Terrible Weekend

It all started with the blasts in Bangalore on friday (25th July), totally about 8 of them - 3 of them about half a kilometer from where i stay, while we were relieved that the intensity of the blasts was low, it also puts in a fear if this was what it was meant to be or something else is coming?

Saturday was very bad with Ahmadabad being rocked with 16 blasts and the security folks able to retrieve 3 live blasts also, the folks in Ahmadabad were not as lucky as the Bangalore folks there were huge casualties, more than 50 people dead.

It is so unfortunate that folks who are doing this do not understand what they are doing and why they are doing, they are causing damage to innocent people and their property, if they have the guts they should voice their opinion in more non violent way - violence and hurting someone is the most easiest way and i dont think they have the heart or the guts to do it the hard way.

All they can do is put bombs in crowded place and rejoice about their victory when see some innocent folks die, this is nothing but a cowardly way of doing this and whoever is behind this is just that...a coward.

Good roads are sometimes bad!

In the last few weeks most of the roads around Bangalore have been getting some make up and the roads are looking good now. I stay in Richmond town and most of it also got some make over of the roads, the roads look very decent and good, but unfortunately the roads do not look safer any more with folks really zooming in and out on these roads.

There were couple of incidents that happened around these places and we need to be more careful while crossing the roads. I am not criticizing the good quality of the roads right now as bad roads can cause more accidents, but its about vehicle owners using these more responsibly.

So sometimes good roads can be bad!
