That was the question asked by my housemate from Russia on an extremely cold afternoon in kitchen. We don't understand each other but she could clearly communicate her fear of what was known to her about Bombay. The conversation clearly indicated that terrorism has no language just like love and needs no communication skills.
After tracking NDTV live online for three days, it felt that Bombay episode was a replay of many things that have been seen in the past instances of terrorism. Government's inability to take quick actions, politicians trying to gain votes out of a disastrous calamity and media being news hungry and absolutely insensitive in their coverage.
What hurts the most is that a major part of our income in India goes in taxes. Where are these funds used and what for. Why should the politicians enjoy the best of life from our money, when they can't provide us with a sense of security. I know we Indians have the spirit but it is a choiceless choice too move on. There has to be a day when all of us stop and say 'NO MORE' to the government and through them to the terrorists.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPLOIT OUR SPIRIT !!!!!
God give me the courage to change what i can, give me the patience to bear what i cannot change and give me the wisdom to understand the difference between the two. Pic by:VG

Colourful moments...
Before going to India I had a long unwritten shopping list, which seemed never ending. I enjoyed adding more and more to my list but what matters is the accomplishment. After reaching home shopping took a back seat in list of priorities. It was delayed and delayed and delayed till the last day, date and moment. The frustrated me on the last day in Lajpat Nagar dint know what to do and where to go and finally decided to get mehndi done on left hand.
Mehndi guy did his job well. He told me about contracts for mehndi in marriages and will be working in three shifts due to heavy rush of wedding season.
The result was good!
And got better only. These pics were taken in the flight while I was enjoying the colour.
The pic below reminds me of what comes has to go but this whole experience of getting mehndi done was pleasant and motivates me for more attempts.
The shopping list is only getting bigger and better, but who cares its just a list !
:)
P.S. I forgot to titile the post and the it was added later.

Its time...
One of the greatest feelings is to be in the comfort of family, friends and home. The things on my priority list vanished as soon as I landed. I met almost everyone close. Some managed to surprise me and I surprised few as well but now it's time to head back.
I am putting down the lyrics of one of my favourite songs from KANK for the people I love and care for, who miss me as much as I miss them, when we are not together.
Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon main rehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
:)
