The attacks in India are being felt in Mumbai and in the Valley as well.

Restaurant owner Wilma Cambata was born in Mumbai and lived there for more than 20 years before coming to the Valley. However, she has four brothers and three sisters who still live there.

"It's devastating. It's very sad, because you don't know who is in that accident or what has happened," says Cambata.

Though her family lives in Mumbai, Cambata says chances are her siblings were far enough away from where the attacks took place.

She recalls a special memory of her and her brother working at the Oberoi Hotel, which was taken over by a gunman.

"My brother, he worked in one of the restaurants, and I worked outside of where the lobby is," says Cambata.

Sadly, this attack has not been the first incident that had Cambata worried about her family back home. She recalls a train bombing earlier this year, that nearly killed her sister in-law.

She says, "My sister in law just missed the train by two minutes, or she would have been in the bombing that took place."

Cambata says she's been glued to the television for the latest updates. She says she can't make sense of why anyone would take part in such a horrible act.

"It's like an eye for an eye. It doesn't solve anything. It just makes it worse. It makes it even worse," says Cambata.

She is hoping for peace in her native town following the tragedy.

In addition to the 82 deaths, about 120 people have been injured in the attacks.
