It has been said time and again in her various interviews that the only aim was to have fun and bring a smile to the fatigued commuter faces travelling via local trains. The dance was to celebrate the spirit of Mumbai. The date was just a co-incidence, which was attached to the whole affair by the media (social or otherwise).

Do those bloody idiots realize how easy it would be for someone to set of a bomb in the middle of that crowd and claim massive amounts of causalities? We already have enough vulnerable situations and places in this country for such attacks without these attention whores creating more.
If they have planed to do a dance , some terror element can just as easily plan to explode a bomb in the mid of the crowd that gathers. Then people would blame the police and the govt for it, not these people.
If they want to do something good, I would rather like to see them do it in a useful and quiet manner.
If these sort of people work for NGO's then its no wonder that these days our NGO's are filled with attention whores who only do something where they have chance of getting attention.
When you donate for a good cause, your left hand should not know what you have given with your right. If you work for a good cause, it might be good to let the world know what is being done, but you don't need to ensure that the whole world knows what you are doing. If you want to do something to boost the morale of the people, you don't need to be a public nuisance and a security risk for it.

And more such comments keep on coming.
According to your thoughts, all movie theaters/schools/railway stations/rallies/protest marches/beach outgoings, anything involving a crowd of people should be banned because there any terrorist can plant a bomb between them. Our daily life is filled with more dangers than that encountered by a simple flash mob ! :doh:

Plus it's a flash mob. Nobody outside the participants know when & where is it gonna happen, so it's not like a crowd of 10000 people will be waiting to see them. You'll get far more number of casualties if you detonate a bomb in a busy mall or a pub during weekends.

Why so serious? So sit home and do nothing? If we stayed home and did nothing, the terrorists would have done exactly what they wanted to do - instill fear and kill our spirit. Besides what are the odds of a terrorist being at that exact same place and exact same time. The idea of the flash mob was for it to be random and I don't believe any terrorist would be foolish enough as to just randomly attack people the moment they've formed a large enough group.
There are different ways to do good. This was their way of doing good and having fun, no need to be so critical cause they're doing it a different way.
Personally, I can't enjoy this senseless drama.
The moment that girl started wriggling, I felt nauseating.
It reminded me of hundred of lives lost, culprits still alive in different parts of globe.
If one call that dance is 'the spirit of Mumbai', I feel something is missing somewhere in humanity.
Pardon me for this negative post.

Guys, this doesn't seem to a topic to debate... just posting our views is enough rather than discussing on other persons views.. Read it and forget it..
Edit : Seems no one is stopping, so why should I

This sort of thing is not random at all. Its planned and rehearsed before its performed. The problem is that an anti social element who gets wind of it can easily make plans of his own. Since the people who should know about it (police and any other officials) are not informed about it at all, it would be easy for someone to utilize the chaos to their advantage. Alternatively lets put it another way. People are bashing the Delhi police for stopping a similar incident there. Lets say some terrorists copy the idea. They start dancing and the police doesn't stop them. A crowd gathers and they explode a bomb.
I agree there are multitude of ways to do good, but this is definitely not one of them. They created chaos and put a bunch of people at risk in numerous ways. Was this the only way they found to do some good? If their idea was to boost the morale of the people by performing a dance, why not take permission form due authorities and perform at a proper place and time?
Intent to do good is not the same thing as doing good. People may want to do good, but want they do towards that goal is not always necessarily good for the people and this is one of those things.
Planning something by ourselves is not enough when you want to do public events. You have to inform the authorities and get permits so that they too can plan for the same and the event is conducted in a controlled manner. Why do movie halls have security. Why do they keep Fire extinguishers? Isn't that planning? They don't simply put up a tent in any random place and screen a movie any time do they? Same for rock concerts or cricket matches. Let me ask you, would you like the idea of someone in a plane getting up from his seat mid air and start juggling fireballs because he had planned to provide the passengers with some entertainment?
Its become a fashion in our country to be careless and blame someone else when something goes wrong.

All those retards should be thrown in prison for a few days to knock some sense in their heads and make them realize that people are not mourned for or paid tribute to, who died such a tragic death, in such a manner. The horned up camera man should be taken to the nearest tree and lynched, for primarily focusing on women who had bouncing bosoms. What a stupid and lame thing to do at a public place, and that too at a crowded area. The smiles just irritated me. This was no tribute or salutation, more like an insult. Lame.

I think many people here are feeling more aggravated as the first post (or the source website) mentions this as a tribute to 26/11 which supposedly is not as per the organizers / performers. It seems to be mistake on the media house part to link this to 26/11.
May be i am wrong.

Thats a good point Mr.Singh.
Some part of media says it was a tribute, some say it wasnt. Somewhere the organiser had stated that "Nothing about this had an agenda. We just wanted to have fun"
If you( Mob- not you ) want to have fun then there are other places where you can dance or do whatever you like to have fun, go to Essel world, Water kingdom etc and have fun, but doing this in Public places by halting train services is just lame.. To be honest, many of my friends were there at that moment and they said "Sab ch*** thi, sab log ladkiyon ko dekhne may busy the" I hope Hindi for quoting is allowed in GT... If not, please delete it

They had the proper approval from the authorities . Police were informed and they were present at that time also.
Trains were given a 10 minute stoppage also .
Read the whole damn thing up.
I wont comment on people who think this is not a tribute to 26/11 because to each his own.
And one more thing , The fashion that is becoming in our country is that people bashing others for doing things and thinking that they are smart.

Seriously?
There are 20 times more people in that location every weekday. There is no need for terrorist organisation to plant an explosive to co-incide with things like this. This crowed is nothing as it was Sunday. I am pretty sure thats why they even picked this date.

what if someone would have just spread bomb scare , any if accident could have happened who would have been responsible for the same police? railway authorities ?

IMO it was just to gain publicity, the organizers (girl) were all rich people and wanted publicity which they got . It was like other countries are doing it so we will do it as well
It was been shown in all news channels for some days
