Mumbai Train Blast and A Letter to Terrorist..

More than 150 Dead, and around 500 wounded... What a Cowardly Act, I really don't understand what one would gain by blasting crowded local trains other than by spreading panic and terror. But, Mumbai is Mumbai, and there is no question of panic and terror ; There was , in fact timely help and support by the locals to those affected and wounded passengers all the way ; Find below an extract of a forwarded mail, titled "A Letter to Terrorist" Dear Terrorist, Even if you are not reading this we don't care.

A True Story on Determination

A nice story to start the new year with...... In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before. Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge ...
