Hello everyone as this is my first blog, so pls handle if any mistakes.I have read many blogs on @MouthShut_Official and got inspired, but truly am not a good writer as compared to that I have seen on MouthShut_Official like @suraaz, @heart_twister, @jmathur, @jains24, @agent_47 but still it's a small try.
Blog is related to me and my friends when we have planned to spend few days in jaipur as we have got holidays after a long time on work. The excitement was rolling out and hearts were full of joy but one never know what's going to be happen at the next moment.similarly we stupids started planning things what should we take with us?, what spots we have to visit? As all was set perfectly as per our planning.
We reached jaipur in the morning around 11.00 am as the date was 28/10/2009 after getting down we were so tried that we went straight to the hotel and decided to have some rest and then we can go out in the evening to visualize the night life and lights of the beautiful pink city. After exploring the whole market we had some tradition food dal bati and churma which people often like to have in jaipur.
The location of our hotel was just awesome it was surrounded by lake from two sides and there was an engineering college with a huge campus and play ground some students were playing football some where having chats some were having their eye at girls hostels.They might be looking for their girl friend to come near windows the environment was very cool and peaceful all were happy and busy in doing their works.
Among us swapnil and Jay were having rest and satish was in bathroom taking bath and me was standing at the windows and looking at the college ground.It was 8pm at the clock suddenly a huge sound came from the north side for a minute I was in shock I don't know what actually happened it was like lightening have fallen there was a strong force of impact came which was enough to break all the glasses and shake the buildings the impact was so strong that even today if I think of it my throat gets dry.
Freek what a horrible blast that was it was just 3.5km away from our hotel there was an Indian oil depot there were total 7 tanks of crude oil in it and one among them got blasted due leakage. The moments that my eye captured firstly when the sound of blast came were
There were some students that were doing prayer after their dinner they all ran towards the main gate shouting Help Help.Some were crying.Some got fainted.Some got hurt as the building mirrors got broken with the sound.
Secondly some students were having their dinner at the mess the chairs and tables moved mirrors broken their dinner plates fallen they all started running towards the main gate.
Thirdly within a second all the lights were cut in that area I can only see only the darkness and huge flames of fire that were touching the sky.
Then suddenly swapnil came and he pulled me and shouted "there is a blast come on let's get out of here." with this I reverted myself back from the shock and ran out of the hotel ours minds were not working what should be done.The only safest place we found at that time was the college ground.
We were in our night dresses without thinking of our laguage and stuffs with these clothes we left thanks to god I took my wallet so that it can help us with penny if we remain alive. We left the room and went straight to the ground.
I have no fear for the Lord is my guide through this forest, this storm, and this empty road. Where it seemed I have reached the biggest obstacle in my life, walked off the wrong path, and tried to hold off the last stand, I thank Him for this journey He wanted me to experience. As long as He is guiding me, I will always follow.
To be continued.
what a horrible and ferocious night that was I couldn't complete the whole, rest will be in next blog how we fought for life that night.I hope you all like this as it was real one which we faced 4 years back.but we are alive god is great.
Naveen.
