i'm okay

The bomb blasts all happened along the Western rail line. That's the line i take to and from work everyday. Thanks to my odd hours i was not on the rush-hour train on which the blasts took place. Getting home was okay. k came and got me pretty late at night so we ran into a little traffic, but we got home in about an hour and half (normally a 20 min. drive) . People were on the road handing out water and biscuits, putting up signs for free lodging, and directing traffic. The police were escorting people from hospital to hospital to help them look for relatives. k's hospital was inundated with injured and dead. There's a blood drive on as the hospitals need blood. People here are stunned, but everyone still made their way to work. This kind of series bombing has occurred in 1993 and 2002 also. Lots of VIPs are scrambling around shouting for answers and the like. The ‘Who Dunnit?’ is not that unclear, but there is no official word as of yet. A little Google News time will fill in the details.

I am only concerned about what will happen when people are no longer stunned. Hopefully riots won’t break out. This is all a lot. July has been crazy with the flooding, the Shiv Sainik riots on July 9, and now this. The July 9 riots occurred as a political move—they had burnt buses, stopped trains, and terrorised shops into closing their shutters—against whoever threw mud on the bust of a party leader’s deceased wife. Short of the long—I’m okay, k is okay. love you and miss you guys. thanks for your concern. k :)
