ब्लडी TUESDAY

Jaipur was witness to serial bomb blasts in the city on 13 May 2008. The killers had used bicycles to detonate the timer bombs , killing innocent worshipers of gods on a Tuesday.

Kudos to the people who have grieved and moved on. May God help us all to be more vigilant in the future.

on a cycle blue
blood and gore
a child's plaything
not anymore

a city weeps
walls red-stained
dust smeared garland
in a devotees hand
a life shattered
amidst a bangle stand

pink was my city
peace now shattered
a city today rises
love and faith
bringing souls together
