The Terror that strikes the city of “Dreams”

While we Salute our Brave Heroes, there is yet another day when Mumbai attack survivors recount horror and its day of funerals leave behind an outraged nation with grief and anger as India reckons with its "9/11". Mumbai’s nightmare ends after 59-hour siege with Commandos mop up last of Mumbai militants, and Mumbai slowly coming to terms of this horrific incident.

Terrorists stayed in room 630, had many visitors, and shamefully helped by Mumbai locals had a Target to kil 5000 people. We are now asking questions like Is Al-Qaida behind Mumbai terror attacks? Or did Dawood provided logistics but for sure that the Terrorists very familiar with the hotel setup and were `instructed to “Kill till death”`!. Government is saying that they have "Enough proof" of militants taking orders from inside Pakistan! and initiating Steps for better coastline security post Mumbai attacks.

The slight hope news coming out is that the Death toll in Mumbai attacks revised down to 174 and even one of the Taj tragedy survivors stich up rift, cancel divorce . It is very unfortunate that we even had to loose that number. Assault on India's fabled city of dreams has made people to feel helplessness, angry, frusturate, and asking : How much is too much?

Mumbai 26/11: eye-openers, hopefully for us as individuals and for the so called political leaders of the nation. One immediate reaction for a ruling party is that the home minister Shivraj Patil has steped down and P Chidambaram to be new home minister.

The Terror attack has now prompted for new hotel rules, however Oberoi still maintiaing that Security and hospitality can't go together.

I am sure that we all will have to live with Mumbai attack and its aftermath but also should take time out to Pay tributes to bravehearts and wonder What to do when terror attacks?
