Scared... and hurting...

It is beyond disturbing to see lives being taken away repeatedly, in the name of religious fanaticism... I've reached this point where i don't feel safe anymore... and I don't like it...

The German Bakery, a truly wonderful eat-out in Pune vanished last night, prey to terrorism... When in Pune last year, I fell in love with this place... the food, the people... everything about it was so warm and comforting... In the one week that i was there, i visited it thrice or so...

It had this natural, green ambiance... which instantly calmed one who entered... one would be lucky to see osho devotees playing instruments, meditating or sharing their thoughts with others... pretty much in their own trance...

The staff there, was always cheerful and ready to help...

It is rare to find eat-outs in India, where the staff is genuinely happy with their work... this was one of those places...

The people who died, were probably regulars there... who came in peace having absolutely no inkling that something of such magnitude could happen...

I always thought I would go back to the German Bakery when i visit Pune...
