There are at least 3 people from my company staying at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai right now. Two of them were in the lift standing next to the Japanese businessman when he got shot. I cannot even begin to imagine how I would react if I was to find myself in that kind of situation.

Not entirely true. Someone did pull a gun on me once. And it wasn’t someone I knew. And he wasn’t joking. But I gambled that he wasn’t going to use it. And he didn’t.

Still … imagine, standing there, nowhere to turn, nowhere to run, the guy next to you gets shot, I’m relatively certain I’d need new pants after that.
