Mumbai bleeding
This time I am speechless.
Time and again we have had the visions of the trains blown apart, markets bombed, mutilated bodies lying everywhere flashed across the news screens. These were times when these so called terrorists came in stealthily, planted these bombs, went into there safe hide outs, where they might have their last laugh. And all these times we were speculating the identity of these people. Based on few ambiguous descriptions from the people around, the forces were deployed for manhunt
This time around its different.. They are there, out in the open, with their young faces, clad in casuals, who if not for the guns in their hand could have passed off as any normal college going graduate. They openly entered TAJ, OBEROI , considered one of the most prestigous /luxurios hotels in Mumbai . Itsthe worst nightmare come alive. They have made no effort to conceal their identity, which clearly shows the extent to which these guys are motivated to carry out whatever intentions they had . They fired indiscriminately at the hostages. Not yet made any demands, They are willing to take on the whole police force, commandos head on . My god!! That speaks volumes about these guys
Taking out the top cops in the force, holding hostages at gun point, they have given a all together new dimensionto terror!!Spine chilling .
But, bottom line to it all is that innocent lives are lost, dreams cut short abruptly,. The wound from the previous attacks has not healed yet and Mumbai is bleeding again .
