Bombay is amazing...

[Inspector Jihad]

the city is almost back to its grind.

Train services in the city are almost back to full operation - even the Western line, the target of the attacks, is creeping back to normal.

also intersting is the the two major kashmiri terrorist organizations called the attacks "barbaric" and "outrageous"

wonderfully echoed ... also definition of normal is relative .. especially India's definition of normal ... remember the 8 inches of rain that shut parts of the city down???

what is more remarkable is that the Indian ADRs yesterday did not nosedive ...

Funny to see ox driven carts on the freeway.

One time, I almost died riding in a rickshaw as the driver almost clipped a cow and jay walker going full speed. Not funny.


It's also not funny seeing sad looking crippled walking cows with their calfs in tow--really heartbreaking.

Yea, my parents and I were comparing that the other day.

For example, we've had cities flooded in parts of Gujurat, and other part of India as well.

AFAIK, Gujurat is almost back on it's feet. The city that I'm talking about, Surat, is approximately 200km^2 and has about 4.5 million people living in it, and it's pretty back to normal.

I don't know how comparable it is to the damages of Hurricane Katrina, but that was almost over a year ago, and people are still suffering, somehow.

edit: floods in Surat reached 20 feet this year.
