At India Gate in Delhi we have a tribute for the unknown soldier. That is where Indian heads of state pay tribute every Republic Day. However tonight, I pay tribute to the martyr whom is not unknown to me, my best friend's father. I also want to pay tribute to all those unknown people who died, trying to fight the terrorists in Mumbai. Tonight Mumbai was attacked by terrorists again and perhaps the worst attack the city has ever seen. The attack is still very much on, as news trickles in about more blasts and more bullets being shot at the army, police and civilians. The streets of Mumbai are a battleground tonight. The Taj is burning, the Oberoi is under seige and the Marriot was not spared either. From Borivali to Nariman Point, the whole city has been terrorized.
Neither is the city stranger to terrorist attacks nor am I. However, this time terror has shattered someone very close to me and that hurts, real bad. I do not know what will be the consequence of this attack. I just hope and pray that my city comes out a winner at the end of this dark night.
