Thank you Mumbai Virtual Tourists and friends for your love and concern. I and my family and friends are all safe, and at home for the last two days.
The terror attacks in South Mumbai have shocked Mumbaikars. According to Star News, the rescue operations are over. The beautiful Taj Palace Hotel and Trident Oberoi Hotel has been damaged. Hundreds dead and injured, including 15 from Mumbai police.
The intentions of the terrorists are unclear. Sounds of explosions in the Taj and Nariman House can be heard outside, even now.
We can only pray for the safety of your loved ones and feel for all those people who have lost their lives on duty or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know you are well - we are keeping tuned to the news.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that your city has been attacked. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been affected. I am happy to hear that you and your family are safe.

I am so sorry you and your family have had to experience something like this. It makes one wonder why are there so many mean people in the world. And people that are always wanting to cause other people harm and to have to live in fear. My heart goes out to all the people there, plus all that have been injured or killed. It's terrible.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are with you t this time.

Hello MumbaiiteAnu. I'm glad to see your post, and to have this way to communicate with you. Our hearts go out to the good people of Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteour police and military have done their job.... and done it well....
ReplyDeleteNow we turn to the so called leaders (politicians) to see if what they can do.... will it be only finger pointing and than forgetting.... or will the guilty be found and punished, and security tightened up so that nothing like this ever happen again???
Unfortunately i doubt if we will be satisfied with what they do..
Shalom to you from Jerusalem. My thoughts and prayers are with you as Mumbai now tries to recover from what has hit her. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I heard was that the seige was over. I hope you and your family and friends are all safe. When terrorists strike we're all affected and my heart and prayers go out to you.
ReplyDeletewhen i first heared about the siege, i thought of my two blogging friends in mumbai, i am thanksful that you are safe, but i am traumatised that such a terrible event was conceivable in your amazing city. tragic, so tragic...
ReplyDeleteYour earlier pictures of the hotel were so elegant and peaceful. It goes to show that we never know what's round the corner.
ReplyDeleteWe were so saddened and shocked by this tragedy. Glad your family is safe and hope your city recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteI guess the only way to fight these acts is to move on with life like they never happened. The more the world reacts and cows down in fear, the more the terrorists will be motivated.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have the guts to visit any of the Mumbai DPs until today. I hope things have started to settle in terms of the general public safety.
