The 9.48 Virar local

is running on schedule. The body count now, 14 policemen. 3 dead terrorists. 9 suspected arrests. 3 absconding. At least 6 Israeli hostages. All manner of armed abbreviations have been deployed. The silence is eerie. My heart still wants to beat itself to death every time the images are flashed on screen. A press release from the Taj group is defiant - we will restore the Taj to it's former glory. Damn straight, we will. It's 0441 in London. I just might get into work on time. Great. Suj's up, and it seems Binny is outside the Taj but his wife and kids are still in there....
