I live near the recent bomb blast place!–Sorry it has nothing to do with you. I just mentioned it.</p>

<p>@hopingforbetter - I just felt like asking the fellow applicants from India about this.
Oh yes, I heard about the blasts. I hope you and your family are fine.</p>

<p>Thank you for your wishes and yes we are fine, but I just cried seeing that place. TERRIFYING and HORRIFYING!</p>
