Mumbai Blast: My Experience

Today when I just switched on my radio in car, the breaking news was Blast in Mumbai. Normally any blast in India does not makes it through "Breaking News" in US media, until unless its huge. So I knew its going to be worst. As I have many of my relative (close to 15 relatives) some of them being very close. I was so scared when I read the detailed news on various website that there are close to 7 or 8 blast during the peak hour, on western lines. Now this is the line where 4-5 of my relative travel regularly. They commute to office and back to home.

As the telephone and cell phone lines were jammed i tried calling for a long-time but no luck. The fear inside me was growing. After a long time I was able to get one of my relative's cell phone, it was ringing, but no response , a horrible scene just struck in my mind. The scene and my imagination got worsen every time I called and dint received response from him. A scene where limbs and scattered all over the place. The cell phone is ringing somewhere bellow the debris on the track. Did that happened? A chill in my spine went through. My god ! What should I do.

I tried all my relatives in Mumbai, finally I got one of them and talk to them and they told that most of the people they know are fine nothing to worry they are safe at home. I took a sigh of relief. But I know there are some people calling there loved one and there cell phone is stuck below the debris and the area is piled up with parts from their body. Those hands are never going to receive any call that ear is never going to hear anything. They are gone, and they are never going to return home.

May God give power and courage to them, who have suffered the loss.
