Too much to handle

It’s been a sad day in Mumbai. There’s been a steady inflow of bad news since morning about friends, acquaintances and colleagues who died yesterday in the blasts or succumbed to serious injuries by this evening. Some are still critical; they and their families are fighting it out in the hospitals. Others have been crippled for life. Their faces keep looming in our heads. I’m loathe to think that some terrorists must be gloating over their ‘achievement’ even as these honest to god working people have suffered irrecoverably.
