Terror in Mumbai 2008.11.26 to 2008.11.29 This is a slide show meant as a memorial. I spent most of this thanksgiving holiday looking at various websites, blogs and participating from afar in the helpless anger-filled human folly that unfolded in Mumbai before my eyes and ears. It is a testament to some people who were brave, and a mark of respect to those who were not lucky. It is my way of expressing and dealing with the anger I feel at the senselessness with which human life is being treated by some. These images gripped me, and tell the story in ways that no commentator can. These are not my images – I have copied them from website and news articles. I hope that not only will we act to prevent such incidents from happening, but also to drive out the root causes that fester and lead to such incidents. I hope I am right about the resilience of people, and about the healing power of hope.

Mapping terror

Deadly cab ride … could it have been deadlier?

Ended journeys

Death arrived by sea

Panic-stricken & woefully unprepared…

Same guy … different perspectives

Daily newspaper clipping

Hurt in action …. at the Taj

Rescue at the Trident, Oberoi

Chabad House (Nariman House) … aftermath

Chabad House, after it was all over

Making sure at the Taj

The Taj: it was grand and beautiful once

Patriotic streak

Ashes to ashes …

For them to inherit

Through the shattered looking glass Café Leopold reopens

Epilogue: The Taj on2008.12.02
