Again, and again
Somebody stop me!
This time, it was twenty metres away. Claymore, they later told us. The shrapnel opens a small toothy grin in the window above my head (oh, did I mention they were shatter-proof?)
Then, the firing. Yell at my team to get away from the windows. Just get the hell back into the corridor. AK-56 assault rifles, a few together, sound like the movies tell you they're supposed to. The firing stops. I risk a peek from behind a pillar. The target steps out, gets into a less damaged car, and zips away. It's been all of a few seconds.
They pick up the pellets, from the floor, from inside someone's car. Little round things, thrown around by the Claymore.
Some pellets not so lucky. Embedded into a skull here, a heart there. Their journey has come full circle.
Looking forward to idyllic and tranquil Bombay next week.

Dude! Dude! I knew finance could be high risk but this is absurd!
Keep it together.
Wow, that sounds like the ideal place to be in...when are you getting out of that place?
