The outrage exemplified by shrill cries of "Hang Kasab" and "Death to Kasab" have given way to solemn acceptance of the tragedy despite an enduring sense of collective bereavement weakened in intensity with time.
This year again Mumbaikars will pay homage to their dead with prayer meetings, candle light vigils, a smart parade by the police force and renewed pledge to fight terror in the same undying spirit that saw it rise back to feet the morning after the 26/11 assault that sought to bring it down on the knees.
