Why Mumbai again? Every time these coward terrorists have blasted our homes, we came out of it more stronger and united. Thats the Indian spirit

This is true in spirit but this attitude is not right.India gets attacked because we do not pay attention to security. Average Indian or and even police man stay careless until tragedy happens. Post tragedy people talk about it and then slip back into the same trap. This should change so we should not keep talking about the spirit alone. Mindset needs a change.

We are so helpless in that, security needs a ramp up but how do you pay attention to the security in a city with population > 12M

We can be more vigilant to start with and for that mindset needs to change.

I remember as a child I used to follow the security instructions like looking under the seat while riding a bus.My friends and people around me used to laugh on my cautiousness.

Similarly while driving if you try to stay in my lane and follow the rules and precaution, often friend and family members laugh at me for this extra cautiousness.

In India "what is destined will happen eventually" attitude is prevalent and that needs a change.
