I hope everything works out ok. Watching it on CNN now and Indian troops just stormed the Taj Hotel where the foreign hostages are being held :(
My mum's friend is in Mumbai now....thought she was stuck in Beijing as her passport had been lost when she sent it off for her Indian visa but she's there
:( |

| Watching the coverage, I kind of feel like when the tsunami hit...not that the scale is the same, but that I started to realize it could be a lot bigger than what is currently being reported. |

Its very frustrating and disturbing every time I hear about something like this in India or anywhere in the world. But this hits me harder and makes my skin crawl. Although I didn't grow up there, Mumbai is where I was born and I have a LOT of family there. I try to visit them once every year, so I guess that's why I've always felt a strong sense of attachment with the city.
What makes it more frustrating is how religion becomes a scapegoat for something perpetrated by a bunch of lifeless cowards who do not belong to any faith.
I hope your close ones are okay. I know mine are, including my mom who is visiting. I'm heading down there myself next month. |

Hey atleast its safer than Pakistan in Pakistan you go shopping for vegetables you end up with pieces meat in your bag for free.:nervous:
Sad news for people in India and I hope the ******'s behind this are killed in the most painful way possible. |
I remember you telling me how your family was trying to keep it low for your marriage celebrations. Its really unfortunate for those affected in the region to be living in times like these. |

im sorry but yes islamic activists have already been suspected of this
but its on an internal basis...its not the whole muslim population thats being put in the spotlight, just the few known ones...
