| | Another blast in mumbai, THIS is reason to be concerned. Seems like some kind of a trend, the bombs are always placed in public transport vehicles, be it a BEST bus or a taxi, like this time around.

People who do this usually want to put a point across, agreed - but why harm innocent people in the bargain. These are the people with negligible say when it comes to finance or politics, whichever one is being targetted.

Mumbai being the entertainment and commercial center of india-is an obvious target for the anti social elements. But why do these cowards attack soft targets, the common people.

There is an obvious communal angle to all this - cause mulund,ghatkoper, zaveri bazaar are all "gujrati" dominated areas. The blasts occurred just hours after archaeologists told a Lucknow court that a temple existed just below the controversial Babri Masjid monument. What are people trying to prove here?

Is aamchi mumbai safe no longer. Is it not the ideal place to settle down anymore - what with around 6 bomb blasts taking place in the last year or so. After all the good work done by the mumbai police to wipe out most of the dreaded ganglords, they have their hands full once again. I sincerely hope that the worlds second best police force teamed up with enthusiast mumbaikars can fight this menance too and make it the same safe place to stay in. I hope they gather the courage to fight on and overcome all odds. I so badly want to be in MY city and do something about this, rather than just sit here and crib bout it.
