It never seems to end… Posted on November 6, 2006November 6, 2006 Another two blasts in Guwahati yesterday. I called mom and dad immediately. My dad told me he was in the same area the day before. It’s a busy shopping centre so there’s likely to be quite a lot of people around. Mom travels to and fro work everyday and a pretty long distance. It’s a little scary and unnerving as to how easy it is for someone to plant a bomb. The next thing you know is someone’s family is wiped out. Someone loses a father, someone a mother, someone else a sibling perhaps. And to what end? Right now, it’s more like violence for the sake of violence. They seem to be intent to terrorising the common man and wiping out their own people from the face of the state.

Do these people really have nothing else to do? Posted on May 4, 2007May 4, 2007 It’s amazing what can take over the collective consciousness of a minority of the population and get a seemingly trivial non-issue hyped all over the media! A kiss, a saree and now Buddha in the bathroom? Like someone said, it’s okay to relieve yourself in public places (that’s obviously a… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
One weekend in Singapore Posted on April 25, 2008April 28, 2008 After a hectic week at home, it was time for a flying visit to Singapore. I’d had a stop over at the island years and years ago, so I didn’t have too many ideas about the place. All I knew was that it was a smallish island very close to… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Week (W)rap! Posted on December 12, 2005December 12, 2005 I was determined to catch something of the Habba this time (since I’ve been doing so continuously for the last two, in 2003 when I was visiting and in 2004 as a resident). Unfortunately, with most of the events during the day, it wasn’t too convenient to attend the musical concerts or the play, which would start at 6.30 pm. Is it possible to get from anywhere to anywhere by 6.30 on a weekday here in the city? Anyway.

There was a time when I used to wonder how safe it would be for someone to be living in the J&K valley area where bombing was something so regular that it finally stopped making much news material. But now after the recent bomb blasts around various parts of the country – you wonder how safe is it to just “live” anywhere. Yes, planting bombs has become so easy. Reply
I remember when I went to gauhati in early 99… nice city.. hope everyone you know is alright. vasu Reply
Just makes life so uncertain and insecure.Over here in Singapore we are also aware it can happen anytime. My friend’s husband works there too. Her story: (http://www.xanga.com/erikanissa/544894614/bomb-blast-amongst-the-unreached-group.html Reply
I know how it must have been. Every time there is blast soemwhere I keep thinking of all my friends in the city and cannot pe at peace until I have made sure they are all safe. When will they realise that it is totally unfair to terrorise common people who have nothing to do with their issues. Reply
I don’t know whether news like this makes me sad or fills me up with anger… No cause, No grievance can justify such horrific acts of sheer cowardice against innocent lives… Reply
It leaves me seething with anger at this idiots.. who gave them authority to take lives? If i get my hands on them i would like to slowly tear them flesh by flesh, blood vessel by vessel, cell by cell,,,, In lighter words, that would make me no different from those cowards…we can just make them do manial jobs for the affected family throughout their life. cheers mohan!
