Mary Jane Malet, an Australian artist visiting New Delhi and staying in a hotel in Paharganj, was in a grocery store just meters away from the blast site when she heard the noise. "There was screaming, and then the air was full of dust, and people were worried they'd asphyxiate themselves," she says.
