In the wake of the recent terror strikes in Mumbai, I have been asked by quite a few friends here about life in Mumbai. So here is a reference to one of my earlier posts about Mumbai written in response to a Readers Digest survey labeling us rudest city.
Perhaps after reading the post, you too will like to join in the crowd praising and applauding Mumbai for its spirit now. I am usually part of that brigade, but not this time. It seems to me now that Mumbai's famed spirit is not courage any longer, it is helplessness. It is not brought about by people standing up to terrorism but by people who cannot do anything but get on with life after terror strikes.
Everytime the headline screams "Mumbai survives again", it makes me wonder how much is too much? Is that day very near when "again" turns to "no more"??
