I have lived in cities like Bangalore, Calcutta and Mumbai and have spent considerable time in each of them. I’ve been in Mumbai for over 5 years now and there have been quite a few things that have happened in these years that have made my mum call me in hysteria to ensure I was ok. Here are some of the incidents I remember

  • The floods of July 05
  • The train bombings of 07
  • The multiple bomb blasts of 08
  • Three different occasions of unrest when MNS chief was arrested and Mumbai shut down
  • The terror attacks of 26/11!

I can’t remember such times in the past. I can’t recall an incident in my many years in other cities which would warrant family/ friends from other cities to call and check on my safety. What is happening to our world? Is it dangerous living in this city or are our times itself dangerous?

It’s definitely a threatening time to live in… threats from crazy terrorists; political vandals and sometimes from poor frustrated Mother Nature.

 

 

 

P.S: Dear Mice, if you’re listening… we’re done here. This experiment has gone horribly wrong and Deep Thought II ought to really shut it down before we make a bigger mess!
