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.
