bombay

I am deeply saddened and shocked about the recent events taking place in Bombay (Mumbai). I was just there. I was just sitting in Leopold's having drinks and curry. I was just looking out across the water hiding in the shade of the Taj Mahal hotel. Millions of people from all over the globe live there, travel there, love it there, build lives there. Maybe it has really hit home being over in this region of world, and having spent the last couple of months travelling in India. It is just so hard for me to imagine the logic that goes into a terrorist attack of that nature. I have felt empowered and inspired in living abroad, being absorbed in a life so far from my own back at home; but tragedies like these leave me feeling powerless and confused. What kind of attention are they looking to gain, and how do so many people resort of violence in order to gain the spotlight?
What is terrifying is that nobody can predict this, and now it is being coined the 9/11 of India. Over 180 people were killed, and for what? Complete terror...
