Bomb blasts and I..

I was driving back home with my brother and wife, all of a sudden we realised that our car was stopped by police and they were more inquisitive and sincere in their work than I have normally seen Jaipur Police. A thought crossed to my mind that something wrong of substantial nature has happened in Jaipur...may be..some explosion. After few minutes, we received a call from home to rush back home asap, telling us the obvious news about the bomb blasts in Jaipur.
It was scary..I had a sinking feeling in my heart initially.never thought this kind of thing can happen in jaipur (many of my friends said, it is unimaginable for them)..when I reached home, I saw my close family members safe at home. It was such a big relief that at least we are safe. That sounds so selfish but it is the truth. We called our relatives and closed friends telling them that we are safe and asking about their wellbeings. Slowly slowly it just became another news.
Different people (mostly my family members and friends ) had different reactions. Some said politicians are to be blamed. Some tried to gave a religious color to this. All giving all sorts of excuses to put the blame on each other while saying (implicitly) that we are the most noble humans on this earth.
I do not know why all these kind of blasts repeatedly happen in India but somewhere each of us is responsible..I feel..I do not know why I am saying this..
Lot to say...but ..silence is at least golden, if not diamond.
