How Some of Us Deal With Terror

People pray at a special prayer service held at the Hindu Temple Society of North America for the victims of the terrorist attack in Mumbai that took place yesterday.

For the past few days, I have been preparing lists something I tend to avoid. And yes I have been making more blog entries. This seems to be working for me--- creating order during the chaotic times is one way. Making lists to share with others seems to make sense. Better yet, if I could draw a flowchart as I would have done in my previous lifetimes would make even more sense. But, perhaps once I completed the flowchart, a diagram, a time line, questions would still remain unanswered or lead me to ask more and different questions.

Given below is a list of various articles as to reactions in response to Mumbai's terrorist attacks, their 26/11 as in November 26th.
