Mumbai Terror Attacks...

Well i guess all of you must be knowing about the Mumbai terror attacks... Now i am deeply saddened and disgusted by the state of affairs, but the point that i want to make is do we really get the significance or reality of the situation. For eg: from all the contributors of this blog, except Vids and Kamy, we all were not in Mumbai at the time. This somehow deadened the impact,softened the blow, somehow buffered it. Atleast for me. Maybe that's cause i don't read any newspapers regularly in Pune and definitely not during exams and that i don't watch news there either. But when i returned to Mumbai shortly after, i understood the gravity of the situation and literally for 2 days there was nothing else i could think about, while in Pune i thought about this for probably 2 hours in so many days, that's all. Then what about the rest of the country??? the rest of the country isn't even from Mumbai to feel anything as hard as we might. And what about the policy makers sitting up there in Dilli?? But this "Geographical Barrier" does insulate and that's not good.
