Nationality is just a word that separates two individuals from each other. Wherever the person is from, its a loss to Mankind in the end. May God bless their family during this time and always. For the injured, I pray they all recover as soon as possible.

One Question to Raj Thackeray, ''Where are you and your Brave Sena?" All NSG commandos were either from north or south India. They fought and even sacrificed their lives so that people like you can eat and sleep peacefully at Shivaji park! An advice to you, 'Learn to Respect people... and stop being a coward bully!'

After 60 Hours Of Terror....We Finally Overpower it!
But...
187 Lives Lost and 300+ wounded.  (

TAJ HOTEL OPS OVER!!!

NARIMAN HOUSE OPS OVER!!
OBEROI-TRIDENT HOTEL OPS OVER!!

Congratulations to the NSG Commandos for clearing off the terror at Taj, Oberoi and Nariman House! We are proud of you. Thank you.

For the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us, 'We'll always be indebted to you! May your soul rest in peace. May you get a place next to God. We are proud of you!'

For all the innocent people who lost their lives, 'Extremely sorry. May your soul rest in Peace. May your family get all the strength in the world to cope up with what they've lost!'

For all the terrorists who got shot or who will get shot now or later, 'Bleh.. Go to Hell.. well, you don't even deserve hell.. You deserve a pond full of sharks, eels and piranhas'

AAZAM AMIR, a Terrorist caught by police has revealed the truth.
Pakistan was the place where training(in Ak-47 and Sea war) was provided to them for 6 months. They left from Karachi to India(Mumbai) in a Ship. Mid-way, they took over "Kuber", a fishing boat. Later they killed the owner of the boat. They got into Taj, Oberoi as Employees and trainees months back to get accustomed with the layout. 10 days before the attack, they brought the ammunition from Pakistan through Karachi and landed up at Machlimar. From there, they went to CST and Leopold Cafe.

**Commando Briefing:
Terrorists Well Informed with the Taj Hotel Layout.
Attackers Fired Indiscriminately
They had Chinese made Grenads
Trained in Explosives
Do not know whether attackers are injured or not.
Had 7 Credits Cards, Malaysian Address; HSBC, ICICI, etc
Everything with Police Department now.

Narendra Modi visits Karkare and Salaskar Family. Promises to give 1 crore to the Martyrs' family.
I wonder how is Money going to replace these lives! Can't these people think of anything else except Money! Get Alive! But anyway, what else can be done. Had they spent this money for  strengthening the security of our country, we would not have seen this day. Yes, indeed it is an Intelligence Failure.

This is not done. Seriously Not Done. I'm actually feeling so helpless. I see people getting killed, I hear of cops getting shot... in short- mankind losing it charm and all I do is sit and watch the end of humanity. This is one of the most horrifying incidents to have taken place in mumbai.
No, this isnt the right time to blog. I'm disturbed and hurt. I fall short of words to describe what I'm going through right now. Neither can I sleep nor can I study, but there is no other place where I can TALK. Initially I thought since the blasts took place during night, no much harm must have been done. But as time passed by, things took an ugly turn. Firings, deaths and more blasts... Reports (ndtv & zee news)say over 90 dead and over 200 injured [kindly check on updates above] I wonder, HOW where the attackers led into the hotel? was there no security? or were some of the employees involved? Its hard to believe, but AK-47 rifles were allowed in.

Whats more depressing; three of our most prestigious officers ATS Chief Hemant Karkare, Encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar and Additional Commissioner Ashok Kamte were killed in the firing along many of our other brave officers. I pray their soul rests in Peace. You have done us proud.
Things didn't stop at this. A Ndtv photographer, was shot (no idea whether he survived, but I pray he does).




The blasts started at around 9:35 pm and went upto 10:00 pm on 26 November 2008. It's 27 November 3:58 am now, and the firing is still going on. Places targeted are Vile Parle, Santacruz, Leopold Cafe, CST, Taj Hotel, Oberoi Hotel, Cama Hospital, Metro Cinema, Nariman Point, Colaba. Can't believe but there have been 7 blasts in Taj. Taj: over 105 years old and one of the most posh hotels in Mumbai has been invaded with terrorists, came down as a shock to all. Many people are held captive including foreigners. I feel ashamed by the fact, that these visitors are never going to visit India again. More than that... their experience here will be no less than a nightmare. Till now there have been 13 attacks.[updates shall be done]

Seriously its a shame that these people target the innocent and behave as if they have accomplished a great deed. According to the latest reports, Deccan Mujahideen has claimed the responsibility for the attacks. Whats more!? They even owe up sitting miles away from here and try to escape with a police van. Insanity touching its limits! Earlier I thought its safe to keep your mouth shut. Mum says, its dangerous to talk about them in public. But today after I see all this, I say, 'what's life if we don't help the helpless.. if we don't fight for justice... if we don't fight against evil... if we don't fight against terrorism?'

Time and again, 26 has proved to be a day for Evil Attacks. I pray terrorism perishes!

  5. @ Mys Lyke Meeh,

    Thanks for the concern!
    Yes, It indeed is very inhuman! And they will definitely pay for it. Not only the ones who are carrying on the shoot but also the masterminds behind all this.

    Terrorism is not just a word. The hurt they have caused to lakhs of people here will never let them survive in peace.

    Thanks for visiting. :)

    Thanks for the appreciation.

    Well, the attacks were at SANTACRUZ STATION and they were Grenade attacks. Moreover, I have a few friends staying near the station who informed me of the attacks too. :(

  14. @ Stephen (The Solitary Writer),

    I was surprised too. But then today's newspaper(TOI) says that these gunmen destroyed anything that came on their way. The blast in a TAXI was a part of that :(

    infact i heard there were firings at santacruz..but that was a rumour!! x-(
    so called up frnds and the grenade thing was confirmed. i wonder how u aren't aware of this.

    one request...kindly confirm it again. if its a rumor i believe i'll need to remove it from by post asap.

    take care

  18. Thanks Rushabh. This appreciation means a lot to me. The un-cool events taking place in mumbai have deprived me off my sleep since the past 7 days. Like every second Indian, I am so very angry towards the misbehavior of these political systems of India. Hope India unites to fight against all the terror she has faced giving a damn to the system.

    May terrorism Perish and so be the people who promote it!
