I know its happening all over... which is freakin sad.

Just pissed off over the apathetic attitude of those in charge and at the helm of affairs...

Yes, the unity has to be applauded.. But ask yourself, why is it that we 'have to' bounce back every time? Mumbai is targetted everytime and politicians expect us to 'bounce back'!!

Many politicians just use this 'Spirit of Mumbai is indomitable' tag to digress from the reality...

The thing is, Mumbai will never , ever bow down to such incidents... that's because people need to make a living... and if an employee doesn't work the next day, he/she knows that it will not benefit them in the long run... that's why you'll see trains full with people today from 05 am onwards... Life goes on...

Staying in Mumbai with basic facilities for 1 year and one is prepared so much for life that he/she can spend a lifetime anywhere in the world...

I guess after a certain period of mourning and grievance, we must learn to move on... we must... no matter how difficult it may seem..

That is kind of you, and those who are praying for the citizens affected... Hope things normalize soon... Such incidents, be it in any country, are very sorry incidents... As a Mumbaikar, I thank you all for ur prayers.

I hope they get all possible help they deserve and I am of course thinking of India and praying for all those affected.

Dunno abt overseas help, but there is a good network of blood donors.. News channels havent covered it yet, but I believe that people should be responding... We have many sites like bloodaid.com etc which rounds up people from all over India for blood donation, and also using twitter updates there...Hope all is well for those affected... I have been to these areas last time, and I can tell you ths- they're really, really crowded in the evenings!

Have you heard how the blood donation is going and is there any help being given from outside India to support the wounded and bereaved? It's so bloody sad.

Hope and pray the culprits are found and caught and made to pay for all the destruction they have brought about. Very very saddening!

All areas under quite a security... People are helping one another....  If any people have any friends in Mumbai close to the hospitals healthy enough to donate blood, please pass on the message to do do.. Would be beneficial for some....

I know love and this is why the world is in such a mess.I always used to focus on not why it happened and who was to 'blame' but what could be done for those left behind and for those injured.

I hope not - this is too sad for it to get into a bashing thread.People are dead - that should be the main concern.
