" I WAS LISTENING TO THE FIRING AND I WAS HAPPY THAT I WAS NOT THERE AT THAT TIME AND I FEEL SAD FOR THE UNFORTUNATE THINGS HAPPENED AND ACCEPTANCE IS PART OF MY LIFE . AFTER AN YEAR, I WEAR BLACK BADGES IN MEMORY OF THOSE VICTIMS BUT I NEVER ASK THE COTERIE OF BUREAUCRATS ABOUT MY SECURITY AS ACCEPTANCE BECOME MY LIFE STYLE. AFTER ALL, I AM A TRUE INDIAN RIGHT FROM MY HEART"
A year passed.After the attack, the Taj hotel was resurrected within a month and Sivraj patil was compelled to resign but his inefficiency was never questioned and he was simply spared,providing cabinet status in another form.England team which has gone back canceling 2 ODI's came back and played the tests and the whole cricketing world appreciated their courage
Mumbaikar's showed their resilience and an advertisement of Taj group appeared in The telegraph on the eve of reopening-"I HAVE HELD MY GROUND AS HUMAN HISTORY UNFOLDED IN ITS TIMELESS PROCESSION OF LAUGHTER AND TEARS, COURAGE AND COWARDICE,GOOD AND EVIL.I WILL PREVAIL" AS SAID BY TAJ HOTEL.Candle light processions were held.Martyrs like Sandeep unnikrishnan were admired.etc., etc., A year later, again the nation in remembering the days of operation- wearing black badges , parliament observing silence in memory of those victims,a few people demanding for a war with Pakistan,media houses conducting surveys on common man's security and to my surprise around half of the people in metropolitan cities are feeling that they are secure but the situation is not secure.
Ironically, no journalist or any media house or common man has consistently asked for these reforms after an year of 26/11 attacks. Post-terrorist attack condition is same as that of previous conditions and if the condition like this ,I or you may the next victim of the terrorism .Raise the voice and ask for the constructive reforms.
