Mumbai terror is shocking! Prayers for the ones who lost their lives!

I am feeling really awkward – like many others – to learn about terror strikes at some of the most prominent locations in Mumbai – India’s financial capital. Over 100 killed, 800+ injured and many others held hostage at some of the best five star hotels of India like Taj and Trident (formerly Oberoi). 

I am not sure if I can name this emotion as anger, frustration, rage, terror or distortion. But it is sad. And it is equally true.

Innocent people who lost their lives were punished for absolutely no fault of theirs! Terrorists don’t see people as human beings, but as mere instruments/objects to spread fear and panic.

We say Mumbai is resilient and will bounce back. Life soon returns to normalcy after a few days whenever terror strikes anywhere across the globe. One has to move on and be resilient when there is nothing one can really do! Resilience then is not by choice, but merely by force.

My prayers are with families of those innocent people who lost their lives. I pray and hope that these bereaved families find strength and resilience to cope up with their lives.

THIS IS SAD, TERRIBLE AND VERY UNNERVING!

P.S:  I travelled to Mumbai and was at Trident Hotel (Oberoi) to attend a meeting just a day before. I was fortunate to have escaped this horror by just 24 hours – but I am not elated and overwhelmed because I know that many others who lost their lives had no escape route when death came calling! Even those who are held hostage as I write this have no escape route!
