Ultrabrown: Live Blogging from Mumbai
Manish Vij, a good friend and prolific blogger on Ultrabrown is live-blogging.
And no, the lyrics of the Pearl Jam song will not be part of this post.
If there’s one thing that I didn’t think I’d ever do when I took to blogging, it’s live-blogging during a bombing/hostage situation.
Today was the premiere of the movie “The President is Coming“. While we were drinking free white wine, courtesy Sula, gunmen armed with grenades and automatic weapons stormed into the Taj (presumably the one in Apollo Bunder) and the Trident in Nariman Point. They were boys of about 20-25 year-olds and apparently they demanded that people with American and British passports to identify themselves. It’s now 12.56 am. The news channels are saying now that the terrorists are dead. Two have been shot at Girgaum Chowpatty.

Thanks Arzan. It’s actually Anonand on in Bombay, not me. Also, Amit Varma is holed up at a hotel next to the Taj:
