I suffer from short term memory loss. I vaguely remember 26th Nov. Some gunshots in CST, Leopold's, Nariman, Taj and Oberoi. Some dead and some alive. Then again, I can recall just a few glimpses of the 3rd Dec protest at the Gateway. A 35-something lady telling me not to forget anything. A 40-something man holding the Indian flag and yelling at everyone to come back on the 1st month anniversary. I can still hear his hoarse voice.
I was there at the Gateway on the 26th Dec, one month after the Mumbai attacks. I was one of the 30 odd fools, all of whom collectively suffer from short term memory loss, given the case that all of us forgot we were Indians and that at the end of the day, "khaana-peena-sona" is what matters the most for us.

On the 3rd Dec, as I still remember, albeit my mental condition, there were around 10-20 groups or organizations, all claiming to be working to bring the administration to books. Only one turned up a month later at the gateway.
Jaago Mumbai or Jaago India, they were not sure on the name.Its okie though, names really don't matter. When Jaish = Lashkar = Jamaat = ISI = Jihad, I don't care if Jaago India = Jaago Mumbai. At least they said they are trying to create an umbrella organization to support all individuals and groups fighting terrorism.

I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Aamir Khan in making me so aware of STM. Or was it Dyslexia? Oh Memory loss at it again!!!
