Silence:
Just a day before I happened to visit Gateway of India opposite of the 26/11 hot tourist spot Taj Mahal Hotel which was under terror attack. When I moved around, yes there were lot of security, my bag was also checked by the cops and cops were on high alert everywhere although there tourists were downpouring to the scene. It reflected the true spirit of Mumbai citizens, ....for a moment I just prayed within myself for the martyrs and all those who lost lives. The crowd was really engrossed in joy and happiness amid tight security because that is the vibration this momentous historic landmark... Gateway of India escorted by Hotel Taj Mahal gives to the masses. Actually I visited for the first time after 26/11 2008 as my job was shifted towards north west of Mumbai and I did not time to get the glimpses after that. But I took a break and thought of visiting to see what was happening there..yes there was same old memories afresh in my mind as I had watched the battle on Tv for 3 days.
