"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" ~ Guy de Maupassant ~

Bomb blasts in Mumbai

Mumbai burns again ..... four bomb blasts this afternoon.  Official count 45 dead, over 150 injured.  Innocent lives.

A picture named candle.jpgWill it ever end ?

Cell phone networks down, cable TV down in my neighbourhood.  I'm getting news updates from radio and the internet.

UPDATE : now they're saying its 2 bomb blasts - but the casualty figures remain.

UPDATE : Click here for an image of the mangled remains of a car from the parking lot, near the Gateway, in which this blast occurred. [thanks Sameer for the link]

UPDATE : cell phones are working now
