News of the Week - Mumbai Attack

This must be one of the most tragic news to hit home this week, what being hailed as India's 911 attack. (Pictures c/o boston.com - Alan Taylor , The Big Picture)


There were joy, upon the safe arrival

of those who escaped harm.


There were grief, of a mother who lost her

two children in the terrorist attack.

The shootings have ended, the pain still remains, especially for the family of the Singaporean killed in Mumbai. She was so young, so promising and practically had the world in her hands but, as we all learnt, good things don't last.

Coming back to my own world, it is again studying, as I did over the week. But nothing really seems to be going into my head.

To focus seems like a challenging task.



Trying to focus.


I hate studying, LAH.


The aftermath.


So done with studying,
gracias mucho
