Mumbai's resilience: Cure or Curses?
The stock exchange, the Air India Building, the hole in the road where the bus blew up, the Udipi restaurant, the huts outside the Passport Office. All of it is back the way it was. It seems like nothing ever happened.

In private, Karunanidhi was a shaken man. A series of full-page advertisements released by the DMK in newspapers on the eve of the first phase of polling on February 16 sought to lay the blame for the blasts at the door of communalists.
