Bomb Blasts happening in Mumbai...please take care

Very scary - 7 bomb blasts in Mumbai. All blasts happened in trains - 1st class mens compartments - I guess the terrorists decided that to be gentlemen and not hurt women.
Anyway this is totally ridiculous. 7 blasts - just goes to show how vulnerable the people of this city are. The worse part about this blast will be that, Mumbaikars will become survivors and saviors and after 2 days life will be back to normal - and everyone will sing praises about how great the spirit of Mumbai is and nothing will be done to stop this happening again and again and again. I really wish the people of this city would stop accepting these incidents as 'things that just happen' or things that you can predict and prevent. I am not saying things could/should have been stopped and the police and other authorities have not done a good enough job (I don't know about this yet - stuck in office - no TV). But really we should have a better crisis management plan, we should have better intelligence, we should have harsher punishments, we should demand more accountability...

Its about time we start waking up and realising we don't have to exist the way we always have...
