After finishing a casual phone call with my mother at 2:15 PM, I opened up NDTV’s website to catch-up with afternoon news. I couldn’t believe my eyes to see big,bold,black letters which read “FLASH : SERIAL BOMB BLASTS IN BANGALORE”. By the time I informed my family about my safe state, panic has set inside the office. Almost everybody was on phone finding about their friends, spouce, children, parents and informing that they are safe. Upon reading the news further, I leant that all of them were low intensity blasts, primarily aimed to threaten people. Started off from office early (at 3:30) to avoid traffic jams caused due to panic. The traffic was normal and the city is very much functioning except the affected areas.
I have been living in this city for the past 7 years and it always provided me ‘home-away-from-home’ feeling. Without any question, I have developed a emotional bonding with this place and it feels really bad when terror has struck the city. Its not as bad as Mumbai blasts, but it had left panic in the mind of Bangaloreans for sure.
The ‘Garden city’ will no longer be the same.
I’m very much upset 🙁 but still some of IT guys still prefer to continue there jobs there…
I can accept with the experienced people that ” generally they will tell need exposure”
But still for fresher also… the bangalore is dream city to settle.. y…[for IT or climate or for terrorism… ;))
