We have analyzed publicly available RXTE/PCAs archival data of GRS 1915+105 during its burst/flaring state. The burst cycle ranges from 30 to 1300 s. These bursts are different from the type I and type II classical bursts seen in Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) in terms of their temporal and spectral properties. We have classified these bursts on the basis of properties observed during the quiescent (low flux) phase. The 2 - 10 Hz QPOs are present during the quiescent phase and disappear during the burst phase of all types of these X-ray bursts. The duration of the quiescent phase can be explained assuming an outflow from the post-shock regions and the catastrophic Compton cooling.
