On January 2, 2016, when the euphoria of a new beginning was still fresh, and when most were still sending out New Year wishes, it all came to a shocking halt in a flash. At least six heavily armed terrorists dressed in Indian Army uniforms, who had infiltrated the high-security perimeter a day before, attacked the air base at Pathankot. It was one of the deadliest terror attacks that year and claimed the lives of seven security personnel. It shook the country and then we shook it off, laughing at memes or wrapping our heads around an unrecognisably gracious Donald Trump at his inaugural presidential speech in the US.
