I stand up in reverence and salute each one of those good natured human beings who kept a vigil and helped in the safety of their fellow beings. Yes, each one is God send ( No matter whichever God they believe in! They are really God's own children)
I just want to salute all those involved in this massive operation. This is a live/true example we can look forward to for the unity we as Indian always show.
Once again salutes to all those who were involved in rescuing the people.
By reading mail on Mumbai Heroes are here, i never heard about this kind of wonderful job done by the public and rediff hats off to you and your team, i realise that kind hearted people are still there, it is really wonderful and marvelous job.
Please note that on the way to Sion from Matunga you will find many people even small kids helping the passing-by people by offering drinking water, wada-pav, buiscuits (they are also requesting car commuters to offer lift to the tired people who are walking from far off) and at the same time fantastically managing traffic to ease the movement - hats off to these guys as well!!
It is so very encouraging to read about the heroics of the local people of Kurla. Most of the time it is ordinary men and women who do extra ordinary things and become motivational heroes for the rest of us....they need to be eulogised and recognised.
The Rediff scribe certainly did yeoman service by remaining in contact with the people. In such moments, a calm voice, a bit of reassurance is all that is needed to keep the spitits of the affected persons high. Well done sir!
However, a word of caution....the authorities too were faced with an unprecedented event and they must have been stretched to their very limits and beyond. I am sure that none of them would have shirked responsibility of saving lives and bringing succour to the affected people but may not have been able to reach all persons at all places. Therefore, we must not be uncharitable and denigrade them in anyway, they are the backbone of our system and we owe it to them. It is a time when all must stand together and fight the menace of nature and get Mumbai back to work.
