२६ feet

A week later, a few feet closer to the elusive ‘window’, 26 feet up. Am I going to make it? Time will tell. But the destination of this 12 week journey is a glimpse of that window. A fortunate few have been going through it since they arrived. Some have been progressing through the past weeks and there is that handful (that includes me) who have yet to see what the inside of the window looks like.
It has been a sleepless night for Delhi and a tragedy for the near and dear ones of the innocent men and women yesterday, who lost their lives in the 5 bombs that went off through Delhi. The irony of it all was, there is always a lot of talk about terrorism, its future, likely targets, the philosophy of terrorism, and so on. Who would have guessed terror would come knocking so close? Are cowards like these men going to find acts like these so easy?
