Pune... OUR Pune...MY Pune....

Its heart - wrenching to watch that they have reached our clean-simple-sweet-pure-beautiful city too...
Its numbing to realise how close to death we all are....




German Bakery - The Leopold - of my Pune... was where we hung out so so often..
Since our college days...way back from 1999 till date...Ive frequented it so much!
From the smiling guy at the cash counter to the masala chai to the cheese and chocolate croissant to the tira misu to the wooden benches to the lanterns to the adverts on the walls about tarot, feng shui, meditation to the whole smell and feel of it........i will miss each bit....

It feels like a part of me went with it....

Its difficult to fathom what and why these things happen to good places and people for no apparent reason at all...

Was it really a bomb blast?? Or was it the cylinder blast?? Or was it an opposition party or was
it really our buddies from accross the border...

We will never know...

For now, Id only plead to them , whoever it is... please leave us alone...please dont touch this virgin city....

And i say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives..may their souls rest in peace and for those
who are recovering in various hospitals...may they recover real soon with the good lords grace..

Amen....

I think its a lesson for all who support terrorists. Dont think ur city is safe just bcz u support the fundamentalists. A lesson for all who support terrorism under the garb of secularism (for novices, it means equality of all religions). I hope it serves as a reminder to one and all that terrorists dont even spare their sympathisers.
