3..2..1..boom.

"Waiter, could you bring us some wa.."


Bang.Bang Bang.Just like that.


At 9.18 p.m on the November 26Th, several areas of Mumbai experienced terror attacks including the Taj hotel, the Oberoi Trident,Nariman house and Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus. It seems almost surreal. Like something out of a movie or a particularly bad dream. But the reality of it is, is that all this is happening.More than a hundred innocent people have died in this incident and the numbers rose every hour. A number people were held hostage at the hotels not counting the guests locked up in their hotel rooms.I read the numbers,I saw the bomb blasts,I heard the gun shots.But nothing prepared me for this image: At about 5.30 p.m on the 27th of November, a man wearing a white shirt was waving and screaming for help from a window at the Oberoi Trident. This man, with no contact to the outside world, had been stuck in that room for almost twenty-four hours. 998 kilometers away, I shivered.
It was a unbelievable and horrifying sight. To even imagine the state of that person and the other hostages was too much to bear. And remember, we're nearly a thousand kilometers away.

Boom.Boom.Boom.

A group calling themselves the Deccan Mujahideen have taken responsibility for this attack. They entered these two grand landmarks of Mumbai and fired indiscriminately upon front office and kitchen staff as well as guests.
What reason could they possibly have to inflict such terror?And is any reason good enough?
