Mumbai Burning

If hitting the psyche was the purpose, they have succeeded. I for one am shaken, and badly at that. South Mumbai is one place I have always loved. I remember walking trhough the fort area where my dad used to work, marvelling at the vibrant city around me. Nariman point - the end of mumbai and the most expensive real estate destination. Taj Mahal Hotel - I remember going there for a coffee and some desserts, that is all I could afford, but really wanted to be in Taj. The place was so posh that I promised myself to stay there once sometime.
And to know that all this was targetted brutally, in the most brazen manner. Snap shots of young kids, sneering audaciously, carrying weapons, striking terror into the hearts. These guys relished in killing. People grown on staple of hatred.
No place is safe anymore.
