26/11: A day I guess wil go down d memory lane in d history of Mumbai, for of course all d wrong reasons..
26/11 was jst like any other day in my life..although i dint put up in mumbai for a major chunk of d last year , yet I had arrived a day b4 for some importantant meeting in Mumbai.. D day passed by normally in d fast lanes of Mumbai,a meeting,n den me travelling all d way from Cgate 2 Malad for shopping as my best friends wedding ws jst round d corner [n i dunn need 2 describe d mumbai local trains..yet i simply luv dem.. they r d lifeline of Mumbai]..n den a visit 2 d Sidhivinayak temple[i luv dis place]..somehow i dunno how but i managed 2 accomplish all my work pretty much in time.. By 8 pm i was back at my place in Cgate n told my sis 2 pack her stuff b4 headin out 4 dinner .. after dat we were supposed 2 reach directly at d CST station 2 board our train..But as usual my sis had different plans n ws not ready 2 budge.. she just got so pissed on me... n den, [she being d ultimate melodrama queen, puffed up her cheeks ,stopped talking 2 me n started giving mee those deadly scray looks as if i wil gulp u down any moment!!!!] d situation just got out of control n as usual, she refused 2 dine[ i was feeling so bad as i cant see my sweet hogger not eating ].. after dat we just took our bags n headed 2 d CST station..it ws 9.05 pm..[it was d first time i had reached d station so much b4 time.. else as a ritual , wheneva i have 2 board my train, its a marathon run 4 me, d ultimate DDLJ climax scene where i m running 4 d train .. D only difference being ders no SRK at d other end:P]... I just took my sis's hand in mine n firmly held it..I still dunno y i did dat!!!!!! ...cuzz everytime me n my sis enter a brawl, we simply cant bear each other's presence in d vicintiy..holding her hand ws truly out of question... n den finally we boarded our train at 9.20 pm...D train left CSt at its scheduled time..dats 9.30 pm..everything was jst so normal.. perfectly normal indeed....
Den sudddenly my cel rang at 10.05 pm..I cud hear my friend"s breathless ,panicky voice at d other end"Where r U? R U safe?" .. I simply failed 2 understand y her voice was so chocked up... I told her " I m in d train , n yup m all safe..Y ?" Then she heaved a sigh of relief n told me dat der had been blasts at CST station n even Taj n Oberoi r attacked.. I ws simply stunned... i mean i ws at dat place just 10 mins b4 d firing n everything seemed jst so normal...perfectly normal in fact!! For a split second i thought my friends kiddin.. but i ws dead sure listening 2 her voice dat she ws not foolin me...
D news had already spread in our compartment like fire!!..i was gettin restless by every passing moment..n d reactions of d people in d compartment were adding 2 my irritation.. One of dem was like" Acha hai ,hum toh bach gaye!!!"[ i felt like slappin him tightly n gettin all his dentures out of his b****y mouth when i saw him grinnin]n d icing on d cake was dis idiot guy who was askin d person at d other end of d call "Blast kaisa tha? Mamuli ya tagda?" All hell broke loose upon me..i just gave him d deadliest of d looks!.. I m sure he wont forget my face ever in his lifetime..[b****y f*****n a*****e].. It seemed as if d blasts entertained him... My heart truly pounded seein d reaction of d people around.. nobody seemed 2 bother as 2 how Cst wud b lik? Wot Mumbai mite b goin thru? n seeing d country's youth behavin dis way ws a true shame,...i just snapped at few people 2 kip der f****n gossips at bay..May b i ws mournin cuzz i just luv Mumbai.. its been 4 years i have been stayin der n its d best place 4 me in d world.. nethin happenin 2 mumbai hurts me deeply....
i had d most sleepless nite of my life dat day..
We reached jal at around 4 in d morn n since den i ws glued 2 d TV ..It ws after seein d entire incident n d bloodshed did i realize how big it was..It ws hard 2 digest d fact dat dis was d same place where i ws standing jst 10 mins b4 d firing.. n i cud have been perfectly dead as well!!! It truly changed my perspective towards life.. i value my life all d more now.. i wanna use it 4 all d right things.. i guess dat day ws a day of rebirth 4 me.. n yup for d terrorists n politicians ders only 1 msg" We were resilient by force, n not by choice..n henceforth we r not dat as well"..... n i salute d bravery of all d great martyrs who fought 4 mother india.....U guys r d true heroes.... Kip rockin....:)
dat ws d 26/11 of my life.... TRULY UNFORGETTABLE!!!!
