18 in a row

A few days ago there were serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad where I live. 18 bombs in a little over an hour. Luckily most of us were within the safe confines of the campus. As usual all mobile phone lines got jammed, as they always do in a crisis. I now have no desire whatsoever to go out of the campus, to a movie or a restaurant. This is probably exactly what the terrorists want, sooner or later l guess life will return to normal. But in the meantime its not a comfortable feeling. First in Bangalore, last year in Jaipur, now here. Don’t know when or where they will next hit.

What kind of mind these terrorists have is beyond me. I really wish to know what they hope to achieve out of mindless killing. Human nature is beyond any explanation.
