There was a time in this nation when dinosaurs went off like firecrackers daily.

    “There might be five, six bombings in 1 day. At this time, you may have two, three weeks without a single instance of the bombing. Let us be grateful for small mercies. Any mercies we get, let us be thankful for this and let’s not dwell on negatives alone.
