I think the blasts were planned at least a few days in advance and hence cannot be taken as a retaliation for sunday's rampage by shiv sainiks. Synchronous withthe sringar blasts, they indicate a foreign hand without doubt. It may come as no surprise if al queda is now turning its eyes eastward and we cannot miss to see the connection with our cosying up to USA the nuclear deal, our muted stand on iraq etc. God knows how we will deal with this menace. The sheer mass of humaniaty in this megalopolis is so huge that no precautions can be taken to check the luggage in train compartments, etc. The fact that these explosive devices were placed in first class compartments raises a question.l are the passengers travelllng by first class either snobbish or so nonchalant that they failed to notice packages placed on the racks or under seats. In this city people hardly notice each other whether in trains or on roads or even in apartment buildings. Life goes on regardless of such tragadies. It wont surprise me if people go to work as usual tomorrow if the trains run or even if they dont thy will hitch rides or walk down to offices That is the undying spirit of mumbaikars!
