Cats have better memories than dogs

It was ten years ago today that a series of bomb blasts ripped thru the bustling metropolis of Mumbai killing more than 250 people, injuring nearly a 1000, destroying property worth crores… …

For most the blasts are distant, inconsequential, long forgotten. Just as the events which brought on the attack and the atrocities committed after in name of investigations

I remember it vividly because by a strange quirk of fate on this very same day and time I was reaching Mumbai to meet Swati. The train was delayed by 45 min. Thank God for that, had the train been on time Swati would definitely be caught in either the Air India office blast OR the Worli station blast.

It was also this very night that my brother said that Swati cannot stay at his place and that she will never be a part of the family… … Thankfully again that also has been forgotten(?) by everyone.

  • I realise that the blasts had occured right outside my office and home andon the way to and from these places. I wasn’t working in Mumbai then.
