Dude. don't worry mate. Nothing happened around Malleswaram. Most them are around Hosur Road.

Try using Vodafone. I had no isssues making calls.

lets not make it an argument please. please just keep posting updates. I am not able to contact any of my friends in bangalore. the telephones are not working?

Yep .. I didnt know abt this till my brother called me and told abt it.... im near mysore road.

From the news articles. The locations seem to be this.

The explosions shook Sirjapur Road, Nayandhalli, Madiwala checkpost, Adigudi, Rajaram and Raja Ram Mohan Rai Circle.

Bangloreans, please leave a reply here if you are safe.

@parka: Don't you dare give it an kind of religious spin. We will perma ban anyone who goes around making it a religious issue.

nope... for my sis, she goes for tutions about 7 floors above the house of a very close friend of mine. I thought I would call him and ask to check on her and inform her to come home carefully. But his landline appears dead

But malleswaram is a big community center of bangalore... it has tonnes and tonnes of people, all crowded into a small area which was once the most populated "outer" area of bangalore... its still I guess the densest part of bangalore.

And IISc is right next door, both to malleswaram and my house...

There is only one way out now: Go hardcore... I am thinking of biking out to malleswaram and check on them

now they are saying its 2 killed, 20 injured

there were communal disturbances two weeks back, and my classes were suspended...
but I am SURE it was not them because they were just some inncent people who just threw stones at each other for some triffle matter.

UPDATE: My sister is back home safely

Another blast outside Mallya hospital. 7 blasts in all ? Damn it!

@ pat..

few sources say its 5, few 6 & few 7.. we will get the proper news later in the eve..

N

CNN IBN quotes police commissioner saying that there have been 7 blasts . i hope everyone is safe .

Pat said:

Damn

they didn't even spare a hospital of all places.
are blasts continuing even now ? is this mallya blast recent ?

UPDATE: My mom is also safe... she says she will come home at the usual time

metalheadgautam, is indiranagar near these places? the old madras road?

^^^ Nope.

One of the news reports told all injured were taken to Mallya hospital. Dammit!!

ilugd said:

Not that close. The blasts are of low intensity so these places should not be affected.

WTH!!!!

It's extraordinarily organized.

Anyways, Hat's off to city police. They are keeping panic out of the Bangaloreans. In my office, management have stalled all the cabs until they hear from Police that it's safe to travel. SO, am stuck at one of the safest locations.

PS: your siggy makes more sense than ever

Mofo terrorists.

Update: All seven blasts on a stretch from Brigade Road to Hosur Road

I used to be in koramangala, now finding out weather old roommates are still at home or in office. I hope they are safe.

this is once again terror attack and this time it is karnataka my beautiful state.I hope police and cbi get hold off terrorist and behead them in front of all.This law exist in saudi arabia.Damn you terrorist

They can't reach corrupt leader and its easier to kill common and innocent people since they are an easy target

HATS OFF TO BANGALOREANS.

The blasts were done to derail the city. Thats what ****ing terrorists may have thought. But life is just normal and everyone is helping the police, traffic jams continue, office continue.

Police are also saying that nobody is scared here and that they are all helping police to bring everything under control.

I WISH THE BANGALOREANS CONTINUE TO BE STONG AND SHOW THOSE ****ING TERRORISTS THAT WE ARE NOT AFRAID, WE ARE NOT WORRIED, WE ARE BANGALOREANS

yeah desiibond God bless karnataka.

This is really bad. Just saw the news in TV and thought I wil check with the TD members form Blore. Glad all are safe.

Terrorism sux. It has no religion and caste. No religion ever ask their followers to kill innocents. It is all about some retarded sick people who are spread all over the world and do such nasty things.

Desi-Tek.com said:

Because that's what terrorists do targeting innocent civilians and causing utter destruction

.

And there have been Intelligence warnings of "sleeper terror cells" in Northern Karnataka.

Its actually 7 blasts in 6 places.

I wonder why our country doesn't retaliate against the country which is supposed to be breeding grounds for terrorists. Our good for nothing politicians still want to have diplomatic relations with such a country.

This sucks

Anyway good to know that the guys who have replied here are safe.

Anyone else from Bangalore? Anirudh reprort here please.

I came to know around an hour back. Friends had called and missed the message and calls

Everyone is fine, thankfully

I hope everyone's kith and kin are ok.

Rain hampering traffic now

Just came home and saw the news. Glad to know you guys are all safe. God bless Bangalore.

then indian version of hamaas can be sure expected against the government.

we need a monarch who is religious tolerant(so no BJP!) ,but make sure no mercy towards terrorists ,and unfortunately most of them are Islamists wahabbi ones must be eliminated.

THIS IS NOT OFFTOPIC. then only these terrorists problems will be solvable.

8th blast a while ago

I wonder what was the objective these ppl had by doing these blasts...

glad they used geletain and not RDX

And this reminds me of a (now) horrid joke my Organic Chemistry professor said about <edited-to-not-give-terrorists-any-more-ideas> molecule when he was talking about its boiling point... when I asked about its stability, he said its damn unstable and much more destructive than RDX. He said these "cheapo terrorists" still use RDX and that thats why you can say ignorance is the reason we ppl are alive...

@gautham .. where was the blast? .. im about to leave my office..

Had been out.. thankfully safe... A blast very near to my place (Gopalan Mall - about 2kms or so).. Sis was stuck.. managed to get home... Gf still in office.. Actually its safer there.. but then just gotta know of a blast near her office too

(hebbal flyover)...

kinda tense moments.. even tho they are low intensity blasts.. Dammit.. 9 blasts! and 12 more suspected.. what has the city come to!!??? We never know what do we haf in store!

8th - Gopalan Mall
9th - Hebbal Flyover

damnit.. im going out .. Hope I get home safely.. its raining cats and dogs

Uncle works in Electronic City.. not home yet.. waiting for him... Things are going not so smooth near Hosur Road! Anybody on that side?

Charan.. be carefull.. one blast already on Mysore Road and one just happened near Gopalan Mall... damn.. 2 blasts near my place!!!

9th blast at Hebbal? I thought 9th was RV college on mysore road at 6.30pm??

Charan said:

good luck...
rain only lessens effect of blast. think positive.

The latest blast was at Hebbal flyover.. now I'm not sure if its 9th or 10th!!!!!

I did not understand your post completely. What do you mean by "hamaas"..
Personally i believe BJP is the only party that has sensible people in it, Our country and constitution is very much religious tolerant ( a bit more i think by giving reservations to minority groups which is senseless, i don know why being minority will entitle reservation.).

Our so called leaders should take strong action against terrorism, by monitoring certain group of people. (I don want to say anything more about the "group" as it is banned . this would make a nice topic in Fight club )

[dont start any fight over it.. This is my personal opinion. I am just letting out my feelings for all the people who lost their lives all this years. ]

Look at kashmir its supposed to be called "PARADISE ON EARTH". We thought our bangalore was safe. No it isnt unless we do something this plague spreads......

Near my college !!! I left the college at 4:30....

HAMAAS is a terrorist organization in Palestine which "hacked" the power through violence and Islam.they organized violent attacks to create panic for 2 decades before came to this position.

BJP is good.agreed.but those who support BJP *CANNOT* see minorities(read christians,moslems) and it is a fact. recently there are many hindu radical organizations formed and lead under fundamentalists like Praveen Thogadia ,Narendr Modi etc(thanks to IslamistS!) .now ,Hindus after fed up with Islamists and other fights constituting genocides of many hindus are equally good to something like AL_QAIDA. Kerala ,where Hindus count only around 40%(IIRC) ,where I see a lot of violence shown by otherwise tolerant Hindus.the fule on fire is added by RSS ,Hindu Aikya Vedi ,SNDP etc. between two elephants is ,other minorities who are easy target for radical Hindus :rolleyes;(read christians esp).

wtf ? this is reaching to the extreme

@infra_red_dude

Was waiting for your post. Glad all are safe.

9 and 10 ? This is terrible. Really sad

9 till now

/me is veeeery upset by now

BTM layout ?Safe ,I hope and pray(ofcourse for whole bangaloreans too) .

^^ I live in BTM layout and belive me, there isn't any sign of blasts. traffic and human movement in full flow, people enjoying chats in rain.....

BTW, there never was 9th. Total 8. first six detonated in 12 minutes, other two after two hours.

Primary problem that we are facing is the power cuts

Yes, and it's time they took a public stand on these incidents. That will clarify the position of the so called "silent majority". Reminds me of what George Bush Jr. said,

"If you're not with us you're against us".

They will also have to turn informers and expose those in their community who provide logistical support to terrorists, else they will be feared and shunned by the rest of society.

Ball is in their court.

sigh... Hosur Road... so near.. i changed my route while coming from Koramangala to Rajajinagar :neutral:

I fear this is a warning of things to turn up in the future :sad:

Thanks To All Who Wished For Td Bangalorean's Well Being.

+1
and glad you reached home safely

^^thanks, right now, rocking tracks in DIRT

I live very far from city.. no blasts here..

Back home safely.. there was something unusual on the streets.. every one were driving slow and cautiously never saw people of bangalore drive so slowly.

isn't that because of the rain??

Obvious. People are just trying to be safe.
I hope its over. I don't want to see even MORE blasts now.

desiibond said:

nope.. its was just a light drizzle....

@Gautham .. yes .. people are being cautious.. but I dont see any fear in their eyes... just cautious..

OMG!!There was a blast at RV college...Dammit..any students from that college here?? **** those terrorists who use educational institutions to vent their loath. they should be hanged by their ***** and castrated.

People are not all cowards. But at the same time, throwing away your life for nothing is stupid too.

They not just attacked a hospital but also an educational institution.

I wonder what pleasure or sense of serving some purpose these people get by hurting people who are completely innocent.

K

Power cuts worries me more!

^^huh???

WTF would you have to do with power if theres a bomb blast near ur hous the next day?? ( I pray to god that it doesnt happen, touchwood)

Charan said:

@Gautham .. yes .. people are being cautious.. but I dont see any fear in their eyes... just cautious..

Hurrah!!! That should send a clear message to those ****ing terrorists that we do not fear and will stand united

Blast was at RV Dental college not RV Engg. College as informed by someone (or did I read it wrong?)

^^ Good to see you!!!

Hope everyone's safe. God Bless India.

Rumors: This is not a terrorist attack! Politics!!!

^^^ Yep

Probably. The CM spoke in the same way..

hope all are okay.

damn, blast in "shivaji nagar"?

thats where a lot of ppl (i know of) go for veg. shopping (when i was at b'lore). hope they're safe. emailed them. cant reach on phone

imo b'lore police r slow

be strong, guys.

TN Police should tighten the security at chennai & other cities.

all metro's attacked so far, except chennai. ijust hope it never happens here or anywhere.

^^^ Never believe the ba$tard$ (read politicians), be it BJP/Cong/JD or whatever $hit.

OMG!...
I hope all banglorians and their families are okay...

Whatever the reason of blast... it really shows how strong our security system is. Blasts in a metro.. imagine what can happen in small cities and towns.

Terrorists = mother ****ing idiots

Any latest update? I can't switch on my TV now. News sites haven't updated anything else.

same on the police and politician they know all the things when its happen and where .they r spectator enjoying on tv then come to shoke shabha with innocent face.shot all corrupted politician crime has finish with him they support criminals and they r professional criminal

F

My prayers go out to the folks in Bangalore. May the responsible be brought to justice.

I left the coll at 4:30.... I think its rumour, it was not near RV Engg coll.

It was near RV Dental college as infra pointed out.

anyone noticed slow net speeds since the blasts? my net used to max out at 30kb/s but now it max out at 20kb/s. is it only me?

JUST IN:-

A high intensity bomb was found near Forum Mall near Koramangala and it has now been diffused.

^ ZOMG! Thank god!

Another bomb found near some jewelery store and diffused.

Rumors: This is not a terrorist attack! Politics!!!

I agree. If it was a terrorist attack, then they would want to cause some serious damage, but here in B'lore everything is normal. Its all sh!t politics to blame Govt. and the Govt., is blaming the Central Govt. for all this! What crap is this?
If the motivation of these blasts isn't political, then its a test attack by a terrorist organisation to check the security in B'lore to launch a large scale attack in the future.

today when coming to chennai (lalbagh exp), the train stopped at "Arakonam" station [1hr. frm chennai](usual stop), but today 4-5 Policemen borded (per compartment) equiped with a "detector" & checked all the baggages'.[it took them jus 10mins to do the job]. with boared some photographers, dunno whether "press" or maybe pics. are for evidence if some thing unwanted happens.which i hope never does.

till that station the train was "on time", but when it arrived at chn, it was late by 30mins

chennai is on high alert after what happned in b'lore.

They checked All the baggages in 10 min? Wow.. Either these guys are damn good, or they're doing it for the sake of it..

obviously it is for appearance sake. to show the press that chennai is on high alert. In any case, unless they have actual intelligence that there are explosives checking of baggage is not practically feasible. And random checks do not work to prevent terrorist attacks.

they checked with detectors (similar to metal detector). 2 cops at one end & two at other end. (per compt.)

must say they checked them with "sincerity " :))

.

did they sniff the bags? unless they sniff, it is not called a comprehensive sweep. If they didn't have dogs, they are supposed to sniff the bags themselves.

You don't need sniff to detect bombs. A bomb detector can detect bomb that is couple of inches away. That's why they don't have to open every bag.

Think what will happen if they search every single item in every compartment. Today's train will arrive tomorrow.

Please have some respect for police!!!

Especially Chennai police.

PS: Why is it that every city is regularly attacked except for Chennai???

Coz they fear Chennai police and Ammaji.

well atleast they might scare off some noob terrorist

damn, you guys dont appriciate anything, even if its good. thank the cops that atleast they've taken THIS step.

btw unless the cops hav info. they wont take such steps (get the bags sniffed), that'll cause major problem in train traffic.

hey, take it easy. their job is is to do their job. mine is to make fun of how they do their job.

@s1800rpm: Exactly, There is one comedy scene in one telugu movie where a reporter writes a column on police failures in stopping violence.

And Shayayji Shinde as police says "Do you know when exactly your son will cry on what is going to happen in next minute?? When you don't know what is going to happen in the next hour, how can you expect us to bring violence to zero??"

The intellligence and police are doing whatever they can. You can just can't blame them for these attacks. Moreover, even if they catch someone, they get a call from a VIP or political figure demanding release of criminal.

Eg: few years ago, Andhra police had got tip on a major naxalite meeting going on in AP. They rounded the militants and every major person in People's war group was there. But Police had to abort the mission just because few policians received warnings that they have to face serious consequences if the People's war leaders are encountered. Everyone knew that it could've been end of People's war if Police went ahead with the operation.

What would you say now? Why will police go on combing again when they know that politicians will not allow them to do what they have to do.

It's a shame that you think like this!!!!

K

But why is it that MOST of the policemen do not do their work properly, even in Chennai/TN?

@k6153r, thats "Indian Police"

the corrupt politicians have corrupted the cops too.

the lower ranks cops (esp. traffic cops) want bribe coz they feel their salary is too low to buy a bike...
