Utterly stunned and frozen in trepidation, I saw the news of serial bomb blasts. Eight of them, in the first class compartments of the Lifeline of Mumbai…local trains at eight different places, all in western suburbs at peak hours left the entire country scandalized.
My mom works in Santacruz and the news sent a cold jerk down my spine. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening; all I could do was to try contacting her. With mobile lines jammed, landlines dead and heart beat soaring I felt completely helpless. Fortunately, she had taken the previous train and reached home safely. That was a close shave. The turmoil of emotions I went through during those ten minutes, ranging from terror to anxiety, from anticipation to relief is beyond description.
The news channels splashed the bloody sight throughout…from splattered blood stains, severed heads, and limbs to headless torsos, the prospect disgusted me. Humanity???...Does it really exist? What kind of sadistic pleasure do these psycho lunatics derive from such inhumane acts? Do they really know what they want?
Mumbai…I still can’t figure what kind of attitude this city has…whatever be the catastrophe and however intense, it jumps to control the situation to minimize the inconvenience. Locals spontaneously sprang in to help out the victims even before the professional help arrived. This city is nothing but “never say die” attitude personified.
But is it fair that our beautiful city becomes the target of natural calamities and human terrorism recurrently just because we manage emerge out successfully? But whom to blame?

Just to save valuable space, most, if not all, manufacturers had converted most of these small appliances into something that is ready to be mounted under their kitchen cabinets. With German world-class engineering, you can count on all the comfort from the Olympus S2120 that you expect from any Miele product. Chest freezers are usually more energy efficient than upright freezers and while most have to be manually defrosted, they often have a drain at the bottom that makes cleaning up from defrosting easier. and 1,200 units in Canada are involved in this recall.
