 (1/9) [9:20 PM, CST]

“I was peacefully setting up my stall at CST that night– it was an ordinary Wednesday.

Suddenly I heard a shot from a distance; it was as if there was a short circuit. So I got out to check; I stood on a stool to get a better view. The first thing I saw was a police officer crawling towards other passengers and telling them to run.

The guy in the stall next to me said that people are firing– I froze. I fell to the floor. After that I saw a mother clutching her baby and running– they shot the child first and then the mother– I went completely numb; that sight still haunts me.

The firing then came closer to our stalls– they shot at my door and then a bullet pierced my shoulder; I didn’t make a sound. I just held my breath and continued to lay on the floor. After about 27-28 minutes when the firing stopped, I finally got out of my stall. 2 other shop owners were with me.

I’ll never forget that sight there were bodies everywhere, a few injured people were still alive and bleeding; we started putting them in cars and handcarts to take them to the hospital. We found more passengers hiding in different parts of the station they didn’t know exit points; I showed them the exit and asked them to run.

But I lost 3 of my friends that night the man who had a bookstore on the opposite platform, the jhadu wala who kept this station clean and the TC chacha.

But I still come back here to work everyday I’ve kept the bullet marks from that night inside my stall to remember.

The fear is still there, but honestly, so is the regret. There was a point where Kasab and Ismail were just 5 feet away from me if I had a pistol I could have shot them and ended it right there. But their carnage had just begun.”  #ChabbisGyara

(2/9) [9:40 PM, Leopold Cafe]

“I was on night duty at Colaba Wadi that night. Around 9:20 we got a message on the wireless that there’s some ‘gadbad’ happening at Leopold. My initial hunch was that it was to do with the fact that there was an India-England cricket match that night. We’d won, so I thought people were bursting crackers and creating some ruckus. So 4 of us cops made our way to Leopold.

Outside Leopold, people were running helter skelter. There, I saw the bodies of 2 foreigners lying at the entrance. I couldn’t believe my eyes there was smoke everywhere and I could hear people wailing in pain. I had my gun handy, I stepped out of the back of the van. I’d put one foot on the ground when they opened the first round of fire, a bullet grazed my shoulder; a second bullet pierced my right palm I fell to the ground.

As I lay there, all I could hear was firing, screaming and then an eerie silence. Before any of us could even process what was happening they’d disappeared in a cloud of smoke and were headed towards the Taj.

As I was being driven to the hospital, I prayed hard. Not for myself, but for my city I knew this was no ordinary attack.”
