We present results of different types of X-ray flares/bursts observed in GRS 1915+105 lasting from 30 s to 1300 s from the analysis of RXTE/PPC data. Each burst consists of a low flux quiescent phase followed by a high flux burst phase. All the observed bursts have a slow exponential rise, a sharp linear decay, and are harder during the burst phase. The 13-60 keV flux relative to 2-13 keV flux is higher during the quiescent phase than that during the burst phase. For all the observed bursts, the duration of quiescent phase is inversely proportional to the square of the QPO frequency (2-10 Hz).
