Mumbai: Mumbai's elite were targetted and so was another Mumbai landmark, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Station.
The CST was one of the first locations of the attack but perhaps overshadowed in coverage because of the ongoing crisis at Taj Hotel, Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House.
The bullet ridden 60-year-old newspaper stall at the CST tells a tragic tale.
Chandrakant Tandel had worked at the stall for around 30 years and was just about to leave for home when terror struck on November 26. Tandel was killed in the attack.
"He was honest and very reliable. He was like a family member to us," says Nilima Johari, newspaper stall owner.
Even though Mumbai is now limping back to normalcy, the anger is palpable.
Unlike after terror attacks in the past when Mumbai bounced back with rock solid resilience, this time the aftermath of 26/11 is throwing a different story.
Mumbai is simmering with anger.
People who took part in a candle light protest on Sunday were angry and wanted to know was the government doing to ensure their safety.
Some even said that only politicians are safe in the country and not the common people while others blamed the Congress and BJP of indulging in blame game and accusing each other even as the common people are being killed in terror attacks.
Even youngsters are livid at government apathy.
"Politicians should not just look for votes but also look after people. I want to live in a safe India," says Pratham, a10-year-old boy.
And it's clear that a wounded and an angry Mumbai will take longer to heal.
