My wife & I were dining at Zodiac Grill when the firing started. It was a nightmare. We managed to get out only at 6am. We wish to thank the Mumbai police for doing a commendable job and saving our lives. I would especially like to express my heart felt gratitude for the entire staff of the Taj Mahal hotel. They were the real heroes of the day. Every member from the various departments of Taj including Housekeeping, Sales, Service, F & B, etc were stoic in their resolve to protect the guests. They were more than willing to take the bullets instead of having any of the guests hurt. Unfortunately many of these heroes laid down their lives so that we, the guests could be safe and unharmed. To these brave hearts who were armed only with their courage & motivated by their loyalty & love for the institution called Taj Mahal hotel, I say thank you. For those guests for whom you laid down your lives you are heroes all. MAY GOD BLESS YOU! Let us all pray for the family & loved ones of those who lost their lives in this ghastly and despicable act of terror. A crime not directed at Mumbaikars or Indians but a crime against humanity.
