>Fixed income analyst Laura Oh, 25, is in Mumbai on a business trip. Currently at a 5-star hotel, she was staying in the Colaba just two weeks ago.

She gives AsiaOne an account of her experience in an IM interview:

"I heard about it when I was at the business centre. My colleague came down to tell us

"He got a call from our Indian colleagues. They were stuck in office (and) couldn't go back because the train stations (were) closed.

"Then we went back to the room and watched the news... till 1+am.

"Then I fell asleep.

"Not much to say for us as we were not there. But sad because I like Colaba and we were there 2 weeks ago!

"Leopold my fav cafe.

"I feel pretty safe though our hotel doesn't seem to have increased security!?!

"And (I) heard some terrorists are still on the loose."
