Bloodshed...Diwali Gift for Delhi

Day was going good and had nothing much to work today as most of the people were in festive mood and more over it was a weekend, blore office was closed and we were working as usual...Big Boss left office at 2 and then I went out for lunch with a friend of mine…everything was fine..came back and were planning to have some fun in office as no boss around mastis are always good…Monday we are working so I planned for ethnic wear and dropped a mail to all saying that it’s a compulsion. But I had not taken permission from boss..so called him at his place…asked him abt a doubt and then very sweetly asked for celebrating the ethnic wear day..he agreed in one shot itself…it just took 1 mins time and I got the permission…then what we were all excited upon this…

To add to our enjoyment one of our colleague had got cards and we thought of playing it…vow mann we played flash…and it was very exciting as we were playing with money…needless to say that Lakshmi mata is little allergic to my name…in between everyone got the impression that I was winning but end result was lost 100 bucks…but the show was wonderful..we all participated…Monday planning to have tambola..and this time big boss will be invited for it..hope he doesn’t scold us for all this nautanki which I am coming up with and every one is supporting to…

At 5.30 p.m my colleague came to know abt the blasts in delhi..and informed us abt the same…we got worried..we winded up the game..and I rushed to catch the bus…no rick was ready to come to west Delhi and moreover they were asking 3 times of the usual fare…When I reached the bus stop, a group of police man scanned the bus I was supposed to take and then gave the permission for further movement…I sat inside was little worried abt my other friends..called them up and found that all were safe…stopped one colleague from gng to SN where bomb blast happened, she was not aware of it. Got many sms and calls from friends all over the country…boss from Bangalore also messaged me enquiring abt my well being. Reached south X at 7 which is again a busy market place and could have been the next target for bombers…so I took the very next bus which was damn crowded…and reached home safely…

The terrorists have ruined the festive mood of all…and they have brought the fear on every face..there was tension all over...the police patrolling was of no help..3 bomb blasts in a span of one hour is not a small thing…my prayers for ppl who died in the blasts and also for those who got injured...

City is on RED ALERT and i feel that there can be few more tomorrow...So guys and gals..take good care of yourself and pls avoid staying for long in busy/market places..

Got detailed report here

Here are few images from the the bomb blasts:
