I CRY FOR YOU MY BOMBAY

THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT I CAN SAY. MY FATHER IS IN BOMBAY CURRENTLY. HE CALLED UP AROUND 11 PM TO INFORM US ABOUT A FEW BLASTS AND OF HIS SAFETY. I SWITCHED ON THE TELLY AND THE NEWS HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE HAVE LOST BRAVE MEN, WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DUTY, WE ARE LOSING INNOCENT PEOPLE. ONCE WHEN BOMBAY WAS UP AND ALIVE AGAIN, THE VERY NEXT DAY, SO TO SPEAK, AFTER ANY CRISIS BE IT TERRORISM, COMMUNAL RIOTS OR EVEN FLOODS WE PAID HOMAGE TO THE SPIRIT OF BOMBAY. TODAY, ALL I CAN DO IS WEEP FOR MY HOMETOWN AND INDEED MY COUNTRY.
