Mumbai Proves A Point

And in the middle of the excitement and fervour of the victory, let us not lose sight of one very important aspect... just a few months back, barely a few meters from the Wankhede, Mumbai was brutally assaulted by a band of 10 terrorists focussed on hurting the city and scarring its reputation and spirit forever. The city burned, the people bled and cried in pain and horror.

But yesterday, this city (and the country!) once again rose to the occasion, hosting a superb tournament, safe and secure for millions of Indians and guests alike. And what can be a better statement than seeing the biggest of the big, Rahul and Sonia, and scores of celebrities, sitting among the common people, soaking in the atmosphere, free from the iron clad security of the black cats?

Go India Go! The world is truly at your feet! De Ghumake! Bleed Blue!
