Terror struck Delhi again on Wednesday morning, when a deadly bomb went off at a busy gate of the
Delhi High Court. It killed 11 people and left 76 others injured. The bomb went off barely 300 meters
away from the spot where a minor explosion had taken place on May 25, which was also a Wednesday.
Police officials now say that it could have been a test run for this blast
The Hindustan Times, 7th September 2011
There are certain incidents in life that shape you as a person, as a citizen and friend, and decide what
course you take in life. The Delhi High Court blast in September, 2011 is such an incident for me. If Its
Not Forever is the story loosely inspired from that blast that left several men, women and children dead
or injured and a search mounted by me and a few of my close friends to find an end to the story of one
of the men who lost his life in that unfortunate blast. Names of places, landmarks and people have been
changed on behest of the people involved in the story of this book.
This book is a tribute to all the innocent lives lost to senseless acts of violence and terrorism.
