In spite of such heart rendering occurrences,it is very typical & great of a Mumbite that he remains very stoic & steadfast even in the wake of such worst things.That is the real greatness of Mumbai & a Mumbite.Even after series of bomb blasts in May 1993,people showed their undeterredness/unpertubedness & composure to such an extent that attendance in offices was almost 90%.Had it been any other city,people would not have ventured even to peep out for another week's time.I have all my praise for Mumbai & the Mumbites who also prove very helpful despite their busy schedule.There is a mistaken notion that there is no social life in Mumbai,but Mumbites know to seek pain in pleasure & make their life a heaven within the available time.I am very sure even after reading all these stories of ghastly & grue some incidents a typical Mumbites remains very unperturbed & carries on his routine as usual.Mumbites are "Karma Yogis" & believe in the theory of "do thy duty & leave the rest unto God"They are ardent believers in perseverance & strict discipline. And one astonishing-rather laudable thing about this great city is that who ever, irrespective of the region/religion comes & settles down there will fit into that grue of unique culture on the very next day.And precisely,this could be one of the prime reasons that is responsible for its ever increasing richness in terms of material wealth & culture.A person who gets used to Mumbai life,refuses to move out despite the attendant hardshi

China should drop one or two nuclear weapon on mumbai and see if the mumbaikar's still show their undeterredness/unpertubedness & composure(if anyone is alive).

Modi!What sort of wishful thinking is it!!Never wish for it even to your worst enemy since you must be aware as to what would be the havoc a bomb like thing.Facing some thing with fortitude is different from wishing for such things like you.Please stop such pernicious & pessimistic ideas which none favours.It is very unfortunate that instead of sympathising & appreciating the steadfastness of Mumbites even in the face of such worst situations,you should wish like this!

Mumbai is a city of greedy minded selfish people running after money.The reality is no one has time for other.

Amit! Who is not running after money?Mumbai is a place which gives livelihood to lakhs of people & that too without shunning the laudable work culture & discipline unlike many other cities.You are mistaken!!Time is very precious & its value is best known to Mumbites than any others in the country.If you visit some one's house with prior intimation/ appointment,you get royal treatment-that way Mimbites are known even for their hosting also.The problem is if you knock at some one's door with no notice,you are certainly an uninvited guest since no Mumbite likes to lose the pleasure of the weekly off which he gets after hard working of entire week entailing hours of daily commutation in local trains or BEST buses.

no need of that. Just drive away all non-marathis and had over control to marathis only. Then these marathi will use Trombay atomic reactor for bada pav cooking and thats it. After that there will not be any Bombay.

While agreeing that Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city where any one from any part of the country can come,ekout a livelihood & settle as well as per the fundamental rights guaranteed to all the citizens by the Indian Constitution,one also needs to respect the sentiments of the locals who are politically exploited by disgruntled politicians of fanatic regional parties like Siva Sena & its recently born by products.Left to them without being incited, Maharashtrians are very docile,disciplined & law abiding.They are not to be blamed;the politicians are the main culprits who fail to understand that the over all development of Mumbai is a collective & concerted effort of all the residents who include non-Maharastrians settled & settling there also. Unfortunately even the politicians who incite the locals also know this naked truth,but for their own survival & in their bid to capture power,they always rake up regional feelings & thrive on it.Were any such feelings of regionalism before Siva Sena?Parties like Sivasena in Maharastra,TRS in AP are the real culprits in the matter.People know this also,but true leaders educating the mass of the hard realities who can stand up boldly,fight with unruly elements of regional parties are becoming a rare specie.

I dont agree, if you see in the election balot, every party is either a thug or useless. Mumbaikars voted for the least thung amongst them.

I feel both who didn't vote and those who voted, religiously brought back a z z holes. Now they have to wait with a ticket to hell, I mean wait for some blasts.....
a) No of Ambulances has gone up. All Hospitals and clincs have been given enough blood and vaccines. b) Our own terrorists ( so called politicians) will reach the spot after tranquility prevails. And blame each other and finally saying it is a work of PAK or ISI. b) Ministers will play the old record : We will combat Terrorism, PAK will not be spared, Our patience not be tested, etc . c) All Media will cover the full episode and run solidarity campaign thru SMS ( To benefit Telecom cos)and ask Celebs ( TV & Movie Actors nd Cricketers) d) All Celebs have been given a speach to say for eg. i) Priti Jinta will ask for stopping Income Tax ii) Sachin Tendulkar will say Moon is smiling iii) All Khans will show sympathy and postpone their movie release e) If victims are from rich community, then candles are ready in big quantity. If from middle class community, no candles please only words will do. f) Our ministers will ask Pak to hand over Dawood, Masood etc and give deadline of 30 days. If Pak does fail, we will extend the deadline period till general public forgets all about it. g) PM will say : All options are open h) DM will say : Terrorism will not be tolerated. i) FM will say : Diplomatic routes will be taken. j) Few celebs will participate in rally taking placards of Enough is Enough k) Each Media (TV News channel) will claim to be the first in capturing the photos of Terrorist Why US didn't suffer another terror attack after 9/11? Our leaders need to introspe

26/11 came into the limelight because some foreigners & rich Indians were killed. Media is not worried about previous terrorist acts where thousands of middle class people were killed in bomb blasts.

Very well said. The truth is that common mans life has no importance in India. Had politicians been killed in the parlament attack then something would have been done , but for poor man , no way . shame
If all the citizens in this country care for each other by being alert to save oneself and others,there will be no way that there will be a repeat of 26/11.We all have to stop being foolish by not giving importance to things around us.

The terror_ists know that the Indian Go-Vt is a Hi__jra
Not a single report about local support, Mumbai Police may be under pressure for not making any statements about local support, but what has happened to the media? Why not a single report on local support for 26/11, or all the jurnos are also on the pay-rolls of ISI, like all the politicians
People just don't care about 26/11'-That is a casual statement from a commoner.But for a citizen it means a lot. 1)26/11 is an attack on humanity, an assault on civility, and last but not least an outrage on our self respect. 2)26/11 has shaken the very foundation of our Integrity and democratic values of all the republics globally. 3)26/11 pinpoint the lapses from our Intel system and calls for updation,renovation and improvisation of our security apparatus. 4)26/11 calls for sacrifices from our part, an alrm to get ready for yet another freedom struggle.Freedom form corruption, freedom from political lethargy and Judicial rottenness, freedom from communalism.Freddom from regional liguistic hegemony and arrogance.

well said, we think others dont care,but others do remember the incidence ,and this i have seen many times in local trains when someone wants to keep bag on overhead self and tries to move away. let us be more vigilant,otherwise we will pay for ourlives more and more as its happening in pakistan.

what was the attack on the local trains and bomblast in Mumbai and Kashmir? Was it not attack on humanity? Just because you could see the shooters it does not mean the gravity of the situation changes. We Indians are dumb and are going to be minced by the growing Muzzi population. Remember they were 7 percent at the time of partition and the cancer has grown to 20 percent. Be afraid... very afraid.
let me tell u money has become more important than human life. today the youth, they think only about money and how to enjoy,we find very few youngsters who respect, every where in our country there is chaous and corruption.youth have no tolrence and nobody cares .religion plays such big role in everything.small issues are made big, even the media doesnt spare us(the people)anything should sell even if the country goes to dogs. where is our culture, where is that india where being of diff castes ,religion we all used to harmoniously? even vande matharum is a problem.today we say our youth are ones-but are these responsible? everyone wants to just enjoy,nobody cares.at this rate our country wont survive.
