Hyderabad BLasts!

WTF those cowards wanna show?? they have totally gone out of their senses. It was just three months back people 16 died and several were injured in a blast at the city’s Mecca Masjid mosque on May 18. And today 42 persons (confirmed death toll at 8:00am, Aug 26, 2007) were killed and about 65 injured in two powerful near-simultaneous blasts at a crowded park, Lumbini park, during the laser show, India's biggest laser show arena which is just a stone throw away from the Andhra Pradesh secretariat, and a popular eating joint, Gokul Chat, on Saturday evening. Venues are just 5 Kms apart.

A bomb was defused at Dilsukhnagar footover bridge which was timed to blast at 9:30 pm, which is just 4 kms away from my locality. One more defused at Venkataramana theatre, Narayanaguda...

Thank God it rained heavily in the evening else the death toll could have been frightening--the usual weekend count here at Lumbini park is around 1,500 visitors during weekends...

Hyderabad is a city of 7 million people, about 40-45 percent of them Muslim, you know now why Hyderabad is slowly becoming a soft target for such terror attacks. Hyderabad has shown so much of maturity during Mecca Masjid blast, I hope this continues... Please pray for those dead ones and for those who are fighting with death in the hospitals...

May their souls rest in peace...

Team India Coach...do we need one??

The performances of bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad and fielding coach Robin Singh has made a difference to team India... I don't think we need any coach now...

I was dancing with her shadow... # 3

continued from here ...

"Oye .. chup, I can guess what might have happened and what kind of feelings you are undergoing, just relax now..." I said to Raj looking into his eyes.

I know what Raj was undergoing through, it's like hell, it takes away all your energy ,all the happiness and it feels like all paths are closed for you...

In the meanwhile Lucky, Uma and Sameera came there to join us. I asked them in the afternoon to join us here.

"Oye pappey, teri chehra kyu utraa huva hai?" Lucky asked Raj while taking his seat.

"Kuch nahi yaar, it's just weather effect", I responded to his Question.

"Tu chup baitt, I didn't ask you..."

"hmm... "

Raj got up from his seat and walked away, Lucky & I followed him leaving girls there...

"Oye Raj, Kya huva yaar? tu mujhe nahi bataayegaa?"

"Avi tu hi bata usse, I don't have energy to tell everything and sapped..."

I took Lucky aside and told him what all happened and why Raj is behaving like this...In the meanwhile Rachana narrated what all happened to Sameera and Uma...

"Raj itnisi baat keliye tu apne aapko ...cha!!" Lucky said to Raj...

"ok ok, thandd rakk lucky, Raj needs us badly now, we need to take care of him..." I said to Lucky trying to pacify his temper...

While this scene was going on I saw Sameera walking straight towards me ...

"Avinash, what's happening???" Sameera shouted at me ..

"Sameera, SSsshh! ....kuch nahi horaha hai... we'll talk about it later not now.." I said to Sameera taking her aside from the scene...

"What are you trying to do here..?" Sameera yelled at me and slapped me...
