I found out earlier today that on the evening of February 13 of this year, a bomb went off in my beloved German Bakery in Koregaon Park, Pune, India. A quick google search found reports of 17 people dead, and more than 50 people injured. The place was a home away from home for visiting foreigners, and a popular meeting place. I've spent a lot of time in there, drinking chai and conversing with friends and strangers alike.

My head reels, and my heart hurts, at this news.
