Tania Kishore Jaleel

Mumbai, Nov. 28 Leopold Café in Mumbai’s busy Colaba causeway epitomises the city’s resilience in more ways than one.

Leo’s, as it is popularly called, was the starting point for the 48-hour long terror attack, which is still continuing at the time of going to press. The otherwise bustling place has bloodstains and bullet marks on its walls, a grim reminder of the horror.

Mr Farhang S. Jehani is undeterred. The joint owner of Leo’s said despite the severe damage, it would take just about two days for him to reopen the restaurant once the situation is under control.

“I am slightly puzzled by what is happening in the city. Tables have been destroyed and window panes ruined but we will back on our feet soon,” he said. Leo’s is not covered by insurance and as a despondent Mr Jehani put it, “We are not insured for a terrorist attack!”
