking for suspecting objects and persons around them. Terrorism is a menance and we must fight it collectively.

Hi Mayka, Yes, it’s a return on the monster after a lull of sorts Really don’t know if ever it would be possible to completely plug the holes in our society, effectively. In that sense, I do believe what Rahul Gandhi said, made perfect sense that its not possible to exterminate terrorism 100% What is more hurting is when the fact hits you on the face that maybe your own countrymen are conniving against us! I wonder why? What grievances could a few thousand people possible have when millions of us are toiling day in day out with so much of our own baggage of troubles yet we never think of bombing a place to protest something or to make a mark! And then this democratic system is really sometimes like a stone around our neck…even if the Govt knows how to deal with the situation, they cant due to so many compulsions of multi-party democracy…and we the lesser mortals, live another day to lament the loss of our innocence.

Hi, Yes indeed another inhuman incident and we are once again the victim. There was this train derailment issue and now this happened. God knows whats going to happen next! A friend of mine had a narrow escape as he is working in the opera house and he left his office premises just 15 mins ago. He heard the loud bang and immediately got a call from his colleagues and later he called me also. Its a shame that we are unable to do anything about this terrorist attacks. Its a real question asked by these terrorists to our system, intelligence and to us the mumbaikars ( the real sufferer). What is even more frustrating that now common people like us will be grilled everywhere in the name of security checks and the real culprits enjoying in some other part of the world. God save Mumbai !

Between 7.00 and 7.30 pm i heard a huge sound of an explosion while i was sitting in my house at Matunga central and i instantly knew that it was the sound of a bomb.I had heard a similar sound in 2003 when serial bomb blasts took place in Mumbai. I switched on the TV news and found that the blast had taken place at Dadar West, a few kilometers from my house.Then the reports came of similar blasts at Kemps Corner and Jhaveri Bazaar.I wonder what pleasure these Devils get by killing innocent people.Does their religion tell them that they will go to heaven by murdering innocent people?

Hi mayka... I heard that news almost at 12 as i was outside for whole the day... its really threatening and Mumbai has been suffering from same for years.... 1993, 2003 last 2008 and now............... hope all the mumbai's mylotters are safe along with othe citizens. have a nice day.

I'm glad u are safe. I can't imagine having things going on like that where u live.I hope everyone is safe to.

Thank goodness this is still a very rare thing in the USA, until we got world wide communication we were not even aware of how common it is in other countries. I am sure that the people doing these actions have many goals but I wonder if over the years it has been shown that violence can obtain those goals? The one that stands out in my mind is England and the IRA, the one thing all the violence and bombs did was it kept the goals of the IRA in front of the English people for a long time. At this point in time there has been agreements between England and the IRA but just this week I think the violence has shown up again. Didn't the peaseful work done in India work so much better?

I hope you don't mind my asking, but what is the holiday Black Wednesday? I am glad to hear you weren't in the vicinity of the bomb blasts. I can'y imagine how scary it must be to be near them or know they are close. I hope that everything is back to normal for you and your city now. Take care.

seriously a black day wednesday... many people were killed and injured too.. i hope government take action and find the culprits and punish them...
