Had 3 blasts last Night!

    Friends by the title that is eponymous to the inicdent that happened on 13th July, 2011 Mumbai, you must have guessed what I am talking about! To transcend a view of a Mumbaikar after blasts.I need to present before you the plot that shows the relationship between Mumbai and me. The romance began almost 4 years back. They truly say its your courtship period you remember the most. I have loved this city from the first day I came here. I have loved its pace, its energy, its tenacity , its acceptance. I have seen this city from 3 perspectives.
                  Courtship Period :When I was a teenager busting with this latent energy to come out, I had an opportunity to intern at Bhabha Atomic Reserch Centre, Mumbai. I came here in this city without any accomodation. To find an affordable accomodation in Mumbai on first day was a herculean task for me in metaphorical and literal task as I was carrying two suitcases in my hand and and one backpack. Roaming around in the city , I got to know of a Sindhi Dormitory in Dadar the area which was rocked with blasts 2 days ago. I found a place where I could eat my Rice plate at Rs.25/-.Mumbai has a place for everyone. Mumbai doesnot have space for careless people as well.  I lost my first costly mobile at that time N70 Music Edition in the rains of Mumbai.Ouch!
                                                      Romance:When I was working at Thermax, I used to come here a lot because of meetings. I loved the pace of Mumbai. I always made an attempt to walk ahead in this race, always made an effort to work faster and harder than Mumbai does. Sometimes I had to catch my flights from Mumbai. It was not until last year I discovered the scenic beauty of Necklace when my flight for Delhi was taking off in the Morning and I could actually sea the serenic beauty and formation of clouds early in the morning. It was one flight in which I didnt sleep all the time.
                                                                                       It was only during this time I saw 26/11 it jolted every Mumnbaikar and every Indian. The nightmare didnt budge to come off from Taj making it an unlikely crescent. It was also during these times I witnessed Peace March. It was now that many Mumbaikars were walking in Procession against Corruption to support Anna Hazare.
                                                                                                           Affair: My affair with Mumbai started a little more than a month ago when I resigned from my last company came here to study Full Time MBA at NM. I never had time enough for anything else. It was just a day before when I was in my college that Mumbai was rocked again with 3 blasts one at Dadar, Zhaveri Bazaar and Churney Road. It was a moment when I had this emotional catharsis.It was nothing new to Mumbai but somewhere deep in my heart I wanted Mumbai to react. I wanted something to happen. I wanted every Mumabikar to scream out from the top of his throat to say that Enough is Enough. How much will this city suffer? It was the first time that I was upset with Mumbai.Next morning, I saw everyone rushing to his workplace.I know pace of Mumbai never slows down. Nothing stops the pace of Mumbai . But it was first time I felt that Mumbaikars dont love their Mumbai as much as they used to. It may be the fact because or very oen Home Minister said next day that it was the first untoward incident that happened after 31 months.Is it the news or stastics to be raison d'etere or shall I make it the reason to party around in Malad bar where Mumbai Police will come around to catch us students accusing of indecent behaviour instead of checking the immigration of extremist into the city ready to explod or disrupt the life of city.
                                                            They say you keeping know your partner (here Mumbai) even when you are in affair with her!
