As an ex Mumbaikar,I was glued to CNN all day long. I kept thinking about all the areas that were targeted. The number of times I had clicked the facade of the Taj as an amateur photographer.The number of times I had boarded the 6.30 Andheri local from VT. The number of times we waited on the platform to catch the Madras Mail , late at night with luggage around us, happy about an upcoming vacation. So many of innocent people, kids looking forward for a vacation, young women waiting to get married, lovers waiting to be reunited, fathers looking for a giant hug going back home;so many innocent people died.Aamchi Mumbai was affected so bad it won't be the same again.
I am not sure when this movie, "A Wednesday" was released but it talks so well about such a situation. Excellent performance by Nasseruddin Shah. "Aam Aadmi"--how little respect we have, till we become someone like Mahatma Gandhi. No one is born great, they make themselves great. It is all about you.
