Guwahati: Thursday's serial blasts have shaken Guwahati like never before. Parts of the city were under curfew as unruly mobs protested against the terror strike.
On Friday morning, people on the streets were anxious. Some shop-owners were seen trying to assess the damage.
Far removed from the panic, 91-year-old Pulin Das, a resident of the city is still coming to terms with the tragedy.
"What ? Seven Zero (70 dead)? My god! Terrible. Most unfortunate. We have never heard such type of terrorist attack in Guwahati in my whole life,” he exclaims, "Guardians tell their sons, daughter don't go, if you can manage, stay home”.
Nabal Kishore More is a fifth generation settler in Guwahati. He was lucky to escape the blast at Fancy Bazaar, where he owns a shop. For him, the fear is all too real.
"It's an atmosphere of fear. As for my family, the kids have not gone to school,” he says.
But then there were some residents, who stood in long queues outside the Guwahati Medical College, donating blood to the victims, slowly helping the city limp back to normalcy.
The city might slowly limp back to normal, its residents might get back to work but the fear will take some time to overcome.
