Mumbai:
On November 26, 2008, Kasab and his partner gunned down 58 people at the Chhatrapti Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station.
The station now has a memorial for the brave policemen, who died battling terrorists, and a lone woman, Harkabai Solanki.
A sweeper at CST for more than 30 years, Harkabai was killed on duty. She was the mainstay of her family. Her job and her house have gone to her youngest son Rajesh.
''This parrot was my mother's favourite. She used to feed him and bathe him,'' says Rajesh. ''Everyday I go to the platform where she was shot and pay my respects. I am not scared, but my heart burns for my mother,'' he adds.
An hour away on the suburban rail network, in Vikhroli, we meet the Singhs.
Poonam and her son Sachin, then only six, were hit by a bullet each.
''I broke a bone in my hand. My grandfather had gone to buy tickets when the firing began. He took my mother to the hospital and my brother carried me. Everything was ripped apart,'' says Sachin Singh.
''I wondered why God wanted my child to suffer. Watching Sachin made me cry. For one year, he could not go to school,'' says Poonam Singh.
Twenty-three-year-old Mukesh Jadhav, a Home Guard, was on duty that night. He was shot, while trying to warn commuters.
He dragged himself to the police booth to alert the cops before collapsing.
''He wanted to do something for the country since childhood. Even after he joined the Home Guard, he wanted to join the military, but they found him too short. He told his friends later, I will achieve something big,'' Santosh Jadhav, Mukesh's brother.
