Comment posted Terrorist Attack in Mumbai by Sharell.
Hi Kumar, thanks for reading my blog and enjoying my writing. 
That is so saddening that you personally knew people who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack. The damage and impact certainly stretched far and wide. It’s really upsetting that so many brave and innocent people were killed. Hopefully they are all resting in peace, but the shock of what happened will never really be forgotten. It’s changed so many lives.

Awesome Tushar, thank you so much for sharing. You should feel really proud of yourself. That’s an outstanding achievement.

sharell, any luck with your new years resolution of “bun in the oven”
Ha! No Botham. It won’t be happening this year. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the time because I have to get my book manuscript finished (the book won in the end!). I can’t afford to be sick, especially after the whole malaria thing. It will have to be next year’s resolution now!!

Hi Lucky, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a facility for allowing editing of comments. Sorry! I’ve tried to find it a number of times. - Consumerism and Child Raising in Mumbai
Great story Jayesh! My husband told me he once went on a hunger strike to get something he wanted when he was a kid!!! Unfortunately, it worked. Although I think his parents brought him up well, he did get a bit pampered being the eldest son. - Which “Wala” is That?
Haha! Everyone would want to join the rat removal business and being an engineer might become unfashionable!!
Until all the rats get exterminated and then what!?
Everything is just really costly back home. But then again it cost 1800 rupees to get the bed bugs done here recently!
As for Ganpatti bappa, I prefer to think of his vehicle as a standard chuha rather than the repulsive rattus rattus!!

We saw it all on TV and it was very very scary. I think its high time the Indian govt. woke up and did something. I simply do not understand why the govt. is still quiet about it. We have the proof that Pak did it and we are still quiet. I don’t know what that means. If it can happen in Mumbai, it can happen in Delhi too. It can happen anywhere anytime. It is scary. But what’s more scary is that India is still quiet.
I do not understand how many people more would have to be mercilessly killed in India before the govt. wakes up and takes some strict action against Pak.
Firstly, I think you express yourself very beautifully. I tried to go through most of your experiences which you have penned in this website.
I can very well understand and appreciate your shock and trauma of Mumbai 26/11 and its aftermath. It was an event which probably changed India’s outlook towards terrorism. At a personal level, I was traumatised and saddened by the death/ grievous injuries to policemen who were known to me personally, and who battled the terrorists on that fateful night of November. India may not be as safe as it was, say two decades ago, but certainly it is much better than most Indian metros.
All the best and do keep writing.

Hi Sharell. Yes one senior police officer who was killed was a client of mine. Another senior officer who fought the terrorists at the hospital and survived is a very dear friend. This attack changed Indian perspective of jihadi terrorism. It was a rude wake-up call for India and Indians in general, though observers and experts in this area have been warning about the possibility of such an attack.
Regards
