“On November 26, 2008, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel stood at the center of a tragic terrorist attack. In the heavy days that followed, my social work colleagues and I provided counseling and support to grieving families. Returning a decade later to stand before the Gateway of India and the Taj Palace Hotel, I felt immense awe‚ quiet salute to Mumbai's unbreakable resilience.”
