She was 26 years old. And she had gone to CST to meet a friend. A bright bubbly cheerful girl. Meetu Asrani. The Nomad and I visited her home yesterday in Kandivali's Charkop area. We were welcomed by her parents, stoic in the grief, more composed than we were. The family is relatively comfortable and does not need any financial support as we could surmise. All that we could help out with was the nitty gritties of following up on the claims which had been filed since the parents are too aged to do the running around. Meetu's brother works with a private company and has just resumed work.
We have taken down the details and will keep you posted on the progress.

Meetu lost her life at Cafe Leopold.
She was with me and my boyfriend. We were all laying close together under the table when she was hit. Meetu left us immediately and did not suffer pain, I know because I was holding her hand.
She was with friends who cared about her.
Meetus family was informed as soon as I was able to reach them.
My boyfriend was discharged from hospital Dec. 16.
Sunday Dec. 21st. we went to Leopold and left a rose by our table. A rose for Meetu.
We left Mumbai next morning.
Bless Meetus family and all who loved her.
I'm so, so sorry...

Hey Line,
Thank you for your post.
Meetu was a very dear friend of mine and like many of her other close friends who loved her, its been a very difficult to know that she is not with us anymore. Wherever meetu is right now i am sure she knows how much we miss her.
When i last visited india in 2007, she took me to Cafe Leopold and thats the only time i have ever been there.
I would always miss my dear friend.
