Bomb struck Mumbai!


Mumbai seems to be jinxed of late! First it was the downpour, followed by the Shiv Sena riots and now the worst hit of all times, the serial blasts on 7/11. Though our telly actors might not be that affected as the common man on the streets but they surely went through their share of tensions for the well-being of their loved ones.
Smriti Z Irani was shooting for Kyunki… when the blasts took place and was

nervous till she heard about her daughters well being. "I can't put in words what I feel about the whole issue as I'm dumbstruck. My daughter was stuck in Bandra and the phone lines were jammed so we couldn't get through her. After the shoot, I went to the Sion hospital to donate blood and came back home in the early hours of the next morning. One of our party (BJP) worker lost his brother in the blasts which is really sad.
Mumbaikars have really gone out of their way and helped the victims, donated blood and volunteered to provide food and medicines. They didn't wait for the higher authorities to initiate and contributed big time in coping up with the tragedy. Today I'm back to work and have also sent my kids to the school. So we are once again on our feet for now."

Well, in my opinion we shouldn't be so judgmental about these issues of the emergency services not being up to the mark. I did see people saying on television that none of these services were given when the tragedy occurred, but still we should stay calm. On the other hand I must say that the spirit of Mumbai was mind boggling. I saw the people helping the victims, and also the trespassers who were unable to get transport on the road. So I think that we shouldn't get judgmental and must keep up the spirit of Mumbai.

I am not surprised! I did hear that the services were not provided on time, and also saw the spirit of Mumbai. The concerned people didn't do anything, so the people had to put their foot down and aid the needy. Other than this incident, after the deluge which happened on 26/7 no measures were taken to protect the city, and this was proved on 4/7. I just have one question, where is our money going???
