What happened at that time was really a tragedy. Though I wasn't even born during those years, but what my parents told me about this incident certainly made me feel depressed and shocked.

I recall that night distinctly. We were scheduled to travel through that area around the time the tragedy happened.

The value of ife doesn't mean a thing to people unles it is their own or theirs.

rishabh the more shocking thing is that even after 25 years have passed not a single person has gone to jail for the crime...

very true sb!

the meaning of loss of life has reduced to the announcement of a compensation which never reaches to the victim and we all move on with our lives...

I feel a little sad that the only reason people outside India have heard of Bhopal at all is b'coz of this tragedy. I would have much preferred if my city remained just another anonymous city of India...
