A city in sorrow

Sorry, but I'm no more resilient than the spirit of any other city. Tell me, had this happened to Delhi or Chennai or Kolkata, what would those spirits have done? Would life have come to a standstill?

Of course not! Everything goes on, as usual, everywhere in the world — that is the only response left to acts of terror. Look at Beirut. Why is nobody salaaming that spirit? Look at London, Madrid and of course, New York.

Most of the times i do not agree or understand what Shobha De writes about, but this time i do agree. Too much is talked about Mumbai resiliency. To hell with it, let the Mumbai/India govt do something for a change. Where are the ambulances, fire engines, police sirens? Where are the roads to take them to sites in a jiffy? Where is the infrastructure? Where is the city mayor, where are the politicians who turn leaders? Where is Rudy? What are the lessons learnt?
