Kerala Convention Centre blasts: 'Had just closed eyes to pray, then there were blasts & fire'

喀拉拉邦会议中心发生爆炸：“刚刚闭上眼睛祈祷，就发生了爆炸和火灾。”

KOCHI: Fourteen-year-old Ashwin arrived at the Zamra International Convention Centre in Kalamassery on Sunday as excited about spending time with his friend Savio as he was about the prayer session his mother Shiny had brought him to.

科钦：14岁的阿什温周日抵达卡拉马里的扎姆拉国际会议中心，他对将要和朋友萨维奥结伴玩耍感到兴奋，也对母亲要带他去参加祈祷会感到兴奋。

The teenager, who had travelled around 16km to the venue with his mother from their native place in Kanjur near Kalady, had barely closed his eyes for prayer along with the rest of the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation when back-to-back explosions broke his reverie.

这个少年和他的母亲从16公里之外的卡拉迪附近的家乡坎珠尔来到会场，他刚和其他耶和华见证人会众合上眼睛祈祷，接连的爆炸就打破了他的幻想。

"There was fire and smoke all around me. I felt something on my face and hands," he recounted to TOI. Ashwin suffered hand and face injuries. At the hospital where he was being treated in the evening, he looked at his 43-year-old mother lying on the bed next to his and said, "Am relieved that papa did not come. He would have sat near me and got hurt, too."

“我周围都是火焰和烟雾。我觉得脸上和手上有东西，”他向《印度时报》讲述道。阿什温的手和脸都受伤了。晚上，他躺在医院，看着躺在他旁边床上的43岁母亲说：“幸好爸爸没有来，我松了一口气。如果他也一起来，肯定会坐在我旁边，这样他也会受伤的。”

Aksa George, a nurse at a private hospital in Kochi, said she was in "a state of trance" when the explosions happened. "Although I am a medical professional, I wasn't in a physical and mental condition to help anyone. I suffered burns on my hands."

科钦一家私立医院的护士阿克萨·乔治说，爆炸发生时，她完全处于“茫然恍惚”之中。“虽然我是一名医疗专业人员，但我的身体和精神状况都无法帮助任何人。我自己的手也被烧伤了。”

According to the attendees of the event, the organisers had given a safety demonstration that included ext routes from the hall, which reduced the number of casualties. For those who fell in the initial scramble, chairs strewn across the hall were the main hindrance.

参加活动的人说，主办方进行过安全讲解，介绍过大厅出口的逃生路线，此举减少了伤亡人数。对那些在混乱之初摔倒的人来说，散落在大厅各处的椅子是主要的路障。

以下是印度时报读者的评价：

violence of this kind that causes death and injuries to express dissent must be condemned.

我们还是必须谴责这种为不同意见而造成伤亡的暴力行为。

Those who indulge in arson and terrorist activities like bomb blasts etc need to be eliminated. Thanks to the ruling party there is only a thin left between antinational activities and political opposition. We need to put down the real antinationals like these terrorists and show no mercy irrespective of religion. However, before cracking down on fringe elements we should treat all religions equally. Religion should not spill into the political arena or roads.

对那些沉迷于纵火和炸弹爆炸等恐怖活动的人，必须拔草除根以绝后患。因为执政党的存在，反国家活动和政治抗议活动之间的界限变得很模糊。我们需要镇压恐怖分子这种真正的反民族分子，无论宗教信仰如何，都不能心慈手软。但在打击边缘分子之前，我们应该平等对待所有宗教。宗教不应该渗透到政治舞台或道路上。

The country or an organisation which carries out genocide and spread fanaticism in the name of religion or panth must be discarded and punished.All activities pertaining to the fanaticism must be criticized and curbed immediately otherwise the EARTH would become a tinder box.Whole world should unite against it.

以宗教的名义进行种族灭绝，传播狂热的国家或组织必须得到惩罚。所有跟狂热有关的活动都必须立即受到批评和遏制，否则地球将成为一个火药箱。全世界应该团结起来反对这种行为。

Kerala politicians openly declaring support for hamas palestine is certainly disturbing.

喀拉拉邦的政客们公开宣布支持哈马斯和巴勒斯坦，这种行为当然令人不安。

Kerala has been ab active center of PFI.The recent blast raises many questions. The surrender by a man is not at all convincing. Real truth is yet to come out.

喀拉拉邦一直是印度人民阵线的活跃中心。最近的爆炸引发了许多问题。一个人的投降一点也不令人信服。真正的真相还没有浮出水面。

The risk taking ability is the key to success... Praying increasing your risk taking ability... It means, submitting yourself to God and let him decide the fate after you have done your part... Everything around you is not in your control, you can only pray and hope things would be fine...

承担风险的能力是成功的关键。祈祷只能提高你承担冒险的能力…也就是说，在你完成自己的任务后，把自己交给上帝，让他来决定你的命运……你周围的一切都不是你所能控制的，你只能祈祷，希望一切都会好起来……

OF ALL THE PEOPLE RANTING TERRORISM AND RADICAL ISLAMISATION SHOULD NOTE THAT THE PERSON BEHIND THESE BLAST WAS A MEMBER OF THE SAME CONVENTION. HENCE A CHRISTIAN. HE WAS AGAINST THE TEACHINGS OF THE CONVENTION AND WANTED TO END IT. STOP BLAMING MUSLIMS FOR EVERYTHING YOU FOOLS.

在所有怒骂恐怖主义的人中，我们要明白这些爆炸事件的幕后黑手是同一个教会的成员，基督徒。他反对教义，想要结束教会。别再把一切都怪到MSL头上了，你们这些傻瓜。

Google for the blogpost below - The sordid history of Zionist Ashkenazi Jews whose ancestors were Khazar cannibals , psychopaths for whom mass murder of Gazan children is spectator sport. . Sadism is a Talmudic rite of passage for Israeli children.

搜索一下这篇博文—犹太复国主义者阿什肯纳兹犹太人的肮脏历史，他们的祖先是卡扎尔食人族，对他们来说，大规模屠杀加沙儿童就是一项观赏性运动。施虐就是犹太法典中以色列儿童的成人仪式。
