Bangalore - Shaken but not scared...

One of the saddest days in the history of Bangalore. July 25th, 2008.
Nine serial low intensity bomb blasts rocking the Garden city !!

The news came like a bolt from the blue around 1:30 pm. My brother calls me up & says.. "hey.. dont you know what has happened.. there are serial blasts hapeening in & around Madivala checkpost". At first I thought, he is fooling around with me. I asked "Is it a joke or something??"
Then realized that the unthinkable did happen. It continued to happen till 2:30 pm at various other places in the city & one around 5:30pm. Thew news spread like a wild fire in a few minutes once the first few blasts occured.

I was in the office when I got this news ! I was quite shaken up by hearing such a news.
