Bombay blasts
At 2.32am, per TV channels, 163 dead. 11 minutes, 7 blasts.
At 2.32am, per TV channels, Western Railway's locals between Churchgate-Bandra, Vasai-Virar and other routes have started functioning.
I've just come back home after seeing scores of people on the road offering bottled water, parle-g biscuits and even cooked meals in small packets to each and every vehicle they can stretch their hand to. They were everywhere. And they're still there as I type this.
My thanks to that awesome lot at Mumbai Help for making those calls. Bloggers - you rock. Awesome work.
Head over to Desipundit for their sticky post on 11/7.

Black Friday 1993. Never forget.
Friday, 12th March 1993. Everyone in Bombay has a story for that day. Mine - A piece of paper stuck on a local train which simply read "Blood needed, please come to King George's Hospital."
Sunday, 12th March 2006. Cursory references in today's edition of TOI and HT. And that too courtesy of a bomb, which was defused yesterday at Chowpatty beach.
For the record, here are some details from S. Hussain Zaidi's authoritative and hard-hitting book "Black Friday. The True Story of the Bombay Blasts".
