Bomb blasts in New Delhi - two explosions reported in Connaught Place, which is near where my grandparents live, and where they do their shopping, and another two blasts in Greater Kailash, which is where my other set of grandparents live, and do their shopping.

I called my father. He is making phone calls, I'm sure, and I'm sure he's hearing that everything is fine, but in the meantime buggering buggering BUGGERING FUCK.

edited to add: Family all present and accounted for, thank god, although drinking a lot of tea and not going outside. My favourite café in Delhi has just blown up. I am drinking coffee and eating ginger cake, gratefully.

That's awful. I am glad that your family are alright, but what a horrible thing to happen.

Reading people on LJ makes the world smaller and more relevant.

I am so glad your family is safe.

i remember Connaught Place from 8 years ago - buying books and art supplies and walking amongst the shops before travelling north. i can't believe this. i'm really glad that your family is all okay - and i'm sending calming thoughts your way...
