It was a dark weekend in the aftermath of the blasts in Hyderabad. I called up my family and friends to find out if everyone is safe. Thankfully nobody was hurt or were away from the site of the incident.
I don't get it as to what makes people take the lives of the innocent. It's sick to see the politicians, the ministers (including the Prime Minister) parroting the same old cliched lines like "PM expresses deep concern". I was in Mumbai last year and there were blasts in the local train which killed around 150 people and maimed some for life. Lots of people lost their bread winners and some their kith and kin. The irony is after the blasts, there was the usual finger pointing and sympathy for the victims. The case still remains unsolved just like the other blasts.
It was disturbing to watch on television, human flesh strewn across the auditorium, decapitated torsos and the scene was repeated @ the next site of the blast which is a very famous eatery in the heart of Hyderabad. People may hate the United States, but after 9/11 there has been no terrorist attacks in the U.S.
Sunday evening I drove all the way to Innovative Multiplex, however was disappointed on not getting a ticket for "The Transfomers".
Monday morning and back to office. Today, I didn't have much work except for the conference call in the evening.
