Read Priya Ramani’s article a long time ago (when it got published i.e.). Though people ripped her apart on twitter for being so open about her judgemental opinions, I had mixed feelings about it.

2 days after the Mumbai horror, I am still reading a lot of stuff, a whole bunch of articles, surfing through news channels. I really don’t hate anyone or any particular community for what happened, but I kind of hate that so many brave people lost their lives. A really good and interesting artical here…
