'Life can never stop in Mumbai'

December 10, 2008
I have heard it. I have seen it -- almost live -- because even when I ducked we could see sparks because of the firing. I stay very close to Nariman House (where the Holtzbergs and four other Israelis were killed) so I have seen everything live there too. I have heard the grenades and the firing of the guns. I feel upset. I blame the politicians and corruption." He feels strongly about the fact that politicians refuse to be united when they get information about impending disasters they don't do anything.

But there is more. Even has he tries to push the memories of that horrible November night away and move on he quietly says, "It plays on my mind… Yes it does. I have not been able to sleep properly. That's the only thing. But I have to go back here. When I see this positive response it gives me happiness and sobers me down."

He has anger too. But anger is futile he feels and his rage is not given rein. "Even if you are angry what can you do? Can you take the power in your hand? No. You cannot. But yes this time there is going to be protests. The youngsters are going to show their anger. Very soon you will see on December 3 a lot of people are planning to go to the Gateway of India. I am going to be part of it. I want the crowd, I want the people to be there."
