The 26/11 cold-blooded attack touched the world making strong global condemnation against the ruthless Islamic terrorists raising voice against the evil and not considering it as water under the bridge situation. Many civilians became heroes saving the lives of the unrecognized. The love for the nation and the sacrifices made by the unshielded heroes who faded away are remembered not just on this particular day but remained in the very heart of an India.

We may not bring back the lost lives; may not set back the wreckage caused by the devilish attacks; may not bring back the happy families or revert back the laughs on the faces a minute back before the firing and explosions, but never forget the Indian blood who sacrificed for many lives of Mumbaikars and Indians.
10 years since the 26/11 attack, we lit the light of remembrance to our patriotic heroes and families involved in rescue operations. Saluting the army who took bullets unarmed rescuing the people and common man for acting as brave of the bravest in the rescue mission.
