9/11 was huge for USA and the world. Befitting 21st century, it also was TVgenic. It created a lot of shock and awe.
Americans felt insecure and sought safety. They made more love in weeks following that than ever.
Outside bedrooms, it created a sense of brotherhood in that otherwise deeply divided nation - precisely for two months!
We in India go through similar roller-coaster rides with our feelings. We need to remember teachings of our poet-saints when best-before date is reached.
