Bomb Blasts and Coffee Bite

  Image Courtesy: http://talkingtails.wordpress.com/ Yet another bomb blast. This time it is the famous German Bakery in Koregaon Park in Pune. Thronged by lots of foreigners and many self proclaimed happening people from posh areas around. An uncanny resemblance to a Goan shack and a not-so-Indian ambiance ensured that it was always packed. But well, enough about the goodness about the place, that is unquestionable nevertheless. I am here to talk about the bomb blasts that have become a norm for creating and spreading terror in India. If we notice, the level of comfort that we have attained before we raise our eyebrows to crime is alarming. Murders, rapes, forgery, road rage - all pass without much noise (unless it effects you directly) and a small mention in a newspaper or may be not.  So what does it take to move India? A Telgi with a multimillion scam, a Nithari homicide or bomb blasts that kill many people (even better if foreigners and especially Jews are amongst the dead).
