A Salute to the Mumbaikar’s Spirit


The 7/11 had been a deadly evening for the people in Mumbai when the city burned in 7 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring more than 500. The bombs were planted in the local trains and timed such that it caused maximum damage to the people. People were blown off into multiple pieces difficult to gather. The whole Mumbai came together to help and rescue people to hospitals and shelter were created for those who survived. People flooded the hospitals to donate blood to the extent that the blood bank issued a notice by midnight that they are full and don’t require more blood. By mid-night everything was in control. The next day people dusted themselves off and went to work in full strength in the same trains that were targeted. Its been a slap in the face of terrorist wanting to shake the faith of people in life, brotherhood n tomorrow. Mumbaikars have shown to the world that they won’t allow anyone to disrupt their life like this and divide them into the caste n sect bifurcations.
Way back in 2004 when Delhi was blown on 29/11 just before the big festival Diwali, people caged themselves into their houses for the fear of being caught in the tragedy again, for get even celebrating the festival awaited the year long. The crackers were bought with extreme care to insure nothing malicious is being bought. The number of causalities was the same but the sorrow and grief was celebrated for over a month.
But Mumbaikar ‘s have shown nobody dare threaten them like this as the spirit of Mumbai is very strong and cannot be harmed. A big Salute to all Mumbaikar ‘s n the city MUMBAI.
