dilli rocks!!

Wanted to write something last saturday and thought about putting up a post that night, but my thought process was interrupted by the Serial blasts that rocked Delhi that evening... At 6.30pm me and my entire family was glued to the TV watching horrific images of the blasts that ripped across 5 places in New Delhi..there was blood on the streets, injured people, dead bodies on the streets of Delhi being beamed on TV channels all across the country...

The one thing that moved all of us was the amazing solidarity shown by the people of this city when it came to managing the situation. The security agencies took control swiftly, the injured were moved to the hospitals as fast they could be, all the important markets in New Delhi were evacuated and search for more bombs began..Soon 5 more live bombs were diffused in and around Connaught Place. The NSG (the elitest force in the country) took over and defused the bombs, collected the forensic samples from the bomb sites for further analysis.

I had booked tickets to go for an 11.30pm show with my friends but had to cancel because of the security situation, hopefully i will go this week sometime...

The next day morning, New Delhi was back to normal, everyone was out on the street, the markets where the blasts had occured had opened shops again, everyone was standing shoulder to shoulder, ready to face yet another day and not to bend to the threat of terror.

Dilli dilwalon ki...Tujhe salaam

mav: cowards is what I say about those that take lives of innocent people. They have no regard for life.

That was a terrible act. I just don't get it. I don't understand it...Humans can be so hateful and so very evil.

Ciao my friend. I'm glad you are safe but so very sorry others dies and were injured. :(

what happened in Del was terrifying and sickening. GOD bless with the families who lost their loved ones and bring hardest of punishment to those who planned it, did it and the ones who let this happen.

subdued reaction, may be, but then aint we used to let it happen, get on and then again see it happen...
