And they respond to the terror strikes in Mumbai Suhel Seth, MD, CounselageTaj’s staff literally saved my life. I was staying at The Taj Mahal Palace and Towers and at 8.30 pm on Wednesday I left the hotel for a wedding. Within an hour I received a text message from the Taj group requesting me not to return to the hotel and we were diverted to the Taj President for the night. I flew back to Delhi on Thursday afternoon. The whole country feels a sense of helplessness.Riyaaz Amlani, Restaurateur, Mochad Mocha in Mumbai, Everything is chaotic. It is quite obvious that by targeting popular eateries and five-star hotels, the terrorists are trying to get international attention. These attacks clearly say that we are not well-equipped in disaster management.Nina Pillai, Director, TrivedaSome of my friends were dining at Wasabi at the Taj yesterday and I was texting them through the night. One couple was pushed into the kitchen, while another spent the night in a chamber of the hotel. They retuned home safe this morning, but are absolutely shattered. The hotel is like a home away from home for me. I stay there when I visit Mumbai.What has happened is absolutely tragic.Pradeep Hirani, CEO of Kimaya Fashions Ltd. If five-star hotels can be attacked so easily, everyone in the city is an easy target. Mumbai has faced the brunt of terrorist attacks over the past few years now. We have to be more alert now but also retain our calm. America hasn’t faced a terror attack after 9 We have to react seriously and prove again that Mumbai is a resilient city.AD Singh, Restaurateur It is our 9 It will take a long time for Mumbai to heal from these attacks. My staff working at Bombay Olive are safe and that is all I can thank God for now.
