As of now, it has not been reported by any news paper / channel and is just an eyewitness account of things. Kindly dont panic and

Volunteer Needed Urgently


From LGurn1972@gmail.com
July 7, 2009


Hi,
I urgently require a volunteer to help. It is regarding a family member who is in a divorce case. The wife has alleged a case of cruelty against the husband. The court requires that a volunteer from a reputed NGO supervise the visits of the child (1year, 7months) and father. His parents too will be present. We live in Bandra west.

If anyone can help us or can guide us on this, please contact me on the email address given below.

LGurn1972@gmail.com
Thank you very much.
LG (Luz)

Physiotherapist Needed for 26/11 survivor Poonam Singh

Poonam Singh, a 26/11 survivor, received bullet wounds in both legs. She needs physiotherapy in order to walk comfortably again. She is just 34, she has young children to bring up. She lives in the slums at Vikhroli, and her room is right at the top of a hillock. This makes it difficult to bring her down everytime she needs to go for a physiotherapy session.

India Helps is looking out for a physiotherapist who would be willing to conduct weekly physiotherapy sessions at her residence, either pro bono or at a nominal charge. Do write in to India Helps if you could help out. They can be contacted at indiahelps@gmail.com.

You dont need an opportune time to call and tell them that you love the fact that they helped protect you and your city? do you...

Dont think twice... just call them up and let them know that you love them for what they have given our city.

TRAIN PLAY!

Local trains are the lifeline of Bombay. And a lot of metamorphosis in our city happens in trains. Many of us just go home to sleep. And spend most of our "awake time" in trains. What a perfect premise for "Awakening", isnt it?

Lets capitalize on this.

Join in. Let’s board in a train from Churchgate to Andheri... and on our way lets stand at different areas in the same compartment and lets read out our scripts aloud.

Do we have dare-devil people who would want to join in?

Here is a sample of the one I have planned to start next week.

The style would be like reading a testimonial with voice intonations and facial expressions.

Title: VOTE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE. (still in scripting stage)

(we will use antithesis here)

the sample script start is here...

Actor 1:

"I Will Not Vote Because... I REALLY Believe Terror Strikes Will Happen Again And EVERY Government Would Handle It Well" (emotion: smiles sarcastically.)

Actress2:

"I Will Not Vote Because... I am always Molested And Raped And I dont want to have my kind of minister in the government whom I BELIEVE will bring about change." (Emotion: Activistic)

Actress 3:

"I Will Not Vote Because... I Love Watching people Spitting and Shitting In Public Places In Public View... And I Don’t Want To Make The Government Accountable to Change That" (Emotion: Awful, Gory)

Actor 1:

"I Will Not Vote Because Trees Will Be Cut Anyways, Birds Will Die Anyways, I Don’t Want To See A Concerned Environment Minister On Top There"

Actor 2:

"I will not Vote Because I love I Love People Telling Me what To wear and What Not. What to see and What Not. I Love Being Ruled"

Actor 3:

I will not Vote Because, I am gay, yes, the Same Gay Who Is Extorted under the Pretext of the Archaic Law: Section 377, The Same Gay Guy Who Lives In The Closet, Faces Prejudice and Commits Suicide. I will Not Vote for a Minister Who Treats Me As Equal. "

Help Me... Add to the list...


To Join In: Contact me At +919833100340 or email gap.bridgeit@gmail.com. You could also subscribe to the google group at bridgethegaps@googlegroups.com


Actions Taken: Sheetal bhan has started with the script. have asked Haider to help out as well. Harish is busy canvessing and casting.

Hi All,
I have come across one of the youngest 26/11 victims. Vaishnavi, aged about 4mnths was only 15days old when her parents Samanya & Deepti were killed at the Gateway of India during the Mumbai mayhem.

She had stayed back at home with her caretaker-Reshma. Reshma, apparently din't know who to contact to find out the whereabouts of the other relatives of the deceased couple and kept the child with her.

She's been taking care of Vaishnavi since then & was in Hyd to meet a relative; when we came to know about all this. She works as a maid and is known to my maid in Hyd.

I have posted some pics of the baby and this woman here. The parents originally belonged to Gujrat, and had been staying at Virar area of Mumbai and were engaged in Sarees' business.

These are the only details we could get out of Reshma and Zubin along with us is taking it forward.

We urge you all to help us in whichever possible way to get the child united with her relatives, family.

HELP - A Free Health Library

Dear Blogdosts. I found

this worthwhile. Hope you do, too.

HELP - the Health Education Library for People, India's first Consumer Health Education Resource Center , and one of the world's largest consumer health libraries ( as determined by the Medical Library Association , USA ) was established in 1997 to empower people by providing them with the information they need to promote their health , and prevent and treat medical problems in the family in partnership with their doctor. We are a registered charitable trust and a non-profit organisation.
We offer the following facilities:

1. Airconditioned reading rooms, with a seating capacity for 20-25 people;
2. An upto date collection of over 5000 consumer health books, 10000 pamphlets, and many magazines and newsletters
3. Audiovisual educational media, including over 600 videotapes. Videos can be viewed in privacy in the library
4. Computer software , including over 30 CD-ROMs on all health and medical topics
5. Photocopying facilities, at Re 1 a page
6. A lecture hall ( seating capacity of over 70 people) with a big-screen projector which we give free to NGOs for health talks.

We have access to information on every health and medical topic under the sun - explained in terms which the layperson can understand.
HELP has become a prototype of the modern digital library. Our website athttp://www.healthlibrary.com is India's leading health portal, and receives over half a million hits a month !
We are a public library - everyone is welcome ! Entry to HELP is free !
We are open Monday through Saturday, from 10 am to 6.30 pm. For those unable to come personally to the library, we also answer questions by post or e-mail. This is an innovative service called MISS-HELP ( Medical Information Search Services from HELP ) which allows us to provide medical information to users from all over India .

We feel patients are the largest untapped healthcare resource and that Information Therapy is Powerful Medicine !

We help patients save money on medical care by
1. Promoting SelfCare and helping them to do as much for themselves as they can
2. Helping them with Evidence-Based Guidelines , so that they can ask for the right medical treatment that they need - no more and no less
3. Helping them with Veto Power, so they can say No to medical care they don’t need, thus preventing overtesting and unnecessary surgery .

Please do come and visit HELP !

Our focus areas now are:
1. encouraging health insurance companies to invest in patient education
2. advocating information therapy
3. setting up a national network of patient education centers
4. developing patient educational materials in Indian languages for the web

Ebullient Discussion on Terror Management @ SIES, Nerul

Attended a special session on "Terror Management" at SIES management school as one of the panelists bringing to the fore the effectiveness of new media. The students were spirited, and the discussion- highpowered. Would follow up with the institute to help the wonderful bunch of students from thought and talk to effective action. And I sincerely wish other instiitutes follow suit and engage in similar activities to give students a platform to speak up, charter a plan and execute it.

I spoke a little nervily towards the end of the discussion, overwhelmed that I was by emotions, hope I managed to walk out without offending anybody?

Pray For Sheru! Salute Sheru the HERO

According to the recent high court ruling... all NUISANCE stray dogs will be killed. A dog barking incessantly, would amount to "nuisance". (Are we making a grave mistake?)

When Terrorist Ajmal rammed in to CST and fired indiscriminately; unable to bear the sound of the bullet shots, even dogs ran off CST station. Sheru stood there and barked, barked and barked... even after being hit by bullets. He is now recuperating in the ICU of the animal hospital, being treated for the bullets that he braved.


Join me in my prayers for him. He has done a lot for humankind, that humans would also be scared to.


But with the recent ruling on culling of strays.. I wonder though..

what if sheru is picked up by BMC to be culled one day for barking?

(Hu)ManKind!... (Hu)Man are we.. But how kind?

I recollect that I did receive a call (via Mumbai Terror Helpline) by some kind soul who asked me for the number of  NGOs  for stray dogs and narrated the story of a stray dog screaming at the terrorist until he was shot by the rascal. I donot remember who the kind soul was and I have not stored the number. If you are the person. Please call me, such noble work should be communicated to more people through the media. Please dont shy. You set an example of empathy. Please come out and inspire us.

“EQUIPPED TO HEAL” Workshop: a MUST-ATTEND for all those who want to help


What do you do when you see an injured person?

Run for the doctor… Panic…??? Isn't it?

You could do much more… by providing emergency first aid.

Well, millions of us who watched the carnage on TV were helpless and wanted to do something.

Here is a chance. Make best of it

ACTIVITY #01: EMERGENCY FIRST AID WORKSHOP

Dr. Desai from ARC INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES will give us a live demonstration on first aid and CPR.

By getting trained in providing First Aid you will be able to Act Promptly and help victims with emergency first aid whenever there is any calamity. If hospitals get crowded and short of staff. You could fill in for providing very basic first aid that doesn't require a medical degree but know-how, agility and empathy.


ACTIVITY# 02: ANIMAL ANGELS WORKSHOP

Special Session with Animal Angels: a group that makes use of the power of animals to heal emotional scars and also to add cheer to our lives.


Animal Angels Foundation is offering Animal Assisted Activity for those affected by the Mumbai Terror Blasts and for those who wish to know about and use the healing effect of animals to assist other people.

Animal Assisted Therapy is the use of trained therapy animals in counseling. Animal Angels has a team of psychologists and counselors who along with trained therapy animals will help the trauma victims to overcome post trauma stress.

How will attendee benefit?

A comforting hug from a dog is one way of letting out your pent up stress. This is called Animal Assisted Therapy. Animals are unconditional and their touch is soothing. Most of the time people in trauma or in a state of shock don't want to talk as they re experience the trauma. With animals you do not need to talk. Even if you hug the therapy dog, it provides you immense comfort and reassurance. It also helps in catharsis or venting out of emotions. A person may cry on hugging the dog as it releases the emotions locked up inside. An animal will not judge you for what you do or say, hence providing a very open environment to express oneself.

Much cant be said… Witness and Experience the magic unfold. Participate!

When: Sunday, 21 December 2008
At: 8:00 am – 02:00 pm
Venue: Moot court, Floor#2, National College {GJ Advani Law College}, Bandra, Bombay.
How to reach: National College is located at 20 minutes walkable distance from Bandra Station (West), you could rick it down from the station. If you are Coming by road: the institute is located at linking road, Bandra.
Is there a cost attached for these workshop: Yes, we need a hug. Remember to give that us before you leave. And be present for both the workshops.

Next Step?

Our friend from Bombay Clicks and Mam Movies would help us get a meeting with the police commissioner. So that we could tell him about the fact that we will be there to help the police in times of adversity by providing quick medical assistance.

I would be speaking to my media friends and will ask them to inform us of any tragic incidence that needs our assistance.

I would just give my number to them and would send chain sms's to all in the group.


We shall call this group "Group All Proactive" or GAP.

Voice Your Views To Millions Through The Media

We can feel the wrath against certain sections of the media that have reported the terror attacks at TAJ live which inturn couldve resulted in the terrorists receiving information, and further sabotaging the efforts. But besides criticism we need to understand that they are a very important tool to dispense information.
Just a few minutes ago, I got a call from a leading news channel who wanted to give mumbai a platform to speak. If you want to air your views. Just leave a comment here with your email. You could also send me an sms at +91 9833100340.

(The media professional has requested me to not share the name of the TV channel as they are still in the planning stage)

St. George and GT Hospital Updates.

A volunteer friend Gaurav, spoke to both the hospitals..

GT hospital: patients are going to be shifted to JJ. They said that they have already received a lot of help.

St George: They are overstocked. as well.


JJ: Overstocked...

Empathy flows. (Rather Overflows!)

Animal Angels! Offer to Help

Animals have a great power to heal wounds. I called up Minal from the organization following a common a comment on this blog. She would be happy to help. I have received a lot of calls from those who sounded psychologically affected (adversely), but were not so open for psychological help. we need to take help to them.

Thanks to the help offered by Gaurav from Wadala, we are speaking to educational institutes in the dadar/matunga area for their help. If they could give us some space in their premises to carry out therapy programmes., it will be wonderful. Do you know of someone in this area??? if you do, please let us know.

Visit to JJ

am Visiting JJ hospital NOW to find out personally if there is any help that we could offer. Will post once I return. Please keep your eye balls glued to this space.

back from the hospital...
UPDATES:
VOLUNTEERS: People in ward 11 confirmed that they have received a good response and many people have come and offered help.

MONETARY: have received many requests from NRIs who want to help. Tomorrow I am meeting Dr. Tayde at 11

FRUITS: people who have visited the hospital to help. One of the people I spoke to said "SMS mila tha unko"... So all you guys and gals who have sent chain mails/sms's... Thank You.. I will update you if any other help is needed.

(If at all you still happen to visit the hospital with a basket of fruits, i request you to give it to other patients who are needy but not necessarily terror victims)

BLOOD DONATION: the hospital is overstocked. The Doctor will call me if there is a need and I will update the blog then.

MEDIA MAGIC:Following (NDTV)Shai Venkataraman's sensitive coverage of the life of teh youngest terror survivor "sheetal"(a 3 month old child) the hospital has received a very good response from donors who offered financial assistance. I urge you to NOT simply turn anti-media, media is a powerful tool to incite change, in present times. I opine that we should encourage them with the same energy as we condemn them.

SALUTE YOU SHAI. (shai@ndtv.com)

Help Needed at JJ Hospital!

Dear Bombay,

Thanks for rising to help in this time of distress.

Patients at JJ hospital need help.

HOW CAN YOU HELP: The patients need Fruits, Biscuits, Volunteers to help them fill forms.

An earnest request: Please don't crowd the place. It is a Hospital. Do your bit and leave.

Thanks Shai Venkataraman (NDTV) for your sensitive reporting and for calling me to let me know what assistance is needed now at JJ. God Bless you.

Post trauma Counseling: Masina Hospital

Masina Hospital has activated a 24-hour helpline number for distress callers.

Now, that the initial and acute shock has passed, the post-terror trauma will start sinking in. In the coming days they expect a large number of callers struggling to cope up. Their psychiatrists are already handling calls from foreigners, youngsters and parents of disturbed school children. Most of their callers are in the age group of 25-30. They are utterly traumatized, nervous, often in a state of denial. The symptoms of post-terror trauma are usually numbness, guilt, refusal to make an eye contact, refusal to speak to even loved ones and so on.

Masina Hospital - 24*7 free helpline number: 022-64507171

Trauma healing workshop

A three-day trauma healing workshop for citizens who want to help people affected by the recent terror attacks.

Missing: Mr. Rajeev Saraswat

an email that i received:

Thank you for your coverage on-line on the horrendous attacks in
Mumbai

I am concerned about a missing relative. My uncle Mr Rajeev Saraswat (aged 50) is still missing. He was in the Taj on the fourth floor attending a training session at the hotel organised by his employers Hindustan Petroleum.

We know that he was injured - he was wounded in one hand from gunfire, but he has not made any contact since Thursday morning. His cell phone is not being answered, and though we are told by the Taj that he was
taken away and sent to hospital, no-one knows that with certainty and no-one appears able to trace him at present.

His name does not appear anywhere on the lists of the wounded, and none of the hospitals have him registered as being admitted. Even the twitter blogs - as brilliant as they are - do not have his name anywhere and I need help finding him urgently.

We are very concerned about him - I am based in the UK and cannot get any useful information. Are you able to help?

This is on my own behalf and on behalf of all those relatives dealing with the double trauma of this appalling attack as well as lack of news on a missing dear relative.

Please help!



With Profound Grief, I have to inform that we have received an email to confirm. We have Lost Mr.Rajeev Saraswat forever He was hit during the cross firing, R.I.P.

    Media, Please Leave Them Alone!

    Good News! Guests in Trident/Taj is being Evacuated.
    I applaud the media for being sensitive in this time of crisis. I request all media persons to maintain their calm and resist their temptation to speak to the hostages. Please understand that they must be really tensed and worked up. They would speak to the media, I am certain, there would be some people who would like to speak to the media. They would come out. Please. Please. Please. Have Patience.

    UPDATE

    Greek millionaire Andreas Liveras was one of those shot dead in the Taj Hotel. Owner of Liveras Yacht, which owns and charters luxury yachts, Andreas had come to Mumbai to scout for business opportunities. His decision to stay at the Taj was influenced by his fondness for the food served at the hotel. French nuclear scientist George Vendryas was another notable person who was staying at the hotel. Vendryas and his wife were in Mumbai to attend a three-day conference of the Indian Nuclear Society which began on November 24. reactor and won the It was also a close shave for Cricket Australia lawyer Dean Kino and BCCI internal auditor P V Srinivasan who were guests at the Taj on Wednesday evening. . In fact, Kino had to endure torrid times. "Yes. He was actually fired at by the terrorists, but some brave fire brigade officers rescued him,'' BCCI's Ratnakar Shetty said. Three World Bank officials, who were in the city to monitor projects, were detained at the Taj and Oberoi hotels. Gaurav Joshi, R S Phatak and Satya Mishra were part of a larger bank team which was in the city for a few days. While the rest of the team, including MUTP project leader Hubert Nove Josserand, left earlier, the three stayed behind. Suhel Seth, CEO of Equus Advertising, had a providential escape. "I had stepped out to attend a wedding and on my way back to the Taj, I received a message from hotel employees saying there was a law and order problem and I should not go back to the hotel. I diverted my car to The Taj President at Cuffe Parade. I am really grateful to Taj authorities for informing me on time.''

    Israeli Commandoes In Mumbai

    Israeli commandoes have flown in to mumbai to rescue israeli nationals from the nariman house.Israeli commandoes who are known to be very good at handling such kind of situations have been pressed into action immediately.

    Taj Combat Over

    The army has finally concluded its final assault on the terrorists stationed inside the taj hotel at the gateway of india.The army has got the better off the terrorists.OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF THE DEATH TOLL IS AWAITED.

    Things Are Getting Calmer.

    thats the latest that i hear from my journo friends.

    Fuck resilience. We Need Answers.

    How the hell did these terrorists enter from the seas. ? can anyone enter like that, without being seen? WAO. (pun intended)How on earth did they walk so calmly with arms and that too, arm in arm?. Why did we buggers see them and not do anything… ? Did we think that the guns are toys from leo mattel?

    We believe that Guests are god… don’t we… god damn id.

    See their state, see them travel from the 5 star residence to the roofless sky…

    Response to the stimuli Or reaction only when there is action…. We will not act… only react, isn’t it… How many bomb blasts, how many deaths, how many blemishes would it take for us to preempt terror… especially when there has been a spate of terror attacks? When will we wake from our sleep and when we will get up and scream.

    We have been far too silent… and our act of cowardice and numbness is called “resilience”


    I just saw an interview of Mr. prime Minister, who was reading a speech drafted by his secretary. He didn’t seem to believe in even one word or syllable of what he said. And would have thios been averted if it was some other politician like say an advani.…. NO. Terrorists have no religion.. And if there is something that politicious RELIGIOSLY work for, that is Poll agenda and personal propaganda. Does anything else matter?. I( hear that Advani and Manmohan singh are coming to Mumbai. WHY! Will they get the dead alive… ? will they change take some path breaking action… ?(But, There are no paths left now) Or do you want to tell us “the situation is under control< people are safe” WE are NOT safe… and you ministers will come for your show, and some freaking fools will get fooled and believe you care. (And what kind of people are these who get fooled… With no spine of their own)Politicions.

    Politicos, We don’t want you to come to Bombay. We don’t need you. We can manage ourselves. You would come take a 1000 people for your security and leisure.

    Be where you are.You will definitely get channels and papers to interview… Probably you could do a chroma shoot and then replace the backdrop to Marine Lines or Gateway of India. It is not about which politicion.. It is about attituude that forms the DNA of any Politician.

    And No.,.. don’t feel sorry.

    For that’s what we have been doing for long. Get up. Ask for real answers. Speak up Mumbai. Speak up Bombay. Let’s help our people, and our guests who came here to our beloved country.


    I sweared that I will shed no tear until I wiped a hundred. But I cant help it.My heart is heavy. And I am in a pool of tears. Not because I fear or think that worst is yet to come. But Because…. I want to vent it out… and start a fresh to move on, and pick another call of distress. To speak hope and to say to myself. Your Loved one is safe. Your Loved one is safe. Your loved one is safe.
