Bomb blasts in delhi

Just as we all are preparing for Diwali...

I could not beleive what I read on yahoo messenger.
My friend typed something I didn't believe. Bomb blasts in Delhi, in Sarojini Nagar Market and Paharganj.

Sarojini Nagar market is one of the places on every college goers list...

I have great memories of going to Sarojini Nagar.
I used to go there when I was 10 years old on every alternate weekends, then my father got transferred and when we finally came back to Delhi, it was still a favorite haunt of mine.

Most of the shoppers out there are Students from all across India studying at Delhi University or some other college.

After hearing the news first thing I did was to call my parents, as many times we do our Diwali shopping for crackers etc. from Sarojini Mkt. and it was my sisters birthday day before. I was concerned if she was out there with her friends or my parents were there.

Well it was a big relief that they all were home safe and sound.

But, I still feel sad for people who lost somebody they loved and are going to celebrate a dark diwali.

At the same time I feel even more sad for the people who carry out such acts of terrorism; killing innocent people and feel that they have carried out a great act of patriotism.

I feel the same whenever something like this happens. How sad are these so called freedom fighters/terrorists who take pride by killing innocent people worldwide.
