I hope readers and friends in Mumbai are doing ok through the ordeal of the last day. Like most I have been glued to CNN and Twitter for real-time updates on this brazen episode.
I did find it ironic that The Leopold Cafe was one of the targets.
Shantaram brought global fame to this icon in Mumbai where his book begins before he went and fought with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. And now the war has come back to this crowded little place which has seen more passports and heard more accents from around the world than its tiny footprint would suggest.
The attack may have been on Mumbai. The target and impact is global.
