There is anxiety, yes, and Mumbaikars know that their city is wounded, but they have learnt to take things in their stride and work though times of crisis.<br /><br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Javed Anand, Activist</span><br /><br />Mumbai is just too cool about everything.
Mumbaikars need to wake up and feel the kind of shock, fear and outrage that such incidents should cause. They need to react against the machinery which has failed to protect them.<br /><br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Shobhaa De, Writer</span><br /><br />There’s a lot to complain about in Mumbai. But after seeing the way Mumbaikars have upheld peace despite two blasts, I have nothing but admiration for this city and its people.<br /><br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Farooque Shaikh, Actor</span><br /><br />Mumbaikars live in rush hour. They don’t have the time to pause or to think about a blast for more than a few minutes. After that, it’s business as usual.<br /><br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Kiron Kher, Actress</span><br /><br />Resilience is the need of the hour, not just for Mumbaikars but for everyone.
