Terrorist Attack in Mumbai

There have been terrorist strikes in Mumbai sometime last night and even as I write, some terrorists were holding some people hostage at the Taj Mahal hotel. Some terrorists were in the Oberoi hotel as well, although I am unsure whether they have taken hostages as well.

At last count, nearly 90 people had been killed and over 200 injured. This no. included some policemen as well. May their brave souls rest in peace. A message of condolence for all affected.
I believe this is one of the saddest moments in my life. And some news channels are doing such a terrible job with completely sensational but insensitive headlines, as if this were a movie.

Our tolerance as a country of various faiths will be tested further and I hope we will stay together, despite such pressure. These are the times when one's character is tested and I hope we do have the guts to stand by our beliefs and sensibility to find the wrongdoers and target them only. Losing your senses and destabilizing the country is exactly what the terrorists would want. We need to be smarter than that.

Take care everyone. Be alert from now on. Stay calm and stay brave. God bless us all

Update: I have been using Rediff to stay abreast of developments all day. They have done a reasonable job, unlike most of the TV channels which have busy passing opinions...
