What the **** is Mumbai's spirit?Ask a victims father he will tell u. Its basically we are very selfish?coment

Question

someone frm our house or VIP would have been a victim then it would be interesting to see the MUMBAI'S SPIRIT

Answer 1

The grief of the families of the victims can be very well understood and all country-men's hearts go out with them in their bereavement. What I am going to say should by no way be taken as an in-human feeling for the loss of life / injured in any household.

You referred to "Mumbai". Mumbai is a city collectively and not any individual or any family unit. Natural and violent (un-natural) events keep taking toll on lives and property. A grief descends on all concerned for sometime, yet no one stop living. We mourn for sometime and get to our respective jobs. We all know the early we get over the grief the better it is. But this doesn't mean that we don't remember our loved ones whom we have lost or our love for them vanish with vanishing their lives or sufferings on their lives. In our households also, we all have been loosing our nears and dears sometime or the other due to natural or un-natural death, have we stopped living for all or any of them? Continuity is the basic law of the nature and we can't defy that.

Those who have lost their relatives or suffered injuries will be in mourning / pain for some time, yet they are bound to muster their courage and zeal to carry on with their lives sooner or later. Their losses are ir-repairable yet for rest of us it is our duty to get them back on normal life by setting a precedence getting ourselves leading a normal life. Whatever has happened to them may happen with any of us tomorrow. What would then be our response to the tragedy?

If a huge majority of humans in the city of Mumbai are back on their feet as quickly as possible on the face of the continuing threat to all or any of them, having seen what has happened to the fellow city-men; And remember the collective helping hand Mumbaikars extended in the hour of need - won't you recognize it as the spirit of the city. They are braving the direct threat on them because they know the meaning of the life is in living.

Whatever has happened in our country in earlier terrorist attacks, natural calamities of Tsunami, Bhuj earthquake; Kargil war and all those earlier wars in 1948, 1962, 1965 and 1971; what kind of spirit we could notice; we emerged more strong, confident, resourceful and promising - though we paid heavy prices.

When we talk of a family, locality, society, city, state or country as a whole, we do realize that some individuals within that bigger unit may be having sufferings/pains, yet we don't undermine the collective face of the unit.

I am not touching your point on VIPs for some obvious reasons, may be that for some other time if God permits.

We pray for peace for the departed souls and speedy recovery of all those injured.

Answer 2

I agree. Terming 'Mumbai's spirit' is a hypocritical statement. These terms are being used more by the media, corrupted bureaucrats, unscrupulous politicians, greedy corporates & of course the high profile Page 3 jerks. Ask an common mumbaikar they have nothing to do with any high spirits in exchange to loss of near & dear ones. Who is going to compensate the people directly affected from this blast ? The right way to term this spirit is taking care of the victims family & convert their tall claims of their 'Mumbai spirit' into action.

Answer 3

u can see that u will never know how many peoples are really got killed in these blasts.. as TV channels and newpspers are showiing just fraction of what really died.. ..as may be govt presure..
consider one bogey usually carry more than 200 passenger.. and there are 7 blasts in differnt bogies....

Answer 4
