I am still in shock over what happened today! Namma Bengaluru... a calm, peaceful city turned IT hub turned terror-target. I got the news out of the blues at 3.30pm today, about the same time my colleague pinged me informing about the blasts. At first, it sounded too unreal, could this really be happened? Then, as reality sunk in, a miled dose of panic soon followed. My office is in Manipal Centre, a "good" target as any other. We at office took a call under 10 minutes to shut shop for the day and on my way I was. Thankfully, the route to my house was not choked for once!
I cant tell you how heartbreaking this is... here you are worrying about work targets, washing laundry over the weekend, deciding which movie to watch... seemingly mundane decisions of a Bangalorean for the weekend and bang- not one, two, three either... 9 blasts!!! and another!
I am driven to think that this could be dirty politics at work. I am sure the true terrorists would try something dumber like hitting IISc. Still, something of this magnitude has left all Bangaloreans stunned.
