Something lot of us had at the back of our minds… after the serial blasts all over India in the last 6-9 months when will the terrorists attack Mumbai… Never thought i would ever blog about something so gruesome as this. I pray for those who have had to go through the ordeal and have lost their loved ones.  Its about time Indian government took a hard stance against this.

I was wondering why there was police check post on my way home… Been checking the news since the last 2 hours…
