Close Encounter

It is these people I saw yesterday on mumbai local train... Frequent travelers know the rush at Kurla. So as usual at Kurla people poured in and I heard a shrill voice screaming at someone "Randi hat saath mae bachha hai" The lady must have been 70 something with a baby girl of 7 in front of her. After forging her way in she settled herself few paces away from where I was standing and asked the little girl to move to the side. I was shocked that after screaming at another women to make way for the kid she is asking her to move away. But then a girl of at most 15 or 16 moved into my view. She was holding a another baby girl of 3 who was crying in burst and to top it she was pregnant. I had this sudden erg to slap someone and say what the hell were you thinking. All I could was move a little away. After a while someone got up and gave her seat to this "women" and someone gave the crying baby some biscuits and she stopped crying.

People might have given her food or a place to sit but the fact still remains "A girl of 15 with two kids, one crying of hunger and third on its way." And all I can do is write about it and then get on with life. Do we get immune to such things and let it pass? I wish that i never do...

Bombay blast

Life seems to be really exciting here in b'bay... First there were rains that would not atop then there was a riot and now blasts. You will never get bored living here...

Well now on a more serious side... The response was not bad mostly from the people of the city. But what one desires is that this was prevented since the city has experienced this before. As the days will pass things will unfold but blame has already been laid on the "terrorists".

Off I go to Turkey... so absolute quiet for the next 9 days
