    7 Bomb blasts kill at least 100 in Mumbai

    The 'official' number of dead is now 137 and the number injured is 230. Usually the GOI underestimates the number of dead. Sad, extremely sad how the innocent are the ones to suffer. It is much more than muslim verses others though. The terrorists do not distinguish. Not many people realise...

    Home Insurance woes, any suggestions?
