I can only recollect a gist of what i wrote way back in 2005 for a mag just after the 7/7 attacks while in London,
"Leave alone the funny aspects of accent,life and weather in the UK - its a country that has umpteen facts to boast about. The history, heritage, the land of the Romans, the land of Hadrian Wall, the land of a living Monarch, the land of the Lady! Its tourism and the serene country side, truly worth a visit once in a lifetime. To this no-nonsense ever business minded public the 7/7 incidents sent a jitter through their spines with the public transport being heavily disrupted. But there was no stopping and each one carried on like any other day. Just when we were out of this fear, came the depressing news of the monsoon havoc in Mumbai. As we turned pages on the 1000s of affected families in India, came Katrina which swirled away 100s and 1000s in New Orleans. Wind, Water and Fire definitely is more powerful than terrorism. Why doesn't a clone of Katrina just wipe off and uproot terrorism, rather than affecting and annoying the innocent crowd around the world.
WORLD PEACE !!
- not being a Ms. Congeniality contestant but as yet another empathetic kindhearted soul. "
I will just have to re-phrase it for the sake of Mumbai-meri-jaan now. But whats the point ? I can only pray - "sarve jana sukhino bhavanthu"!
