Human(e) No More…
MUMBAI, 11th of July 2006
History repeats itself with unfailing regularity. And we humans just watch helplessly. Or are we the cause of this? We certainly are. The most intelligent species on this planet is slowly but surely taking itself and all others toward a quick nemesis. We spare no efforts in making our planet inhospitable beyond repair. Perhaps in the near future there won’t be a part of the earth left worth fighting for. Maybe that’s when the mayhem will end.
May the almighty be with the citizens of Mumbai today. And for the perpetrators of this mindless violence. ‘Beware of the anger of a patient man’ Nothing can defeat the collective will of a billion people. Small wonder then that a few hours after the previous blasts, a hoarding at the site read. ‘They Suck, We Rock!!’

I liked that ..'Beware of the anger of a patient man' reminds me of Maximus Decimus Aurelius in Gladiator.
Thanks! I hope in vain that our 'leaders' wake up.
Nice post boss!!!
Interestingly, I wonder - is Mumbai's patience slowly running out? All the talk of an unflagging spirit notwithstanding
Your description of our first days in i-flex brought back several memories... Carry on the good work!
Thanks Sandy! Will try to capture as much of those days that I can recall.
