The much-sought after restaurants, patronised by the who's who from the country's corporate world to film industry and the political class, are now haunted by an eerie silence, waiting to tell the horrific story of what actually happened inside for 60 hours.
According to a few of the ambulance boys, who were rushed inside the hotel at regular intervals to bring out the injured security personnel and bodies of terrorists, "most of the guests whose bodies are still lying inside seem to have been killed while having their food."
The finely-built stairways that once greeted anyone who entered the hotel now bear the signs of the fierce encounter with "three bodies of the guests" lying there.
The super luxury brand shops, which operated from inside the hotel, once a favourite hunting ground for Mumbai's socialites, too stand a mute spectator to the mindless bloodshed.
No news came about the Taj Chambers, the room which had an envious collection of books exclusively for the hotel guests who could sit on the plush leather chairs and read a book while sipping fine scotch or smoking a cigar.
