- The fascist party of the Shiv Sena is at it again, beating up 'outsiders' and vandalising signs in English. Newspapers are overflowing with letters and interviews where people inanimously say that Bombay is for everyone and its beauty lies in its cosmopilitan natur. Anyone listening?
- a couple drowns (!!!) in the sea near Bandra Bandstand
- real estate prices are soaring - again
- 6 LeT men were arrested just before blowing up bombs at Churchgate station
- a headline in the newspaper says that in the 21st century shining India, child sacrifice (mainly girls) is rampant in West Bengol.
I am angry.
Sick to the stomach.
Speechless.
Furious.
Wondering.
Sad.
Then a phone call comes. Gurtaj tells me that cars on Bombay's busiest intersection all stopped so that a man can shift an injured pigeon from the middle of the road to the foot path.
I am hopeful.
