Spirit of Mumbai = Cliche?

Not even a week has passed since the triple blasts that rocked Mumbai on 13th July took place, and we already seem to have forgotten it. Every year, a series of blasts take place in Mumbai, and within a couple of hours, we find ourselves out of it and back to our routine lives. I want to ask you all one thing - do you think owing to the frequent blasts and using the term 'Spirit of Mumbai' too often, it'll become a cliche?
I think so. Because I know it will. The Spirit of Mumbai will no more remain what it actually stands for. It will be one more of those "I can't live without you Tina" which every predictable Bollywood romantic movie has towards its climax. And yes, the SPIRIT of Mumbai stands for something really important and close to every resident of this city, the world's best city.
Guys, it is all up to us now. Either we should do whatever we can do in our capacity to make our city 'unbreakable' or else let the blasts continue every year, thus making the 'Spirit of Mumbai' a cliched term in a couple of years to come.
