The Day When Kochi was in tight security

July 27,I was coming from Palakkad after enjoying my weekend. I boarded Bangalore -Ernakulam Inter City Express from Palakkad. It was the day after Ahmedabad blasts shook whole country. I knew that there would be security and checking at Ernakulam Railway station. However, I saw things different. I saw security much powerful than I expected. I thought there would only be some Policemen guarding outside Station. I saw City Police Commissioner at the station talking to many Policemen, which were being shot by many newschannel's camerapersons. I walked past them. Then I heard someone telling while talking to someone other about bombs. I thought they might be talking about had and Bangalore blasts. I reached main road, South Junction bust stop. I got a bus. I saw City unusually quite. There were Police at Manorama, Kadavantra, and Vytilla and at Petta. I reached home. My cousin and my aunt were biting nails. It was then I knew that there was a bomb scare in Kochi. What a situation to be in unknowingly.
