More on Mumbai 26/11 - Heroes of the Taj: Michael Pollock

This was sent across as a forwarded e-mail by a few friends. This story is worth a read... http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2008/12/01/mumbai-terror-taj-oped-cx_mp_1201pollack.html Commentary Heroes At The Taj Michael Pollack 12.01.08, 7:40 PM ET My story begins innocuously, with a dinner reservation in a world-class hotel. It ends 12 hours later after the Indian army freed us. My point is not to sensationalize events.

Confession

History buzzing past, making sounds like it never will in the future. Blue versus red; red all over. Red to black...only time will tell. Hours and months of hard work. Anxious wait. Silence. A pat on the back? Discreet cough. Walk the talk - day in, day out. In a language that is not mine. New tongue. New eyes. Same heart. Old values. But do values age too? New ideals. Just words. How do I find the bird that sings all through? Conviction. Concession. Confession No more belonging. Just a longing. To find the start of the path. To a new world. Confession.
