"I condemn this dastardly attack."
"The wires were pulled by ISI in Pakistan."
"I am confident that Mumbai, with its characteristic indomitable spirit will bounce back soon and show to the perpetrators that we are not scared and your plans to disturb communal harmony in our country will not be successful."
O our dear politicians, Give us a break now. Don't expect people to take it lying down again and again while you sit in your comfy offices enjoying the power you have been given for no real vitrues of your self. If you don't act now, I quite seriously believe that we are going to witness something like what the movie "A Wednesday" showed. Watch first 2 minutes from this video:
I particularly have strong objection to the unshakable belief on what is known as "irrepressible, indomitable" spirit of Mumbai. Quite simply, I don't believe that a thing like that exists. And whatever reasons we have to believe it exists, are actually not the high points about Mumbai anyway. The reasons for my this rather unpopular belief will take quite a few more keyboarding and I will write about them in the next post.
As an aside, there is theory doing rounds since this all started on 26th. There seems to be a logic behind the dates chosen for the execution of these attacks. The formula seems to be-
Date of attack = 13 or 26, alternately
Month of attack = Month of last attack + 2.
Look at the dates for last 4 attacks:
13th day, 05th month- Jaipur
26th day, 07th month- Ahmedabad
13th day, 09th month- Delhi
26th day, 11th month- Mumbai.
I am quite cynical that this is true, but who knows? These dates might be chosen due to some personal/religious/group preferences.

Hi Nikunj,
I was going through your blog and read your views on Mumbai attack.I think you have done a great job.The theory thats goes round and your logic behind it seems to be realistic.
I think the attacks are "a challenge to the economic resurgence in India," .The targets identified clearly demonstrate that the intention is to create panic and shatter the confidence in the minds of Indians."This war has to be fought together by all across,to protect the safety of Indian people, for economic resurgence and growth of the Indian nation."
However Mumbai has a long history of terror attacks -- and has managed to bounce back from them.So lets hope that this time also everthing will soon get normal and Mumbai junta will get back to their normal life.
