Leopold- a walk after mumbai attack


More than a week had passed......and i did nothing except watching the whole episode of the terrorists act on TV. I thought i knew everything and just by knowing it, i've done my bit.
I opinionated openly, through my blogs , discussed with my friends... disclosed my fears, and sympathized for the victims.
And when my friend arrived from pune, i though we will jst take a walk around the place ... i dont know what we were thinking.. may be we just wanted to feel the trauma and sit at the very table where there were blind gun-shots a week almost exactly a week ago. It was around 9.40 when we entered the place. .... just about the time , it had started that dreadful night.

As we sat and ordered for a few drinks we could not help but let our eyes wander all over the place.
A bullet hole just at a mirror was very conspicuous. As the waiters around told us- that was the place where some people were having beer in the evening and .... that was it.
There were several other gun-shots at the place.It was visible from across the room.

As they narrated it to us.
These two people suddenly entered and started shooting blindly at everyone.
Actually you could see bullet shots everywhere.
And this went on for 5 minutes- as they said. It might have been less , as it's really difficult to keep track of time in such situations.
Then they threw a hand- grenade .It made a hole in the ground beneath a table. And there was a person sitting there, whose brain came out literally.

Seven people died there, who had come from work or just to rejuvenate.
Two of them were the people working there.

It was hard to believe , something like that could happen. But , how unpredictable life is?

I realy don't know how to write about this or what point am I trying to make here?

It was tragic.
