I just assumed that the last part of this column about the death of these
dreams  ...

You meet a broker at Cafe Leopold. Or maybe have an espresso with “real
estate advisors” at the Taj at Apollo Bunder. Maybe a friend at the club

... were connected to the blasts. Opera House and Dadar West were blast
sites in this attack. The Taj and Cafe Leapod were sites of previous
 terrorist attacks.

Maybe i read too much into it. Sidin am i off base?
