I was surprised because the news channel which show insane news as how Deepika and Rabhir are engaged or Shahrukh and Aamir Khan had war of words, not one channel remembered the day. Nor the Shiv Sena, Nor the Congress and Nor the MNS which claim to own Mumbai remembered the day. I searched the news paper but I completely missed the news or even a mention of the day.

But we do remember 9/11 every year!

Still a long way for justice!

Thanks all for your comments.

Yeda - well, till the D man is out there, justice wouldn't have completely been done.

Punds - Good observation man, I noticed that too. Even in the press, only the Times of India covered it properly. Ironic, isn't it?

Avid - Thanks for the wishes.
